• 0:00
  Hey everyone, I'm Stefanie.
• 0:01
  I'm Meredith.
• 0:01
  And welcome to, this is, my circus.
• 0:04
  We should like shorten it to T M I C.
• 0:08
  No, that's not even right.
• 0:09
  Is it this T P I M C?
• 0:11
  Is that, is that what you said?
• 0:13
  I don't think so.
• 0:15
  So nevermind.
• 0:15
  We shouldn't shorten it.
• 0:17
  If you hear deep breathing, that's Rex.
• 0:18
  He's like right up on the microphone.
• 0:20
  He is, he is.
• 0:22
  So I think our um, little intro kind of.
• 0:25
  Goes with how our weeks have been going.
• 0:27
  Yeah.
• 0:27
  Oh my gosh.
• 0:28
  My, it's just been so crazy.
• 0:29
  It has been crazy.
• 0:31
  And I'm done adulting me.
• 0:32
  Can we just sail away and be pirates or something?
• 0:36
  Cause I keep telling Dylan that I'm gonna run away.
• 0:39
  Like Yeah.
• 0:39
  I'm like, I, I'm done.
• 0:41
  I'm gonna run away.
• 0:42
  It's just one thing after another.
• 0:44
  So he's like, can you please take me with you?
• 0:46
  No.
• 0:46
  That Well, yeah, yeah, we can.
• 0:48
  Well, we can't pay Dilly.
• 0:49
  We can.
• 0:50
  And, and then I'm like, well, I can't leave Rex.
• 0:51
  Right?
• 0:52
  Like, well, our pirate ships getting Stef, we're gonna sink Oh my goodness.
• 1:00
  So what's been going on?
• 1:02
  Well, just, just like adulting stuff, you know, like dealing with grown up things that are not fun to deal with, like insurance stuff.
• 1:10
  And I mean, just, you know, making doctor's appointments and following up on things, which just reminds me, I forgot to.
• 1:17
  We're supposed to order supplies for Brian's c p a machine, like every few months.
• 1:20
  And I, that was on my to-do list today.
• 1:22
  I didn't get it done, so I need to get that done.
• 1:24
  Um, hey, he is just adorable.
• 1:27
  I just always get so distracted by Rex.
• 1:29
  Yes.
• 1:30
  Um, so yeah, I've just been doing a lot of that.
• 1:31
  I mean, winding down with school.
• 1:33
  So this is Jackson's last week.
• 1:34
  Is Dylan done or does he have exams?
• 1:36
  Has one final tomorrow and then he is done.
• 1:38
  And then he is done.
• 1:39
  Yeah.
• 1:39
  Is he so excited?
• 1:40
  He is very, but then, you know, like, I'm like, oh my God, like he's gonna be a sophomore.
• 1:45
  Yeah.
• 1:45
  Like how did this happen?
• 1:47
  Yeah.
• 1:47
  I did the whole thing this morning going to taking Dr dropping Jackson off at school and I was like, this is your last Monday that you'll be a middle schooler, you know, just all the, the feels.
• 1:57
  The feels, yeah.
• 1:58
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:58
  Um, so Dylan, what is Jackson nervous about going to the high school?
• 2:02
  Um, I did not think he was until I read a paper he wrote recently at for school and yeah, he says he's a little anxious about it, so, So, you know, Dylan was very nervous last year.
• 2:15
  Mm-hmm.
• 2:15
  Um, until like the second day of like, you know, like, you know, I think it's just like worrying about getting to your classes on time.
• 2:22
  Oh yeah.
• 2:23
  You know, um, the exploratory classes are like in a whole nother building.
• 2:27
  Right.
• 2:27
  And so he was like freaking out about like, you know, just not knowing where to exactly where to go.
• 2:32
  Right.
• 2:32
  Well, and I can relate to that because I'm one of those people who I get a little bit of anxiety.
• 2:38
  Like if we go to a new restaurant and I don't know how to check in, do we seat ourselves?
• 2:43
  Do they check us in?
• 2:44
  Where's the restaurant?
• 2:44
  Like stupid stuff that doesn't mean anything.
• 2:47
  Yeah.
• 2:47
  So I can completely relate to just some anxious feelings and I'm very much the same way about meeting new people.
• 2:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 2:54
  I mean, once I know you like, i'm wide open but yes.
• 2:59
  Having to break the ice and like get over that.
• 3:03
  Yeah.
• 3:03
  First hurdle of like, Oh my gosh.
• 3:06
  Right.
• 3:06
  You know, you go back to middle school feelings, you know, it's weird.
• 3:09
  Like, I, I was not like that for so long and then like I reverted back to middle school.
• 3:13
  It's Yeah.
• 3:14
  Yeah.
• 3:15
  I, I was never like, I mean, I was friendly enough, but I was never like the social butterfly.
• 3:20
  I mean, I had friends, but you know, I wasn't the one to just go up and talk to anybody.
• 3:23
  Yeah.
• 3:23
  Um, and then when my career started in ophthalmology and I was like going inpatient exam rooms and introducing myself all the time, I think I kind of got over that a little bit.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  You knew that.
• 3:34
  Yeah.
• 3:35
  I was an, um, a c a certified ophthalm assistant, so yeah.
• 3:40
  Awesome.
• 3:40
  So I did that for a long time, um, like 15 years I think.
• 3:45
  Yeah.
• 3:46
  So learning news, eyeballs, I knows what it's all about.
• 3:49
  Right.
• 3:50
  Um, but I think because of that, I kind of had to get over that and just deal with it.
• 3:54
  but I do have news on, you know, we've talked before about making new friends.
• 3:57
  Yeah.
• 3:58
  So I do have news on the friend front.
• 4:00
  Oh.
• 4:01
  And I'm sad.
• 4:01
  Why?
• 4:02
  Well, because so Jackson and his girlfriend broke up.
• 4:05
  Who broke up with who?
• 4:06
  Uh, she broke up with him.
• 4:10
  Aww.
• 4:10
  I know, I know.
• 4:11
  And and he's okay now.
• 4:12
  I mean, he was a little sad.
• 4:14
  Yeah, of course.
• 4:14
  But um, but I think they're both okay.
• 4:16
  Um, they're still friends.
• 4:18
  But I'm like, in my head I'm like, well, this messes up my friend vibe.
• 4:22
  What the Yeah.
• 4:22
  And you said that?
• 4:24
  I did.
• 4:24
  You're not gonna last I did.
• 4:26
  No.
• 4:26
  So I actually was texting her this weekend about some other things, um, and she was like, girl, we're still gonna go see the Little Mermaid together.
• 4:33
  Right.
• 4:34
  Cuz I had wanted to go see that.
• 4:35
  And I was like, yeah, if you think it's okay.
• 4:39
  So yeah, you're still friends.
• 4:41
  We're still friends.
• 4:42
  It's just different.
• 4:42
  I know.
• 4:43
  It's awkward.
• 4:43
  It's just different.
• 4:44
  Yeah.
• 4:45
  Um, and you know, with teenagers and, and whatever, it's like, there's like eight stories going around and of course the story Jackson's gonna tell me is gonna be the one that makes him look the best.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  Right.
• 4:55
  Yeah.
• 4:56
  So trying to get to the bottom of all that and make sure, I mean, I had kid drama, man.
• 5:01
  I know.
• 5:01
  I don't miss that.
• 5:02
  No.
• 5:04
  But I think he's looking forward to this summer cause, you know, they really start intense football workouts in a couple weeks and, um, he's looking forward to just really committing there and, you know, that's gonna take up so much time and energy.
• 5:15
  Yeah.
• 5:15
  So I think he's looking forward to being able to focus on that.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:18
  And work through that.
• 5:19
  So, yeah.
• 5:20
  Oh gosh.
• 5:21
  I, I know.
• 5:22
  I know.
• 5:22
  Oh, that's so sad.
• 5:24
  I know.
• 5:24
  Is Deli still with his?
• 5:25
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:26
  Go for it.
• 5:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:26
  Okay.
• 5:26
  Yeah.
• 5:26
  Um, so they went, okay, so here's my like gripe.
• 5:29
  Okay.
• 5:30
  So, you know, there's a couple of shows that Dylan and I have watched together mm-hmm.
• 5:34
  For years.
• 5:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:34
  And movies that we have always gone to see together.
• 5:38
  Sure.
• 5:39
  And so when Outer Banks, the new season came out, he went over there and like, he was over there like all day or whatever, and they watched like the whole season of Outer Banks and he came home and he was like, oh mom.
• 5:50
  It was like pretty good.
• 5:50
  And I was like, you did what?
• 5:52
  Rude right.
• 5:54
  Okay.
• 5:54
  So then Marvel movies, like Marvel movies, we have watched every, I feel like I know that about y'all.
• 5:59
  That's always been y'all's thing.
• 6:01
  Are you, since he was.
• 6:03
  Tiny three.
• 6:04
  Yeah.
• 6:05
  So he, the time he can say Iron Man.
• 6:07
  Right.
• 6:08
  More like, so he was like, I'm gonna go to the movies of Riley.
• 6:12
  This was this week, past weekend.
• 6:14
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:14
  And I was like, well, what are you gonna go see?
• 6:15
  He said, guardians of a Galaxy Three.
• 6:17
  And I was like, you're going, you doing what?
• 6:19
  Huh?
• 6:20
  I was like, it's y'all, y'all.
• 6:22
  This needs to end.
• 6:23
  Oh, he's taken my spot and like our special stuff.
• 6:28
  So my feelings got, wow.
• 6:29
  That's a little glimpse into the future, isn't it?
• 6:31
  Yeah.
• 6:32
  Oh, that stinks.
• 6:33
  I was in my feelings a little bit.
• 6:34
  I get it.
• 6:35
  I totally get it.
• 6:36
  But then last night it was like nine 30 and he's like, mom, you wanna watch a movie?
• 6:39
  And I was like, yes.
• 6:42
  Yes, we do.
• 6:43
  We did.
• 6:43
  What'd you watch?
• 6:44
  We watched Avengers Endgame, I think.
• 6:47
  we watched that, but.
• 6:48
  He fell asleep at like, at midnight and you know, it's like a three hour move.
• 6:52
  What I was gonna say, I was like, well, I'm going, let's just go to bed.
• 6:55
  We'll finish it tomorrow.
• 6:56
  Yeah.
• 6:56
  Yeah.
• 6:57
  We've been watching basketball playoffs.
• 6:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:59
  That's where Jackson's mind has been.
• 7:01
  And of course Brian has certain teams he's rooting against cuz he, we are, we are one of those families, we go by player.
• 7:08
  Like we're not really big on specific teams, but we kind of follow player.
• 7:12
  So Brian is rooting against some people.
• 7:14
  Not gonna throw names out there, but anyway.
• 7:17
  I mean, come on.
• 7:18
  No, it's, it's just us.
• 7:19
  It's not like we have a big impact on whatever, but Well, I mean our platform is growing.
• 7:25
  It's growing.
• 7:26
  It is growing.
• 7:27
  Like Case may have more influence than Yes.
• 7:30
  Yes.
• 7:30
  That's very true.
• 7:31
  And I guess when I said we don't have much influence, I met Brian and Jackson don't with great power comes great responsibility.
• 7:39
  Very true.
• 7:40
  Very true.
• 7:41
  In the words of Marvel Spider-Man.
• 7:43
  Very true.
• 7:44
  Hey, did you see the, Picture I posted on Facebook the other day of the Fox.
• 7:48
  Yes.
• 7:49
  Wasn't that crazy?
• 7:50
  And I see him like every morning.
• 7:52
  Really?
• 7:52
  And he's right at the same spot.
• 7:54
  He looks like the fox in the hound.
• 7:55
  He is.
• 7:56
  So, he's so, and he's so pretty.
• 7:58
  He is so pretty.
• 7:59
  Like he's very bright.
• 8:00
  The picture didn't do it justice.
• 8:02
  Um, but, so I'll let my dogs out and I'm right there with them and he'll just sit there and, cause I was like, well, rabies, whatever, he'll just sit there and like watch, like he has no desire to interact with them.
• 8:14
  He's not, doesn't seem aggressive.
• 8:15
  Yes.
• 8:16
  Cause whatever.
• 8:16
  So Jackson and I were talking, I was like, let's go find his, the fox den.
• 8:21
  So we go walking in the woods and I was like, okay, this is not the another bad parenting moment.
• 8:27
  So we, we backtracked and we kept talking.
• 8:30
  I was like, well, what if we.
• 8:32
  Find did find a fox then, and there was baby foxes in there.
• 8:36
  He was like, oh, that'd be so sweet.
• 8:38
  I said, would you hold one?
• 8:39
  And he was like, well, no, I don't want to get an s.
• 8:43
  I said, are you gonna see an S T d?
• 8:45
  I was like, that's not how that works.
• 8:47
  He said, I meant rabies.
• 8:51
  And I was like, oh my gosh.
• 8:54
  I know, I know.
• 8:57
  I was like, that is not how that works.
• 8:59
  And I said, you know, I'm gonna tell that story on the podcast.
• 9:01
  He was like, don't.
• 9:01
  I was like, sorry, we, yeah, we're right up here.
• 9:05
  Yeah, absolutely.
• 9:06
  Oh my gosh, that's been funny.
• 9:09
  We had a, Whole, like slew, like a whole circus of squirrels out in the backyard.
• 9:14
  There had been like 15 of'em.
• 9:16
  Cuz one of our huge trees in the back, there's, yeah, tons and tons of acorns come down and like there was like 15 squirrels just sitting there eating.
• 9:24
  And I'm like, Rex, go scare the squirrels away.
• 9:26
  And he just looked at me like, right.
• 9:27
  He had no interest.
• 9:29
  I'm good.
• 9:29
  Like I'm inside.
• 9:30
  I have spent enough time with my life outside.
• 9:33
  I am chilling.
• 9:34
  He said he got up out of the streets and he was fine.
• 9:37
  Yeah.
• 9:37
  He said no more outside.
• 9:39
  So, um, I went out there and as soon as I opened up the door, they were all scattered.
• 9:43
  Yeah.
• 9:43
  But, like people lived in our house before we moved in.
• 9:46
  Uhhuh, um, used to feed the squirrels, they would feed them peanuts, like hand feed them.
• 9:51
  So when we moved in, all these squirrels were like super close and we're like, what the heck is going on like this?
• 9:56
  Right?
• 9:56
  And so, um, Brandon had asked the guy and the guy was like, oh yeah, we used to feed the squirrels like.
• 10:03
  So Brandon thinking that it's funny, buys a bag of peanuts, like with the shells on.
• 10:07
  Yeah.
• 10:08
  They're all like, oh, this is great.
• 10:09
  Yeah.
• 10:09
  This, the squirrels are up close and I'm like, oh, this is gross.
• 10:12
  They're tree rats.
• 10:14
  I know.
• 10:16
  We're gonna get banned from like the, with the, as I know or whatever, throwing alligators, let's go by to them.
• 10:20
  But, um, yeah.
• 10:21
  So I'm like, ew, this is gross.
• 10:23
  Let's not do this.
• 10:24
  Right, right, right.
• 10:24
  So we run out of peanuts, we would turn on the kitchen light and there'd be squirrels at the sliding glass door, like looking in our stop that like, like they like chewed on like the plastic of the door.
• 10:34
  They like put holes in our screens.
• 10:37
  I'm like, no, these.
• 10:38
  So then I started letting Moe chase him.
• 10:40
  Yeah.
• 10:40
  Cause Moe was like, I'm gonna get one of these squirrels one day.
• 10:43
  Did he ever catch one?
• 10:44
  No, but I have a picture the squirrel was looking into the door and Moe was looking at the squirrel.
• 10:48
  Like, they were like, no, they were just ready.
• 10:49
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:50
  Yeah.
• 10:50
  That's so funny.
• 10:51
  I do follow this guy on TikTok who has like, kinda like that, like two squirrels.
• 10:57
  Yeah.
• 10:58
  And he's named them and one of them had babies and he is like, Maxine, bring me your babies.
• 11:02
  I mean, it's, it's pretty cute.
• 11:04
  But anyway, maxi Maxine, and I can't remember all the other one's names, but I want it to be Alvin, like of course.
• 11:10
  And the Theo Warren and Simon.
• 11:12
  But you're right.
• 11:12
  Tree rats.
• 11:13
  Yeah.
• 11:14
  Do no thank you.
• 11:15
  No, like I don't do any kind of like rode it.
• 11:19
  I just like dogs.
• 11:20
  I like dogs.
• 11:21
  I like cats.
• 11:22
  I feel like alligators.
• 11:23
  I like alligators.
• 11:24
  Alligators.
• 11:25
  How about the alligator that does tricks for marshmallows that I tagged you in?
• 11:28
  Oh my gosh.
• 11:29
  Is that not crazy?
• 11:31
  I feel like I need to do that.
• 11:33
  I think that yeah, that should be a bucket list.
• 11:35
  Well, I started thinking about that and I was like, I need to, I need to do this.
• 11:40
  And I was like, I need a pet alligator.
• 11:42
  And I was like, wait, wait, wait.
• 11:43
  What am I doing?
• 11:43
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 11:44
  Let's not do that.
• 11:45
  Who would've thought marshmallows?
• 11:46
  Marshmallows.
• 11:47
  I don't know.
• 11:48
  Really weird.
• 11:49
  So how do you think that this started with the alligator and the marshmallow?
• 11:53
  I would assume it was started stealing from my campgrounds?
• 11:58
  You know, I did not think about that, but you're right.
• 12:01
  Like what made them think?
• 12:03
  You know, they, they're, they're carnivores.
• 12:05
  Let's try a marshmallow.
• 12:06
  What I'm picturing is, okay, is cuz one, I don't camp so like Right.
• 12:10
  You know, like I'm not a camper uhhuh, but I am picturing a alligator, like creeping up into a campsite and I'd be like throwing like, whatever you could find and be marshmallows.
• 12:20
  And the little thing would be like, Ooh, these are good.
• 12:21
  Oh, these are good.
• 12:22
  Let's go with that.
• 12:23
  My thought was, it's not the teeny tiny ones.
• 12:26
  No.
• 12:26
  They look like the big giant one.
• 12:27
  The big jumbo ones.
• 12:29
  Yeah.
• 12:29
  Yeah.
• 12:29
  Like, yeah.
• 12:31
  I don't know.
• 12:31
  Like I, I'm just like wondering how did it start really?
• 12:34
  And did they try other things before they did the marshmallow?
• 12:38
  I, maybe the, I mean he just started twirling, you know what it is?
• 12:41
  It's probably the sugar rush.
• 12:43
  Yeah.
• 12:43
  And like it starts to, and that will stay on a whatever to get to the stick.
• 12:50
  Like a pop-tart wall.
• 12:50
  Yeah, yeah.
• 12:51
  Yeah.
• 12:51
  That's true.
• 12:53
  They needed something that would stay on a hook or whatever they did, or, yeah.
• 12:56
  It looked like at the end of a stick.
• 12:58
  Yeah.
• 12:58
  But, when I first saw it, I'm picturing a Disney movie where like it's spinning on its tail.
• 13:03
  You had all kinds of thoughts about this, didn't you?
• 13:05
  I loved this story.
• 13:06
  I was like, this it funny.
• 13:07
  This was awesome.
• 13:08
  This Snow white, like esk, snow White, some redneck snow white, snow white meets, little Mermaid meets, um, honey booboo.
• 13:19
  Yeah.
• 13:21
  That's okay.
• 13:22
  So that was my fun story for the week.
• 13:24
  I like it.
• 13:24
  That I found on Facebook.
• 13:25
  I'm glad you, I'm glad you tagged me in that.
• 13:27
  Um, but now, ever since we started talking about alligators, I see alligators on Facebook all the time.
• 13:32
  It's cause we're being watched.
• 13:33
  I know it.
• 13:34
  They listen.
• 13:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 13:35
  And so our iPad, we have one iPad, uh, well we have two, but one's Jackson's, one's mine and Brian's.
• 13:40
  And it's hooked up to my Facebook feed and Brian will go and look at it and I don't care.
• 13:45
  Yeah.
• 13:45
  Um, and he's like, it's nothing but like puppies and dog.
• 13:49
  I was like, exactly.
• 13:50
  He's like gardening tips or whatever.
• 13:52
  Yeah.
• 13:52
  I like to work in the art and garden.
• 13:54
  Oh.
• 13:54
  I don't Oh, do you not?
• 13:55
  Cause there's like weird stuff out there.
• 13:57
  Well, yeah, but I enjoy like the pretty flowers and plants and stuff.
• 14:00
  Um, I am not like a, a plant flower person.
• 14:05
  You're not.
• 14:06
  I could care less, like if there's like landscaping.
• 14:09
  Really?
• 14:09
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  It's just not my thing.
• 14:11
  I get it.
• 14:12
  I get it.
• 14:12
  Yeah.
• 14:12
  We like, unless it's like food involved, like if it's like a food garden, like I out Yeah.
• 14:16
  That's cool.
• 14:17
  That's good too.
• 14:17
  That's good too.
• 14:18
  So this weekend in Clover, they're um, they do twice a year a free plant exchange.
• 14:25
  So you go and you take whatever you have that you wanna divide and, and switch it and whatever.
• 14:30
  And it's, it's really a lot of fun.
• 14:32
  I've been going for a few years.
• 14:33
  It's fun for me because I like that kind of stuff.
• 14:35
  Yeah, you would hate it.
• 14:36
  Yeah, well I drug Brian with me this time and he just sat there and it was so funny cuz he was like, these people get feisty about like switching the plants because, okay, you're ready for me to explain how it works?
• 14:49
  Yeah.
• 14:49
  So you take your plants, everything's set up.
• 14:52
  Like everybody who brings this type of plant, all those plants are like grouped together.
• 14:56
  So there's one person in charge and she blows the whistle and when she blows the whistle the first time you go get one plant.
• 15:03
  And then you're supposed to hide it.
• 15:04
  So like nobody else takes your plant.
• 15:06
  Are you serious?
• 15:06
  I'm very serious.
• 15:08
  Everybody comes back to the middle, she blows it again, and you get two plants, so then you can go and pick two more.
• 15:13
  So you keep going until you're out, like, yeah, we went to like six or seven plants.
• 15:16
  So I mean, I came home with way more plants than I took.
• 15:19
  Um, so if you like to garden and like to work in the yard, and I mean, it can get expensive when you, so, I mean, it's fun, but Brown was like, oh my gosh, these people are moving to get, cause you can imagine they're not a lot of young whipper snappers.
• 15:32
  Yeah, it's um, yeah.
• 15:33
  So he is like, they are hustling.
• 15:36
  He was like, and then they're hiding it and they want me to hide it.
• 15:38
  And I'm like, oh my gosh.
• 15:40
  He was hiding planes from No, he was, I hid mine over there by him.
• 15:43
  I was like, baby, I'm just gonna put these here so I'm not, you know, whatever.
• 15:46
  And somebody else was like, oh, can I put mine there too?
• 15:48
  And I was like, It's my hiding spot, girl.
• 15:50
  I'm, take them.
• 15:51
  Sure you can.
• 15:52
  No problem.
• 15:54
  Wink, wink.
• 15:54
  Right.
• 15:55
  Exactly.
• 15:55
  So that was our big excitement this weekend was a plain experience to have a big garden outside, like along our fence.
• 16:01
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:01
  Like it was all vegetables.
• 16:02
  Yeah.
• 16:03
  Um, and we had the one, like, it was like maybe our second or third year here, and like, we had zucchini that were like huge.
• 16:09
  Like, they were like the size of like a small child.
• 16:11
  Wow.
• 16:12
  They were huge.
• 16:13
  I mean like, no joke.
• 16:14
  They were, had been like that big.
• 16:15
  That is cool.
• 16:15
  Crazy big around and huge.
• 16:18
  Like huge.
• 16:19
  Um, and we had, I mean like it would just, tomatoes came in like crazy and then we had, we planted like jalapenos.
• 16:25
  Yeah.
• 16:25
  And they were the hottest really.
• 16:29
  Freaking peppers in the world.
• 16:31
  I mean, like, we, we couldn't even like use like a whole one in salsa.
• 16:34
  Like it was so hot.
• 16:36
  Oh.
• 16:37
  All the seeds out.
• 16:37
  Like it was funny and as hot.
• 16:39
  Wow.
• 16:40
  Um, and then we just got really lazy and we didn't do it again.
• 16:44
  I mean, like, we did it for a couple years, but now it's just all berry plants down the Yeah.
• 16:47
  Hole.
• 16:48
  There's like raspberry and blackberry.
• 16:50
  Do you pick them?
• 16:51
  Um, Dylan and Brandon, just, I'm not a big raspberry fan.
• 16:53
  I love blackberries.
• 16:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:54
  But like, there's only like a small section of blackberries.
• 16:56
  Like, that's like a huge majority of the plants we have is it's cool that you've got something going on there.
• 17:01
  Yeah.
• 17:02
  I've got like two little tomato plants and some potatoes.
• 17:05
  I'm not doing well this year either, but I mean, it's, it's the effort.
• 17:08
  Yeah.
• 17:09
  I'm trying, I spent too many, too much time reading lately.
• 17:12
  Did did you read our, um, I See You by Claire McIntosh?
• 17:15
  I did.
• 17:16
  I listened slow only because I have the, Alexa app that will Yeah.
• 17:20
  I did the same thing.
• 17:21
  Okay.
• 17:21
  I kind of don't pay as much attention mm-hmm.
• 17:24
  Because it's, there's no infliction.
• 17:25
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  It's very, yeah.
• 17:26
  Monitoring.
• 17:27
  Then there's like a minute of like, silence, right?
• 17:29
  Yeah.
• 17:29
  I, I would look at my phone, like, did I disconnect it or did somebody text me?
• 17:33
  Yeah.
• 17:33
  I listened to part of it and I read part of it.
• 17:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 17:35
  Do the synopsis part.
• 17:36
  Okay.
• 17:36
  Um, so I see you by Clara McIntosh every morning and evening.
• 17:40
  Zoe Walker takes the same route to the train station.
• 17:43
  Waits at a certain place on the platform, finds her favorite spot in the car, never suspecting that someone is watching her.
• 17:48
  It all starts with a classified ad.
• 17:50
  During her commute home on one night, while glancing through her local paper, Zoe sees her own face, staring back at her a grainy photo, along with a phone number and a listing for a website called Find the one.com.
• 18:02
  Other women begin appearing in the same ad, a different one every day, and Zoe realizes they've become victims of increasingly violent crimes, including murder.
• 18:10
  With the help of a determined cop, she uncovers the ads twisted purpose, a discovery that turns her paranoia into a full-blown panic.
• 18:16
  Zoe is sure that someone close to her has set her up to be the next target.
• 18:22
  And now that man on the train, the one smiling at Zoe from across the car, can be more than just a friendly stranger.
• 18:27
  He could be someone who deliberately chosen her and is ready to make his next move.
• 18:33
  What did you think?
• 18:34
  There was a lot, there was a lot of little subplots going on.
• 18:38
  Yeah.
• 18:39
  So I did not, I thought that this book was the book we're reading next.
• 18:44
  Oh.
• 18:44
  So I kept expecting that plot to kind of come in and I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 18:50
  Yeah.
• 18:50
  So I was a little confused at first.
• 18:52
  Yeah.
• 18:52
  But I thought it was good.
• 18:54
  I really liked a lot of the little, um, like I said, the different subplots and the different characters that weren't major characters really, but like the busker.
• 19:02
  Yeah.
• 19:03
  Like the way, and I like what she said.
• 19:05
  She was like, um, okay, so this is not a spoiler, but there's this, this busker who's out, like playing her, it was a guitar, right?
• 19:10
  Mm-hmm.
• 19:11
  And then she gives her like a couple coins every day, and somebody was like, well, I just, you don't give her a lot all at once.
• 19:18
  So she's like, well, it's better to give a little kindness every day.
• 19:20
  Yeah.
• 19:21
  I like that statement.
• 19:22
  Yeah.
• 19:22
  It was.
• 19:23
  Not easy for me to figure it out.
• 19:24
  How about you?
• 19:25
  No.
• 19:25
  Okay.
• 19:26
  I was like, okay.
• 19:27
  No, totally threw me off.
• 19:28
  Yeah, me too.
• 19:29
  And you know, we liked those, getting the books.
• 19:31
  No, I love when I'm like, when I can't figure it out, because you know, they introduce a couple of people and you're like, oh, this is them, this is them.
• 19:38
  And then some things happen and you're like, oh, for sure I got it.
• 19:41
  I don't even need to read the rests.
• 19:42
  And then all of a sudden, um, so that was cool.
• 19:45
  Yeah, that was cool.
• 19:46
  Yeah.
• 19:46
  What did you think?
• 19:47
  Okay.
• 19:48
  I, I, I loved it.
• 19:49
  Like, I loved the book.
• 19:50
  Yeah.
• 19:50
  I thought it was great.
• 19:51
  Yeah.
• 19:51
  Um, there was so many twists in it.
• 19:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 19:55
  And like you said, there's so many, subplots.
• 19:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 19:57
  So it freaked me out because this stuff probably really does happen, like never in some sense.
• 20:01
  Yeah.
• 20:02
  Like there has to be some kind of like semblance of this going on.
• 20:06
  And also, I mean, the thought came from somewhere, right?
• 20:08
  Yeah.
• 20:08
  I thought it was written really well.
• 20:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:10
  I think that now I'm like freaked out, like I know.
• 20:14
  Have nothing to worry about.
• 20:15
  I never leave my house.
• 20:16
  Oh my God.
• 20:17
  Unless they're following me to Walmart or like Food Lion, like I've got no worries.
• 20:20
  But you're, but you're right.
• 20:21
  It does make you, and you know, they, there's several situations in there where they talk about like that hair on the back of your neck Yeah.
• 20:26
  Standing up and, and I mean, we all know that feeling.
• 20:29
  Yeah.
• 20:30
  Yeah.
• 20:30
  Um, so yeah, I agree.
• 20:32
  And I, I love that she didn't let everybody talk her out of like, it's all in her head.
• 20:36
  Right.
• 20:37
  She stayed with it, she knew something was going on mm-hmm.
• 20:39
  And she stayed with it.
• 20:41
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:41
  So good for her.
• 20:42
  Yeah.
• 20:43
  One.
• 20:43
  Totally.
• 20:44
  Um, cuz I do feel like as women, we get, um, kind of like downplayed.
• 20:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:49
  Like waking like, oh, you're, you know, crazy women.
• 20:51
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:51
  Whatever.
• 20:51
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:51
  And I think that her sticking with like, she knew something was gonna, she was not putting that up and good for her.
• 20:58
  Yeah.
• 20:59
  Um, I also love that she nailed the teenagers around kids.
• 21:03
  Yes.
• 21:03
  Yes.
• 21:03
  Like their attitudes or like, you know, like the, like they hate you one minute, they love you the next, not that like, I get that much from mm-hmm.
• 21:10
  From Dylan, but as you know, like my poor mom had four of us and Yeah.
• 21:15
  All within six years.
• 21:16
  And so I am sure we gave her a lot of that at some point.
• 21:20
  And you know, parents don't know anything type of stuff.
• 21:23
  Right.
• 21:23
  I, it was, the characters were so relatable.
• 21:25
  Right.
• 21:26
  And especially there was one part where the daughter was doing something and the son was like, she doesn't want me there anyway.
• 21:31
  I'm not going.
• 21:32
  And I was like, oh, that hits home.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:34
  Yeah.
• 21:34
  So, I think she, she did the characters really well.
• 21:37
  Mm-hmm.
• 21:37
  I, again, I love the book.
• 21:39
  I, I did not guess the ending.
• 21:42
  Right.
• 21:42
  another one of those.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:44
  So I would give it nine outta 10.
• 21:47
  I would too.
• 21:47
  Yeah.
• 21:48
  I would too.
• 21:48
  With all the stuff going on.
• 21:50
  You know, we've talked before about how the last, like 20% of the book is what's so exciting.
• 21:53
  But with all the other little things going on, it did keep my interest.
• 21:57
  Yeah.
• 21:57
  Without taking away from the main story.
• 21:59
  Yes.
• 21:59
  Um, what'd you think about Kelly?
• 22:02
  The detective?
• 22:03
  that threw me off too.
• 22:05
  Yeah, me too.
• 22:06
  It was interesting for me because I was like, I wonder if I would have been reprimanded for the same thing that she was recommended for.
• 22:16
  I, I have, I have no doubt.
• 22:17
  Yeah.
• 22:17
  I would have, like, I, I, I am not in that role for a reason.
• 22:21
  Right.
• 22:21
  And that's what, like I said, I'd like to be a private eye.
• 22:23
  I would not be a good detective.
• 22:24
  Yeah.
• 22:24
  Because I have no hands on.
• 22:26
  No.
• 22:27
  Um, I would, I would definitely, uh, a light.
• 22:30
  Yeah, definitely on the other side of the bars, but, but the same thing too.
• 22:35
  Wait, was she the one who her Um, I might be getting my people mixed up.
• 22:39
  Or she was trying to pursue it and her boss was like, no.
• 22:42
  Yes.
• 22:43
  So, I mean, good for her for still trying to Yes.
• 22:45
  You know, do what she could to help the sub lady.
• 22:47
  Um, well, and I think, they were telling her no, cuz she got demoted.
• 22:50
  Right.
• 22:50
  Um, and so it wasn't her position mm-hmm.
• 22:53
  To pursue that.
• 22:53
  But she, yeah, she felt the same way.
• 22:55
  Um, And then, you know, the whole like other storyline with her twin sister.
• 22:59
  Exactly.
• 23:00
  This book was written so well.
• 23:02
  I agree.
• 23:02
  Um, and there was a lot without it being messy.
• 23:04
  Yeah, yeah.
• 23:05
  So it was so easy to follow.
• 23:07
  And if y'all have not read this book, definitely I would recommend it.
• 23:11
  Um, yeah, I would too.
• 23:12
  It was pretty good.
• 23:12
  You mentioned reading it through Alexa or having her read it to you?
• 23:16
  I, I did the same.
• 23:17
  I just like we talked about Don't recommend that.
• 23:20
  Cause it's hard.
• 23:20
  There's no infliction.
• 23:22
  Yeah.
• 23:22
  There's no tone change.
• 23:23
  It's very monotone.
• 23:24
  but still a very good book, even though I did listen to it that way cause it wasn't available.
• 23:28
  Any of our free apps that we like to use.
• 23:30
  Yes, yes.
• 23:30
  And I, I don't like paying for No, no.
• 23:33
  Well, especially, I mean, gosh, they're so expensive.
• 23:35
  I know.
• 23:35
  So anyway, I, I'll probably give it a, a nine out of 10 as well.
• 23:38
  I liked that one.
• 23:39
  I'd never read anything about her, so I was, glad to find her.
• 23:42
  Neither did I.
• 23:43
  Mm-hmm.
• 23:43
  And like, I had the book on my shelf, you know, I, I had five books, like all the time and, you know, finding the time to actually read it.
• 23:49
  Yeah.
• 23:50
  Um, so I'm glad that we're doing this.
• 23:51
  I know.
• 23:52
  I was thinking the same thing.
• 23:53
  This is kind of forcing me to, to take the time to Yeah.
• 23:55
  Forcing me, but it, I mean, my alarm.
• 23:58
  Yeah.
• 23:58
  Yeah.
• 23:59
  but I think, you know, definitely recommended 100%.
• 24:02
  Yeah.
• 24:02
  Agreed.
• 24:02
  Agreed.
• 24:03
  Um so next is Rock paper Scissors.
• 24:06
  Yes.
• 24:06
  And it's by Alice Feeney.
• 24:07
  Yes.
• 24:08
  And it is on the, Different apps, apps, you can listen.
• 24:13
  Good for the library.

• 24:15
  Cause that's what I'm listening to right now.

  And also our book list is on our socials.
• 24:23

  I was just listening.
• 24:27
  Oh, you always make me nervous when you just sit there and listen.
• 24:31
  You are listening instantly.
• 24:32
  Um, our book list that we're gonna read over the next few weeks is on our socials.
• 24:36

• 24:39
  So y'all, if you have any books that you guys want us to review Yes.
• 24:43
  We are totally open to adding something that you guys wanna hear as well.

• 24:52
  From people so you know, how you find new authors you like and all that kind of stuff.
• 24:56
  Yeah.
• 24:56
  Yeah.
• 24:56
  Cuz again, I've never read anything by, Claire McIntosh.
• 24:59
  And yeah, that was.
• 25:00
  Phenomen.
• 25:01
  Yeah, she was good.
• 25:02
  She was good.
• 25:02
  I agree.
• 25:03
  I liked her a lot.
• 25:03
  Oh, so rock, paper, scissors is next.
• 25:05
  Yeah.
• 25:05
  I'm excited about this one.
• 25:07
  Yeah, it's, it's, it sounds like nothing else I've ever read.
• 25:11
  That's why I'm excited about it.
• 25:12
  Yeah.
• 25:13
  Okay.
• 25:16
  rock, paper, scissors, I just started listening to it.
• 25:17
  It's, it's, it's definitely different.
• 25:20
  Okay.
• 25:21
  I think you're gonna like it.
• 25:22
  Good.
• 25:23
  I'm glad we both liked this week's, cause for the past few weeks we've gone back and forth, so it's nice when we both kind of like it.
• 25:29
  Yeah.
• 25:29
  On the same page with it.

  So, um, there were some, some outbound link clicks and saves and whatever.

  That's a lot of fun.
• 28:06
  Yeah.
• 28:06
  This is such a good outlet for me.
• 28:08
  But then when somebody gives us a thumbs down, I'm like, what the heck, man, if you don't like it, just keep scrolling.
• 28:13
  There's no need for you to bring that negativity here.
• 28:17
  You haven't got nothing Nice to say.
• 28:18
  Keep your thumb to yourself.
• 28:21
  I like that.

• 28:26
  Um, cool.
• 28:27
  Yes, I've got, I've got a whole list of like, uh, stupid stuff we have said, great.
• 28:31
  I'm, I'm sure, yeah.
• 28:32
  I I, I've got a list going on.
• 28:35
  There's not enough memory or whatever in the world to have a list of all of our stuff.
• 28:41
  Oh, it'll be good.
• 28:43
  Like, yeah, it'll be, it'll be something.
• 28:46
  We'll have a, a picture, it'll be something, a picture of an alligator and a marshmallow.
• 28:51
  That is so funny.
• 28:52
  Um, yeah, I told you about my friend Alicia, who has the reptile rescue.
• 28:55
  I think we talked about Alicia all the time.
• 28:56
  So she, hi Alicia.
• 28:58
  Just, Hey girl.
• 28:59
  Um, she just posted the, they rescued a boa constrictor from like somebody that out in the wild because it got too big.
• 29:08
  Oh my gosh.
• 29:09
  I guess it was in like bad shape, but like just letting it out and like in Pennsylvania, like you're not in like Right.
• 29:15
  A tropical place like it's Pennsylvania, right.
• 29:18
  It's a mountains like.
• 29:19
  It's not warm.
• 29:21
  Yeah.
• 29:22
  So not that I like snakes, but then I feel bad because it's, you know, like a, it's like, well, if you like, but Right.
• 29:27
  Exactly.
• 29:27
  They don't know how to catch their food and spend time themselves.
• 29:30
  It's like, that's sad.
• 29:31
  That is sad.
• 29:32
  Even though I don't do snakes, I, I would rather not, but I don't wanna see something, you know, not survive cause of that.
• 29:38
  But, and I, I mean, okay, let me back up.
• 29:40
  Who doesn't know a bulk constrictors get big.
• 29:42
  Yeah, I know.
• 29:44
  But like, we've got these dumb people, like the people that have alligators as pets, and when they get you big, they release them.
• 29:49
  Like, when I just said, I thought about getting an alligator as a pet.
• 29:52
  Um, but No, you're right.
• 29:53
  No, they don't.
• 29:54
  It doesn't make sense.
• 29:55
  Yeah.
• 29:55
  Like, it's like, I get mad when like people decide, like their dogs get too big.
• 29:59
  Like, you know, like Yeah.
• 30:00
  And they're like, Furry and nice and sweet and like it's sweet.
• 30:04
  Um, so not that I would ever start with a, a snake, right.
• 30:08
  But yeah, they start out small, but those things are gonna be like, I don't know why that's a newsflash to people.
• 30:13
  Huge.
• 30:14
  Uhhuh huge.
• 30:15
  I know.
• 30:15
  It's crazy.

  So, well is the, is it gonna be okay?
• 30:19
  Yeah, she's, she's doing the rehab now, like, you know, and of course like that's expensive.
• 30:23
  Um, I can't imagine.
• 30:24
  So that's weird.
• 30:25
  Like, okay, so a dog's limping, you know, there's something wrong with one their paws.
• 30:28
  Yeah.
• 30:29
  And I guess there's snakeoligists, I dunno what they're called, but people that know specifically if a snake acts a certain way, then it's got this going on with it.
• 30:41
  Yeah.
• 30:41
  I don't know what they're called.
• 30:42
  If there's any psychologist, listen, Alicia, what's it called?
• 30:49
  Um, but she, I mean, she has so many different, She's got like this giant lizard thing.
• 30:54
  It's like, I don't know what kind of lizard it is.

  So we started a, pet, directory.
• 31:51
  Yeah.
• 31:51
  On our H hoa Facebook.

  So that if you see a dog, you could hopefully easily find its owner, like find out where it belongs.
• 31:58
  Um, Rex likes long walks at night.
• 32:02
  No.
• 32:02
  He likes to just lay in bed inside.

  He does, but he likes, oh, a little.
• 32:06
  He likes to walk twice a day.
• 32:07
  And that's it.
• 32:07
  And that's it.
• 32:08
  Okay.

  Like, they don't, it's just like squishing.
• 32:23
  They don't, it's like not comfortable and they're hard to keep clean.

  Oh, he's quite happy now, but Good.
• 33:42
  I was like, well, I'll make my own love set.
• 33:44
  Yeah.
• 33:44
  Does he, um, sleep spread out like that?
• 33:47
  Or does he ever get like in a little ball?
• 33:48
  He's.
• 33:49
  Sleep normally.
• 33:50
  Like that's how he'll sleep.
• 33:51
  He'll start in a ball and then he like stretches.
• 33:53
  Yeah.
• 33:54
  But right before bed, like we cuddle for like 10, 15 minutes, I play on the floor with him and like, you know, rub his belly and we cuddle.
• 34:01
  Um, when I'm going upstairs, I'm like, are you ready to go cuddle Ricks?
• 34:03
  And like, he like, runs to the stairs.
• 34:05
  Of course he does.
• 34:06
  So, he starts out in a ball, like while I'm getting ready for bed.
• 34:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 34:09
  And then when I lay with him, he like sprawls out and Aw.
• 34:13
  Gets ready for the lovens.
• 34:14
  One of our dogs likes to always have like her nose hidden, so she'll get in a ball and like hide her nose or like she'll find a blanket and like nudge under the blanket.
• 34:22
  The other two are like on their back legs.
• 34:24
  Wets, you know, widespread open and.
• 34:27
  But she's a lady.
• 34:28
  So do any of your dogs snore?
• 34:32
  Oh yeah.
• 34:33
  Oh my God.
• 34:34
  He is like a freight train when he gets going.
• 34:36
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  And so my office, I work from home too, and my office is kind of like yours where the dog bed is right next.
• 34:41
  And I'll be in a call and he'll snore.
• 34:44
  And I'm like, I'm sorry, y'all, if y'all can hear that, that is mine.
• 34:46
  But with them being like flat face dogs, um, they snore a lot.
• 34:51
  You have boxers?
• 34:51
  Well, we have two boxers.
• 34:53
  Yeah.
• 34:53
  And then we have a mutt that's a boxer or something, hound something.
• 34:58
  So, so, Your dogs are very active then, like are they?
• 35:03
  Oh, no, no.
• 35:04
  Well, when, so like when people first come over, yes.
• 35:06
  Like very excitable, whatever, but no, most of the time they're just laying around.
• 35:10
  So they're not like the boxer videos that you see, like, like they just, I mean, yes, but for like 10 minutes, but then they're, yeah.
• 35:17
  So they get like the zoomies and then they get it out?
• 35:19
  Yes.
• 35:20
  Okay.
• 35:20
  Now the, but our youngest one, the, the videos that you see where boxers are like destroying things, that would be our youngest one.
• 35:27
  Oh.
• 35:27
  If we just let him out.
• 35:28
  He is so naughty.
• 35:29
  I'm telling you.
• 35:31
  I'm telling you.
• 35:31
  I've never had a dog that just destroyed stuff just to destroy it.
• 35:35
  Do your other dogs try to like school'em?
• 35:38
  I don't know.
• 35:38
  Cause it, it happens like when we're not there.
• 35:40
  Okay.
• 35:41
  So we had some weird issues a few weeks ago where we got him a new crate.
• 35:45
  our other two, we crate trained and then they graduated out of it and they're fine with that.
• 35:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 35:49
  But, You know, some dogs need to have a crate for safe space and all that.
• 35:53
  And, and he does because he'll hurt himself.
• 35:56
  Um, so we crate him, well the, the one that we had before had one latch on the front door that locked.
• 36:01
  This new one has got two cause it's a little bit bigger.
• 36:04
  Well, something happened when we were leaving and we would not shut it all the way.
• 36:08
  I guess we were still getting used to it.
• 36:10
  And we'd come home and it would be, he would be out and like, I'm talking like my keyboard at my desk, like my keyboard, what is my keyboard done?
• 36:18
  Like why that, I have no idea why some of the stuff he got into.
• 36:21
  So yeah, he's, he is the one that I would do a video on.
• 36:24
  Yeah.
• 36:25
  Um, cause he is like that.
• 36:26
  He's get like a camera.
• 36:27
  I did see a funny video the other day where it was like I put my Fitbit on my dog today.
• 36:33
  She walked 33 steps all day long.
• 36:36
  That would be him.
• 36:38
  He, he doesn't, um, move if I'm not home.
• 36:40
  Aw.
• 36:41
  Um, so there would be no.
• 36:43
  Not a lot of, yeah.
• 36:44
  Him, um, yeah.
• 36:45
  Getting into anything mine always wanted.
• 36:47
  Seem to like get the zoomies though, like at midnight.
• 36:50
  Cause I stay up kind of late.
• 36:51
  Yeah.
• 36:51
  I'm watching TV and stuff.
• 36:52
  Everybody else is in bed or like, Jackson's in his room, whatever.
• 36:56
  And that's when they start like clumping through the house, like elephants and I'm like, quit.
• 37:01
  Yeah, yeah.
• 37:01
  You know, they say like, your, your dogs act like they're owners or they get their personalities of their owners and like, I really like, feel like that's my spirit animal.
• 37:12
  Well then maybe that is why, um, our dogs are crazy for 10 minutes and then they're chill.
• 37:17
  Maybe that's me.
• 37:18
  Yeah.
• 37:19
  But like, you know, we walk him like three and a half miles a day.
• 37:23
  Yeah.
• 37:23
  He gets like, You know, a little over a mile and a half in the morning and then Yeah.
• 37:27
  In the afternoon.
• 37:28
  Yeah.
• 37:29
  So I think he gets it all out like walking.
• 37:31
  That's good though.
• 37:32
  No, but that's good for him.
• 37:34
  Yes, she's right.
• 37:35
  Re I feel like we talk about Rex just as much as we need to add that to our agenda.
• 37:38
  Yeah.
• 37:39
  Like, okay.
• 37:39
  Re dumb crimes, books, reviews, Rex update.
• 37:42
  Um, speaking of dumb crimes.
• 37:44
  Yes.
• 37:44
  And we're also gonna review a dumb law.
• 37:47
  Oh God.
• 37:49
  So my dumb, um, well, what do you wanna do first?
• 37:53
  Do the dumb crime first.
• 37:54
  Okay.
• 37:55
  Dumb crime.
• 37:55
  We did the Alabama.
• 37:56
  Alabama, okay.
• 37:57
  All right.
• 37:57
  So this is on from the New York Post.
• 38:00
  Uh, police in Alabama were left shaking their heads.
• 38:02
  Friday morning after a wild multi-state car chase led to an arrest of an accused car theft, wearing a dumb bleep sweatshirt.
• 38:11
  Uh, we can't curse on this show cuz it's, um, not rated for that.
• 38:15
  Um, but it's dumb.
• 38:17
  But, but you can use the other word.
• 38:19
  Um, one of the males was wearing this sweatshirt.
• 38:21
  The Oxford Police Department posted on Facebook of two men taken into custody along with a photo of the prophetic garment.
• 38:28
  Maybe he should have taken his own advice.
• 38:30
  This morning, the post-script cops began, began chasing the stolen white Mazda at around 9:30 AM in Harson County, Georgia.
• 38:37
  The Post said the alleged thieves later crossed state lines into Alabama, continuing on US Highway 78 into Oxford, where the Mazda crashed into a store.
• 38:46
  Both men were arrested at a local Wendy's and faced drug charges and charges of receiving stolen property.
• 38:53
  Yeah.
• 38:54
  So he was wore, like they knew it was him for sure.
• 38:57
  Uhhuh cause of his sweatshirt.
• 38:58
  Identifying him as what he for sure is.
• 39:02
  Yeah.
• 39:02
  How do you crash into a building?
• 39:05
  I understand.
• 39:06
  Like if you have a medical condition or something like that.
• 39:07
  No, that was not me.
• 39:08
  That was, that was just stupidity.
• 39:10
  And one like, don't wear identifying clothing.
• 39:15
  Right.
• 39:15
  If you're gonna commit a crime, you need to be cat burglar.
• 39:17
  Right.
• 39:17
  A little inconspicuous.
• 39:18
  Like don't all black.

  And they had this whole section on things that happened on Facebook like that crooks did.
• 40:02
  So there was one, this lady named Tiffany dso, and she shared the police sketch.

  We'll be in touch.
• 40:28
  Like basically we're on our way.
• 40:30
  Did you see that Facebook post, that the police had like the wanted picture up?
• 40:34
  Mm-hmm.

  And the guy kept responding, he is like, um, whatever, pd.
• 40:38
  it's not you, it's me.
• 40:39
  I have co commitment problems.
• 40:41
  And like, they went back and forth for like four days and the guy put himself in.
• 40:45
  But like they, he's like, I'll turn myself in by tomorrow night.
• 40:47
  Just gotta, you know, take care of a few things.
• 40:49
  The next day, the cops were like, uh, well I guess it is us and not you.

• 41:04
  That's pretty good.
• 41:05
  Yeah.
• 41:06
  Have you seen the ones where like the restaurants go back and forth with their signs?
• 41:09
  Yes.
• 41:10
  Like they'll.
• 41:10
  You know, dis each other.
• 41:11

  Yes.
• 41:16
  Oh my gosh.
• 41:16
  I wanna know.
• 41:17
  We need that person on our staff.
• 41:19
  Oh, my staff.
• 41:20
  I know.
• 41:21

• 41:31
  People love it.
• 41:32
  Yeah.
• 41:32
  I mean, yeah, it's fantastic.
• 41:34
  And then like as a business owner, I'm like, We had like thought about like taking that route Uhhuh in the beginning, and then I'm like, no, we can't.
• 41:43
  Like, yeah, I don't want like, people are like cuckoo nowadays.
• 41:46
  True.
• 41:46
  And so you don't want to offend anybody anymore because you don't know how they're gonna react.
• 41:53
  Right.
• 41:53
  So we take the total opposite approach and like, don't put any feelings.
• 42:00
  If you notice like my social media is like Dylan the dog and like business.
• 42:04
  Yeah.
• 42:04
  Like I have no like no, no personal, no thoughts.
• 42:08
  Yeah.
• 42:08
  No thoughts, no thoughts.
• 42:10
  Well, I don't like to post that stuff either because Yeah.
• 42:12
  I just don't wanna get into arguments about things all the time.
• 42:15
  Yeah.
• 42:15
  Which is why my Facebook is dogs and happy things.
• 42:19
  Yeah.
• 42:19
  Like, it's just not, I don't understand like why everybody can't just have their own thoughts, but like I stuff that I don't wanna see like that I don't like watch or mm-hmm.
• 42:28
  Like, I'm being like fed into on Facebook.
• 42:30
  Mm-hmm.
• 42:30
  And it's almost like, cuz the election's coming up.
• 42:33
  Oh yeah.
• 42:33
  Um, like they're forcing you to see stuff again.
• 42:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 42:36
  Because up until like a month and a half, two months ago, like, I never had anything political in my feet ever.
• 42:42
  And now, like, just through down my throat, like Yeah.
• 42:47
  So I know, I know.
• 42:48
  I don't like it.
• 42:49
  I don't like it either.
• 42:50
  It's not even fun looking at videos anymore.
• 42:52
  I live in a happy bubble.
• 42:54
  I do too.
• 42:55
  I'm not, I mean, I, I vote and I, you know, whatever.
• 42:58
  But I don't, I'm not a big political person Now Brian likes to follow all the stuff.
• 43:03
  Yeah.
• 43:03
  But I am Brandon, he's, he's follows a lot of like the crypto stuff and like the financial stuff.
• 43:08
  And he's, he's very in tune with that.
• 43:10
  And which then of course comes politics.
• 43:12
  Yeah.
• 43:13
  And so I'm like, are you messing up my puppy feed?
• 43:18
  What you're talking about sir, is, um, Facebook is listening.
• 43:22
  Yes.
• 43:22

  She looked like she was like 35.
• 44:24
  I know.
• 44:25
  My God.
• 44:26
  Un I didn't, first of all, I did not know she was 81.
• 44:28
  Like I thought she was like in her sixties.
• 44:30
  So did I.
• 44:31
  What's wrong?
• 44:31
  It looks amazing.
• 44:32
  She does like when you have all the money in the world, like you can look amazing at that age.
• 44:36
  But she spent time in the pen.
• 44:37
  She sure did.
• 44:38
  And so it did not affect her.
• 44:40
  Did you see that thing when it's like, which one of these is a felon?
• 44:42
  Yeah.
• 44:43
  Martha Stewart.
• 44:44
  And it's Martha.
• 44:46
  It's, but yeah, she looked at me.
• 44:48
  I know.
• 44:48
  And she was just lounging on the beach and I made a suit.
• 44:51
  I, he was like feeling it.
• 44:52
  Oh, I don't blame her.
• 44:53
  I'd feel it if I look like that too.
• 44:54
  She was, that's like all, do you watch Real Housewives at all?
• 44:56
  No.
• 44:57
  Okay.
• 44:57
  It's like all like the Real Housewives.
• 44:58
  Like everybody on Bravo is like mm-hmm.
• 45:00
  60 and older or Lady nine.
• 45:03
  They look like they're like 30.
• 45:05
  Yeah.
• 45:05
  And I'm like, they look better.
• 45:08
  Well, that was the meme I saw.
• 45:09
  I can't remember exactly what it was, but something like Martha Stewart's 81 and I had that picture and then like some.
• 45:17
  She, so for all y'all that can't see Dylan's in the kitchen and he just pulled up Martha Stewart's picture.
• 45:29
  He said, dang, she looks good.
• 45:31
  I mean, he's not Rome but nowhere.
• 45:35
  81.
• 45:36
  I know, right?
• 45:38
  Yeah, I know.
• 45:39
  She looks, yeah.
• 45:41
  That's crazy.
• 45:41
  Yeah.
• 45:42
  But yeah, the comparison between her looking like that at her age and then like a 35 year old woman that they had on there was hilarious.
• 45:48
  Yeah, it was probably me 35.
• 45:52
  Well, neither of I back in the rear view mirror for sure.
• 45:57
  Did you find the dumb law okay.
• 46:00
  So did you, there were so many.
• 46:02
  There was so many, and like, so many questions of how these laws came about.
• 46:06
  Excuse me, Rex.
• 46:07
  Yeah.
• 46:07
  He's just pushing us outta the way.
• 46:10
  Um, yeah, so I found a ton.
• 46:13
  Okay.
• 46:14
  So do you wanna start with your dumb?
• 46:17
  Let's go back and forth.
• 46:18
  Okay.
• 46:19
  Okay.
• 46:19
  So I'll start with my favorite one.
• 46:21
  It's illegal to wear a fake mustache in church.
• 46:24
  I Do you see that one?
• 46:26
  Like, like the glasses with Oh, yeah.
• 46:29
  Yeah.
• 46:29
  I just picturing with the eyebrow.
• 46:31
  Yes.
• 46:32
  Or just like a little Hitler mustache.
• 46:36
  But it's illegal cause it can cause laughter.
• 46:37
  Okay.
• 46:37
  Your turn.
• 46:38
  Okay.
• 46:38
  Um, it's illegal to dress up as a priest on Halloween.
• 46:41
  No, I didn't see that one.
• 46:43
  Yeah.
• 46:44
  That's so funny.
• 46:45
  it's illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.
• 46:49
  Why does that have to be, why does that have to be said right?
• 46:52
  I don't know.
• 46:53
  Elephants must not be placed in electric ovens, but like, Like, how much of an elephant can you fit in an oven?
• 47:02
  That's what I was thinking.
• 47:03
  And why is that a law and how did that, like, tried to put an elephant?
• 47:07
  What, what was we need to make a law against that.
• 47:09
  Like how was that that big of a problem?
• 47:11
  It had to be like, women in Alabama, like with the traveling circuses maybe, you know, like the olden like scary circuses.
• 47:18
  Yeah.
• 47:19
  Circuses.
• 47:20
  That's not of word circusy.
• 47:23
  I dunno.
• 47:24
  Okay.
• 47:25
  Putting salt on railroad tracks can be punishable by death.
• 47:28
  I found out why that Ah, okay.
• 47:31
  When the railroads were like super active.
• 47:33
  Mm-hmm.
• 47:34
  Um, No, it was cattle.
• 47:36
  Cattle.
• 47:36
  It was what?
• 47:37
  Um, they, and like if they had sick cattle, they would, because the railroads would, I guess have to pay for like if their cows got hit.
• 47:42
  Yeah.
• 47:42
  Like they pay the damages or whatever.
• 47:45
  And so they would put salt or put whatev, like put, put it on the railroad track so that they would come and get hit by the trains.
• 47:52
  That's terrible.
• 47:53
  Yeah.
• 47:53
  So that's, I did find, I was like, what the heck is this?
• 47:56
  And I did see that.
• 47:58
  That one's sad.
• 47:58
  That one's bad.
• 47:59
  Okay.
• 47:59
  Let's you get something more lighthearted.
• 48:01
  Um, bear wrestling matches are prohibited.
• 48:03
  I saw that too, but you know what, I have been through Alabama.
• 48:09
  I've never spent a lot of time there, but just, you know, kind of what your preconceived notion Yeah.
• 48:14
  About Alabama is.
• 48:16
  I could see where that they tried that a few times.
• 48:18
  Yeah.
• 48:18
  Surprised of what?
• 48:19
  An alligator.
• 48:20
  Um, okay.
• 48:21
  I got another one.
• 48:22
  It's legal, not illegal.
• 48:25
  It's legal to drive down a one way street in the wrong direction if you have a lantern attached to your vehicle, that had to have been made, like, like back way, like when vehicles first came out.
• 48:35
  Yeah.
• 48:35
  Yeah.
• 48:36
  Um, okay, here's one for you.
• 48:38
  Okay.
• 48:39
  Um, you cannot chain your alligator to a fire hydrant again.
• 48:46
  How much of a problem was this?
• 48:48
  That they had to write a law?
• 48:50
  Alligators are strong.
• 48:51
  Yeah.
• 48:52
  So I'm picturing the, the alligator, like ripping the fire hydrant out and like, you know, like the, like the guys are coming up.
• 48:58
  Yeah.
• 48:59
  So somebody had to have chained their alligator to the fire hydrant.
• 49:03
  Okay.
• 49:03
  One more.
• 49:03
  Okay.
• 49:04
  Um, in Mobile, Alabama, it's illegal to spray silly string.
• 49:08
  That's horrible.
• 49:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 49:09
  That's a horrible law.
• 49:11
  That is a horrible law.
• 49:12
  I mean, I guess it is considered litter.
• 49:13
  I.
• 49:14
  That's a horrible, but silly stirng is joyful.
• 49:16
  Yeah.
• 49:16
  It's so much fun.
• 49:17
  Yes.
• 49:18
  I don't like that one.
• 49:19
  Me neither.
• 49:20
  Okay.
• 49:20
  Um, you may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time.
• 49:26
  Again, why is this a thing?

• 49:30
  I don't want this quite, I'm not gonna finish it.
• 49:32
  I'll just put it in my, is it legal in your front pocket?
• 49:35
  And why is it illegal?
• 49:37
  Like, what is it hurting?
• 49:38
  I, I got questions.
• 49:40
  Albanians, please tell us.
• 49:42
  Tell us may Well, maybe like an animal, like attacked the person cuz it was in his back pocket.
• 49:49
  Okay, I see that.
• 49:49
  So an alligator was chained to the fire hydrant.
• 49:52
  They lost by, with an, sounds like a joke.
• 49:55
  marshmellow flavored ice cream.
• 49:57
  And the alligator went crazy and the person drove by blindfolded, so they didn't even know what's going on.
• 50:02

• 52:35
  But it's a mom's page.
• 52:36
  Yeah.
• 52:36
  And there are some questions in there that, people probably wouldn't be comfortable voicing or giving feedback if it was open to, you know, just everybody.
• 52:44
  Now that's not saying that people don't screenshot something to show their husband or whatever, but we do what we can to protect Yeah.
• 52:49
  You know, the, the women in that group well, We've really had to crack down because people are inviting men like a lot of men to these pages.
• 52:59
  Hi.
• 52:59
  So there's been a new rule implemented that like I did see it.
• 53:02
  This is your warning.
• 53:03
  Yeah.
• 53:04
  This is your warning.
• 53:05
  Um, if you invite men, you're gonna get kicked out.
• 53:07
  I mean, it's pretty simple.
• 53:09
  Well, I'm a white lady for those of you that don't know me.
• 53:13
  So I messaged this one lady who invited her husband to the group.
• 53:18
  And I mean, it was very obvious that they were spouses because their names and their pictures and, cause I did some digging trying to figure out how they were connected.
• 53:26
  So I messaged her as, I was like, due to inviting a man to the page, you're being removed.
• 53:30
  I said, you can rejoin at a later time.
• 53:33
  And she was like, don't you think that's racist?
• 53:35
  And she was white and her husband was white according to all these pictures.
• 53:39
  And I was like, I.
• 53:40
  I mean, no, I don't think it is.
• 53:43
  I don't think that this is the thesis.
• 53:44
  Did she think she got like sexist?
• 53:45
  I think so, because she responded a little bit later and I didn't even read it because I was like, I'm not even entertaining that I've got more to do with my time than that.
• 53:52
  But I was like, did you approve my post yesterday?
• 53:55
  I thought the iPad was that you?
• 53:57
  No, that wasn't me.
• 53:57
  But I did see it.
• 53:58
  But I'm glad it found its home.
• 53:59
  Yeah.
• 54:00
  Um, so we were grocery shopping at Walmart and um, I didn't even notice it.
• 54:05
  Like we just took the cart cuz it wasn't like one that was stuck.
• 54:09
  Um, you know, like how all the carts stuck in Walmart?
• 54:11
  Yes.
• 54:11
  So, um, you know, we just took the one that was loose and we were put, put, putting stuff in there and I wasn't paying attention.
• 54:17

• 54:18
  And we were like, halfway through the store.
• 54:20
  Oh.
• 54:20
  And like, neither of us saw it.
• 54:22
  Um, and, and it was in the buggy the whole time.
• 54:24
  It was like, and like Yeah, but like for the cart, whatever people call it, it's, but it was in like, the big part.
• 54:28
  I didn't even notice it.
• 54:29

• 54:29
  Like, we were literally like in like the back corner of the store and he's like, whose iPad is this?
