Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign.
Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. Number 48.
[00:00:17] Speaker B: And I'm finishing my goldfish.
I have a mouthful. Okay.
[00:00:22] Speaker A: I'll talk while you eat.
[00:00:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I was hungry and I had no energy for some reason.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: You were fading because we're going back
[00:00:29] Speaker B: to the winter time. Something's crazy.
[00:00:31] Speaker A: Probably. That's what probably happening. Like hibernation's kicking in.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: It's ridiculous.
[00:00:35] Speaker A: I'm glad that's over. That was a brutal weekend.
Crazy weather. So we record this on Tuesday. So we're recording this after the weekend of in March, where it dropped down to 22 or something. Overnight freezing again.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: I am made for the heat. Like, I. I don't really think you'll hear me complain in the heat.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: I don't. I'm not either a hot or cold. I like both. But, man, I didn't have any heat this weekend, so this weekend was not a good weekend.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: All weekend.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: I know.
[00:01:06] Speaker B: When will that get fixed?
So Lisa's gas went out. Gas line break.
[00:01:10] Speaker A: I had a gas line leak, which I think had been going on for over a week, which is kind of scary that I lived in the house with a gas line. But I thought I had rogue smell issues because of COVID which I do think that it. Because it happened like two weeks ago. I don't know if I told you, but I got this loud roar through my fireplace like four times, which my dad said was probably the leak. And it was building up gas in the fireplace and then it would burn off.
And that's what I was. That's what was happening.
And so. But I didn't have smell because of COVID So then when I started smelling things, I was thinking about you saying you smell burning things in your house. So I was blaming it on cigarettes. Yes. Specifically, I was blaming it on Covid, where I think I was living with the gas leak, which is scary.
[00:02:01] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't tell you how often I walk into homes, whether it's vacant homes or just people's homes, and.
But I kind of always brush it off because I'm like, well, they have a gas burning fireplace. And, man, I smell gas in people's homes all the time because of those gas fireplaces. And I'm always like, God, is that healthy?
[00:02:21] Speaker A: I never even use mine. I haven't used mine in years because I've never been. I've always been a little bit afraid of it.
[00:02:27] Speaker B: I don't like gas.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: I just either. I'm thankful that none of my appliances are gas except my water heater. Which is out in the garage and my furnace which I would switch those out to electric in a, in a heartbeat if it wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. But I think what's going to happen now this week is going to cost me an arm and a leg.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: What's how my house burned down when I was a kid was our gas hot water heater. And, and so when it came down to when we, when we got this house we had a.
There was a gas stove and there was going to be an issue with it and I was like, no, cut it off. I don't even want to have it. I'd rather electric. I don't care if gas looks cooler or whatever. I just don't want gas.
I'm scared of it. And that's all that we have. Also there was an opportunity to have a gas. There is a gas thing at our fireplace too and I'm like, oop, cut. Cut it off. Yeah, we don't have any gas anywhere else. I just don't like it.
[00:03:21] Speaker A: I don't either. Yeah, I would rather not have it. I've always been in all electric homes. This is my first one to have gas and I've always just been a little bit nervous. Like I said, I never use that gas fireplace and I'm kicking myself that I didn't have it capped off before now because I don't use it. But I didn't. But I apparently that one obviously was leaking and they capped it off and then ran the test, pressure test and there's other leaks yet to be determined. I guess that's going to happen tomorrow. I'm going to find out where all the leaks are under the house somewhere. So it's going to be a nice little.
[00:03:54] Speaker B: I will say my, my. Because that's going to be a nice bill.
[00:03:58] Speaker A: Yes, it is. I'm sure not looking forward to that.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: We've always kept a home warranty on our house and I will say in some of those circumstances that paid for itself during some of those years because that, that handled the cost of that for like $100 co pay.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: Although it's gotten pretty pricey for a monthly payment. But in those situations it has very come in handy. Although sometimes they're not very fun to try to maneuver. But if you know how to it, it does come in handy.
[00:04:29] Speaker A: Well and I feel like I'm kind of in between. I've got my dad who is very knowledgeable with plumbing telling me stuff. I have the plumbing company telling me stuff. And then they tell me to call the gas company, the gas company's telling me something different.
And then I've got to determine which is right and not get charged by both entities. Now, crazy amounts of money.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: Now I say on Tulsa, Midtown neighbors, on the. On the page, we've seen the question come in multiple times where people have said, hey, is it worth it to keep that service line warranty? You know, you have this. And hands down, people have said, absolutely, yes. Like, because it's such a small fee and that they add to your bill and that they say, hands down, it pays for itself. Like, people have shown thousands of dollars it saved them on that service line from your house to the street.
[00:05:22] Speaker A: Right.
[00:05:23] Speaker B: So I would get that you got to have it in play for 30 days. But moving forward, I would add that it is a great source of extra security.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: Well, supposedly, if they.
What the plumbing company told me to do is call them and say, hey, I want to have my meter moved from the back of my yard up to my house.
And they will do that at no charge to you. They cover that expense. If you have a leak between the meter and your house, they'll move it up for you and repair all that and not charge you. If you have a leak in the yard, if the leak is under your house, they'll still do the metered move, but then you pay for the cost. And then they said they ran it. The guy ran the test at 1:30 in the morning when he was out there and said that there's no leak in the yard or the perimeter of the house. But that's based on his little machine that he used, which my dad said it really. The air pressure test is the true test, which he didn't do because he had had to cap off lines and do all that stuff.
So they're telling one thing. They're telling me, no, that's a sufficient test. My dad's saying, that's not a sufficient test.
[00:06:28] Speaker B: You're like, I just want heat.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: I just would like to have water, hot water. That would be nice. Because cold showers are not the thing that I enjoy the most. No, it's been a little brutal.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: I need some plumbing work done at my house.
[00:06:41] Speaker A: So I reminded my dad on the phone the other day, is this is why it took me so long to buy a house, because I would. It's really nice when someone else takes care of it for you. Yes. Instead of having to be at all the expense. Yes, it is. Nothing makes me angrier than having to pay for stuff like this.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: I want a new pet.
I do. I want a new pet.
[00:07:02] Speaker A: What is it?
[00:07:03] Speaker B: It is called a Flemish giant rabbit, and I didn't even know they existed. And wait until you see this.
And this is not a lie. And they are the coolest things that you've ever seen in your life. Yes. My friend just got one.
[00:07:20] Speaker A: That thing is massive. It's the size of a grown man.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: They. It is the coolest thing at hers. They hop around the house. They use a litter box, but the litter box is different because the pellets kind of like drop through this kind of a pan that kind of sifts through it. So it's not like they. They stand in their stuff and it just hangs out with the family all day long.
They. It'll get to, like, £30.
Uhhuh. It's already £12. Yes. It'll. It'll go in the car.
It'll. It is a regular house pet. It stays in the cage at night, has a regular attitude. Lisa's looking at the picture of it that I'm showing it. You should see her face.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: That's gotta be the crate. Like the size of a German shepherd crate.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: It is the coolest thing you've ever seen. And they were actually bred for meat is what they were originally bred for. But their personalities were just so docile and so cool.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Where does your friend live?
[00:08:22] Speaker B: Owasso. Yeah.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: I mean, you've seen it and held it and looked.
[00:08:26] Speaker B: No, I have not yet. But she. She would not have this, believe me, if they. They are not farmers. They're not. They live in a beautiful home, and she is.
This was what her daughter wanted really bad.
[00:08:40] Speaker A: That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: It is the coolest animal.
[00:08:44] Speaker A: How big is it gonna get?
[00:08:45] Speaker B: About 30 pounds. Mm. Right now it's 12 pounds. And it's only, I want to say, maybe 16 weeks.
It's gonna be a big, big girl.
[00:08:58] Speaker A: What's the. What's its name?
[00:09:00] Speaker B: I don't remember what she told me. She told me, but I don't remember. But I want it. I want one really bad.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Where do you buy them?
[00:09:08] Speaker B: They actually went to Kansas to get this one, but then she found out there actually is somebody in Tulsa who has them. But I don't know who or where, but they. Yeah, you want one?
[00:09:19] Speaker A: No, I go tiny. I like little, little creatures. I take a little tiny bunny.
[00:09:25] Speaker B: How cool is that? And they. From my understanding, she said they don't. Doesn't really just like, shed.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I wonder.
[00:09:32] Speaker B: But I want one.
[00:09:33] Speaker A: Hang out with your dogs.
[00:09:34] Speaker B: 100%. Give it a. All they're gonna do is the thump my dog if it gets out of.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: You could use that. You know those pillows you have, like, people have that are like body pillows?
[00:09:43] Speaker B: 100.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: That would be a body pillow.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Daisy is my body pillow. So I don't know how that's.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, man.
[00:09:50] Speaker B: I want one.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
[00:09:52] Speaker B: Right?
[00:09:53] Speaker A: That's the biggest rabbit known to Manish.
[00:09:55] Speaker B: Giant.
[00:09:56] Speaker A: Giant is the word.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: Yeah. So look them up on Tick Tock or something because they are honestly the
[00:10:01] Speaker A: coolest thing that would be taller than.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: And get this. I would have thought they would have been like 500, 900 exotic.
Like 125.
[00:10:12] Speaker A: Because I was actually thinking more like a thousand.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: Are you right? I mean, I would have.
[00:10:16] Speaker A: For that thing and being exotic like that. No.
[00:10:18] Speaker B: Yeah. And. And they were literally bred for me, which is really sad.
[00:10:22] Speaker A: It is very sad.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: But we're here to save them.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: So I guess when they become your pet, they're not going to be your dinner.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: No, they're not gonna be dinner. Not one bit. We're gonna feed them dinner.
[00:10:32] Speaker A: Can you train them?
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Yes. I mean, they just like. Like she said now, like, as soon as they come home, like, her daughter is the caretaker, and. And so, you know, it'll be hanging out with the family. When they see. When she sees her daughter come home, she runs to her at. You know, to the door. Like, she knows that's her. Her person.
She just runs around the house like if everybody else does her thing.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: And that's crazy.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: Is that not so cool?
[00:10:58] Speaker A: Yeah, that's funny.
Have you seen some of those videos on.
I've been watching them on Instagram of these donkeys. I think donkeys are so funny.
[00:11:07] Speaker B: My sister has donkeys and they're like, annie the donkey is one of my favorite donkeys.
[00:11:13] Speaker A: They are so fun to watch. And when people call them, they come hopping.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: And yes, her donkeys are honestly the best. And there was one that was such a screamer, like this donkey. It was a male and it loved. But the way this donkey screamed on a rail, like the neighbors would call him. Is everything okay over there? Because it sounded like a crime scene on a regular, but makes me laugh. Oh, you should have heard it. I have videos of it. It was the fucking funniest thing you've ever heard. She finally.
She sold him and I thought, did these people even know what they were getting help because it was a disruption to the country.
Side, it was so loud.
[00:11:51] Speaker A: There's a video out there on Instagram. I watch it and I cannot stop laughing. And these girls are at like, it looks like maybe a petting zoo. And there's a tiger that they're videoing and he's got really short legs and he's really a big tiger. And so they're commenting on the tiger about he's very well fed and how short his legs are. And then one of them says, and then you got donkey over here. And they pan the. Their phone over to this donkey and it's right up against their window and it is totally smiling at them and trying to get their attention. And they. Those girls laugh so hard in the car filming this dunking. It raised one lip up and like, it was smart. Oh, my God.
So hard. So sweet.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: They are so, so loving and so sweet. And they follow you and they know their people.
They are honestly very, very kind.
[00:12:43] Speaker A: That's hilarious.
[00:12:44] Speaker B: Goats too.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, goats are so the best farm.
[00:12:47] Speaker B: I mean, it's like the place of happy because everything's miniature.
[00:12:50] Speaker A: I mean, she still has all of them now.
[00:12:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, she's got everything. I mean, she's got the llamas, the goats, the everything.
The miniature horses, which. There's this one lady I watch on Tick Tock a lot and she's got this miniature horse that keeps crawling in her lap to be rock every night. She has to rock it. It gets in her lap and it's this little.
And it lays like a baby and she has to sing to it every night and it just falls limp in her arms and its legs just are turned to spaghetti and its neck is spaghetti.
[00:13:25] Speaker A: And she thinks she saw that and it just like his head goes all the way back. And I did see that video.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: Anything like it, the cutest thing ever, but it did. It made me. I ran into, you know, Ty and I had volunteered a semester at the horse stables with the dis. With the disabled at the horse stables. And I ran into the lady that ran that the other day and she was like, you guys come back. And I'm like, you know, I really do. I missed that because it was so nice working with the horses.
And so I'm like, man, I'm wondering if we need to fit that back in our schedule. And they do need volunteers. So that was out in Sepulpa.
So if anybody is interested in something like that, just know these stables are looking for volunteers of all ages. So look into.
[00:14:11] Speaker A: That'd be fun.
[00:14:13] Speaker B: It really was. It was very rewarding.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I bet.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Yeah, it was good. And they can work with your schedule. I mean they have all kinds of time slots, so
[00:14:22] Speaker A: is so cool.
Well, I think animals are so fascinating anyway. I love that. I love watching them. I love the dogs and the singing dogs. And I always save videos like that and show my dad, he goes, why do you always show me all these dogs?
[00:14:35] Speaker B: Because they're so cool. Yeah, I love.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: Those are just fascinating to me. They make me happy too. They make me laugh. And they're how you can train them and they're just.
I mean we're. I think we're all blessed to have animals in our lives because they truly are.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Well, I was like growing up, I would. My sister was the one who.
You would. I would end up with ducks in my Easter basket.
[00:14:58] Speaker A: Live ducks. Live ducks are so cute.
[00:15:00] Speaker B: Or live rabbits in my basket. Or a horse was in the backyard for Christmas one year. I don't know how my parents put up with it. I mean, Betsy was the one who ended up with bringing home animals for every excuse possible. And so. And then what is she gonna do? Take away animals from.
[00:15:18] Speaker A: Right.
[00:15:18] Speaker B: My little sister, the children. Are you parents, Are you gonna take away the.
And then one time they had brought home suppose allegedly she had found a bunch of tossed away puppies on the side of the road that somebody had dumped. And my brothers and sisters were in on this with her and she had loaded him up, I think in a do. In a basket on her bike or something.
Well, the news, the newspaper got hold of the story and they were on the front page of the newspaper with all these puppies that have been dumped. I mean, I'm talking 40 years later, like the truth came out. And. And I could be botching this story some, but did my mom and dad find out that. No, she went and got them from the dog pound. She didn't find them on the side of the road. Like this was a whole. This is how she got her hands on these animals. So she could then take care.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: Yeah, no, he brought him home. She's gonna get to keep them because. Yeah.
[00:16:12] Speaker B: Different now. She will still get her hands on animals.
[00:16:15] Speaker A: And Yeah, I love that. If you have the place for it. That's fun. She does. And you've seen those videos where they say, you'll know if I win the lottery. And it's like 75 dogs come running out of their house.
[00:16:26] Speaker B: Basically her. That's why I sold them five acres out there.
[00:16:30] Speaker A: And that.
[00:16:31] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that's full of animals. I love that because I Think they're so cool.
[00:16:36] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: So. Well, I fell down my steps again at my house for the second time. I've lived in that house 16 years, and I've fallen down twice in the last couple of months, and I've never fallen down before.
So I don't know if what's going on, but I was on the phone yesterday right after the plumber left to tell my dad what was happening on the phone with him.
Going. Going outside with my dog, and I took. I went with her with a leash on her because the plumbers left everything as is. When they left, they didn't put anything back. Typical. Which drives me crazy. And so I didn't know if they closed the gate. And if Piper gets out the gate, she's gone. She's not coming back. She's going to run and have the best day of her life. So I put her on the leash so that in case the gate was open, since everything else was left undone.
And talking to him on the phone and going down the steps with her, and I hit the top step and ended up down on the patio. Phone flying across the patio.
[00:17:34] Speaker B: And I had to put some yellow tape and some extra railings out there for you.
[00:17:38] Speaker A: I know my dad's like, lisa, you got to stop going down those stairs. It's like, oh, I have to go down the stairs. Like, what is my other option?
And so anyway, a ramp. Yeah, it's gonna have to be.
He's. Anyway, he's like. I could hear him yelling my name, and I was like, hold on, dad.
He goes, are you. Can you get up? I'm like, I'm already up at that point. I mean, I was. You know, I had to go get my phone and. But on the flip side of that, I knew I was going to be sore because, I mean, you crash hard on concrete, and I'm not loaded.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: BPC break in case of an emergency.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I have to. You know, I'm not getting any younger. These old bones of mine. So I went straight in and did a double dose of BPC157. And I will tell you, I'm not sore this afternoon. I woke up a little stiff this morning, but I'm not sore. That stuff is a miracle worker. Yeah, I love that. I can't even imagine not having that in my life.
And then I did have a thought yesterday that I might need to stop wearing heels, and the thought of that just really depresses me. Yeah.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: Have you tried tennis shoes?
[00:18:37] Speaker A: Well, I have.
I wear tennis shoes, like, to work out and stuff. But to wear them normally on a day to day because I'm always dressed up. I just. I know. So the answer is no. And I can't even fathom that. That would be my life. But I remember a friend of mine that I met when I was going through volunteering at the cancer center who had the same kind of cancer. And we became really good friends. She was in her 70s. And I remember her talking about her having to give up heels because she kept falling. And I was like, oh man, that's never happening to me. But I might be at that place in my life still dress up tennis.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: I mean, you can. You can see anymore. You can dress tennis, shoes up, cute, casual. I mean, it can be done.
[00:19:18] Speaker A: I don't see it on me. On me at all. But I might have. I mean, I might not have a choice.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: At some point because I sure. I failed, what, three weeks ago at my dad's house in front of him. My dad's gonna have.
[00:19:30] Speaker B: I know him, a heart attack.
[00:19:32] Speaker A: He's. He's not happy with that because he. My mom was falling, you know, towards the end.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: I mean, imagine how you feel if you see him falling. They feel no different.
[00:19:40] Speaker A: I know. Yeah, he's.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: He's.
[00:19:42] Speaker A: He was pretty worried.
[00:19:43] Speaker B: I still remember the first time I ever saw my mother fall. I was in high school and she tripped. Like it's a legitimate. It was the same thing I could have done in high school. Like she tripped over. We were at Fuquay Park. There was a tent and there was a cable holding down the tent just like this. It was invisible. She tripped and she fell and wiped out. But it has scarred me and I'm 51 years old and I've never forgot the feeling being her fault. And nothing happened. What wasn't the first time I saw. I was little and she did break her. But chasing me. We were just having fun in that.
Like to kill me.
[00:20:16] Speaker A: I bet I was. My mom was sitting in the. Their den and my dad was out on the patio. He and I were out there working on some stuff. And I had come in the house. I was in the kitchen and she was out there and she goes, lisa, your dad just fell. I came bolting out the kitchen and he was getting up, he was out on the patio and he hadn't really fallen from standing to the ground. He was trying to get up and put his hand on something that gave away. And so he went back down, but he didn't actually.
And just. That still rings in my head. And just seeing him on his knees freaks me out. So I can only imagine what he's feeling. And to have be on the phone with somebody. I was on the phone with a friend one time when they were in a car accident.
And that is the worst because you hear it and then they're gone because the phone is in the floor. And I kept saying her name. And finally she goes, they were outside the car.
And then she yelled in the car and said, lisa, are you still there? I'm like, yes. What happened? And she said, we were in a car accident, but they had already gotten out of the car because the car was smoking and the phone was still in the car. It is the most traumatizing thing ever.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Hear that? I'm sure it traumatized him yesterday.
[00:21:21] Speaker B: I'm sure. Probably. Poor guy.
[00:21:23] Speaker A: Because I'm sprawled out on my patio.
[00:21:25] Speaker B: These Flemish giants.
[00:21:27] Speaker A: You're watching the rabbits.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Well, they're still strolling. Streaming on my phone.
[00:21:32] Speaker A: That's the craziest thing.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: My first AI class is tomorrow. Pretty excited.
[00:21:36] Speaker B: Very good.
[00:21:37] Speaker A: Sold out.
[00:21:38] Speaker B: Very good.
[00:21:39] Speaker A: And I have another one next week with one seat left. I do. I'm excited.
It's just flashback to, you know, when I taught social media, which was so much fun. And I'm. I'm hoping that these are just as fun to really work with people. So.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: I bet it will be.
[00:21:54] Speaker A: Yeah. Put my new sign out on the door that you missed when you walked in.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Oh, I didn't see it.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Sad. But. And then this month is my.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: I'm always just looking at the door handle to see if it's unlocked.
[00:22:04] Speaker A: Unlocked. Or I've locked you out.
My seat at the table. This month is my last one with new people.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: I've had 36 people through my house for dinner since September. Wow. Yeah. And so I start over in April with new combinations. I'll remix everybody and start over.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:22:28] Speaker A: So doing it again. Chapter two. Yeah. I'm excited.
[00:22:31] Speaker B: You'll have a whole new menu. And maybe not the same.
Probably not.
[00:22:36] Speaker A: That's been so easy.
[00:22:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:38] Speaker A: But I gotta figure out something else because that would be stupid to try it all again. But. So, yeah, I'll remix. You guys were. You were my first one. First group.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:22:45] Speaker A: In September.
And so.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's gone really fast.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah. This has been fun for me. I'm. I'm. You know, I get to do it every month, which is really fun.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: And then I'll remix everybody. And Lucky you got the energy for that. Oh, it's fun and it's so easy now. Now it's just a matter of the table design, which is. I always change it kind of per season.
I did this one, I started working on it this weekend and I've got all black and white plaid dishes. I'm trying to decide do I do white hydrangeas or do I do red roses to go with it. But because it's really. It should be Easter themed in springtime. But I really liked. I found those black and white checked eggs at that Marie.
[00:23:27] Speaker B: Amber Marie.
[00:23:28] Speaker A: Amber Marie. I always want to call it Marie calendars. Amber Marie. Yes.
[00:23:31] Speaker B: That was on my mind too.
[00:23:32] Speaker A: So I was like, well, I have to stick with the. I have to use the plaid eggs. It's the week before Easter so that means I have to use the plaid dishes. And so I got to figure it out. I'm going to figure that out today. It's next week. But anyway, so.
[00:23:48] Speaker B: Well, it's 6 o' clock almost in the evening.
[00:23:50] Speaker A: So you'll.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: You still have a little bit of time in the evening. Figure it out.
She said that like it was 10am
[00:23:57] Speaker A: I know, I know that's true. But I, you know, I. I'm up till forever. So anyway, I'm pretty excited. It's going to be fun to start over because it'll be new groupings.
[00:24:07] Speaker B: I'm impressed.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Yeah. I can't believe you've stuck with it this long.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: No. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
[00:24:13] Speaker A: And they're ready to come back and do it again. So. Hey, on. On talking about food. Did you know have you heard that Chick Fil a soaks their chicken in pickle juice? Which I think do you like Chick Fil A?
[00:24:24] Speaker B: I had it before I came here.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: I saw your cup. That should have been like. That's what made me think about it actually.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: I asked for extra pickles. I always get extra pickles on my sandwich.
[00:24:33] Speaker A: I bet that's why you like Chick Fil A. And I don't know if that's true. I've just heard rumors that they soak it in pickle juice.
[00:24:38] Speaker B: I think they soak it in about 5, 000 other ingredients too. Because yeah there's. I just like their spicy chicken sandwich. But what's funny is I only eat 1/3 of it. I wish they. I probably just needed should get some spicy chicken tenders and we call it a day.
[00:24:53] Speaker A: I've never had Chick Fil A. I know.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: And it just blows my mind.
[00:24:57] Speaker A: Never even been to the drive through restaurant. I've never had any aspect of it What'd you say? That was really good there. Or was my dad telling me chicken pot pie or something? Or chicken.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: I haven't tried that. I just get a spicy chicken sandwich and be done with extra pickles.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: Everybody I talk to though that eats the chicken sandwich always orders extra pickles.
[00:25:18] Speaker B: Really?
[00:25:19] Speaker A: Which I find interesting. Yeah, you're like the third person that's told me that.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: I guess cuz they're pretty bland without. I mean, there's not a whole lot on it. Managed to get a mayo pack. Yeah, but I don't need a whole bunch of it.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: Well, I was, I had it all figured out in my head. I'm like, well, that's why Amy likes it because she likes to drink pickle juice. So she must associate pickle juice with her chicken sandwich at Chick Fil A.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: Yeah, I like pickle.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: I do too.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: But I haven't tried that pickle dip. Everyone's trying. Like that viral pickle dip I keep seeing. It's like, oh, cottage cheese. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know about that. And I love pickles, but I don't know that. I don't know about that.
[00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah, that one doesn't really sound great to me. No, but I do. I mean, I'll eat a dill pickle. I do like dill pickles, but I wouldn't drink the juice.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Like, I'll drink it. Yeah.
[00:26:04] Speaker A: I can't even imagine.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: Yeah, man. I was, you know, I grew up with older brothers and sisters, so, you know, I saw people play quarters at a very young age.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: But what does that mean?
[00:26:16] Speaker B: You know, they played quarters with beer.
[00:26:19] Speaker A: Right.
[00:26:19] Speaker B: I mean, the drinking age was 18.
[00:26:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: Then, so I saw my brothers and sisters play quarters.
So when I was a kid, little, I mean, like we would play spoons and we would play quarters of pickle juice. So we played quarters of pickle juice.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: Oh, with pickle juice. That's what I was getting confused. Okay.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: I was, you know, we, we got crazy with pickle juice.
[00:26:43] Speaker A: I can't, I just can't even imagine that would lock my jaw up so tight.
[00:26:48] Speaker B: Yeah, we were really challenging each other.
[00:26:51] Speaker A: Lived a pretty like, deprived life. I've never played quarters either.
[00:26:56] Speaker B: Yeah, we did. We'll play quarters of pickle juice.
[00:26:58] Speaker A: So you flip the quarters in the pickle juice?
[00:27:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: Pickle juice. Did you have in your house?
[00:27:05] Speaker B: I mean, a lot, I guess. I mean, there were six kids and then my best friend, I mean they had four kids, so there was always pickles around.
We Mainly played it at her house though.
[00:27:19] Speaker A: Yeah, they had a lot of pickle juice. They probably bought those big five gallon jars of pickles that everybody used to buy.
[00:27:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: Hey, what's that new store coming in on Brookside to Covas and what is that?
[00:27:32] Speaker B: Just very high end Western wear leather boots.
Yeah. Like, you know, very la. You know, very high end.
[00:27:43] Speaker A: I must have seen that posted 7,000 times. I'm like, why is everybody excited about this store?
[00:27:47] Speaker B: Do really well, I, I feeling.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: I would think so. Especially in that area.
[00:27:52] Speaker B: Better than anything that's done there. Yeah, I think that'll have real sticking power. Kind of like Black opticals done.
[00:27:59] Speaker A: And here and for sure in Tulsa.
[00:28:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:01] Speaker A: Where is it?
[00:28:03] Speaker B: It's right there next to like black optical and blue mercury and it's on
[00:28:07] Speaker A: that side of the street. Okay.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's. I think that one's gonna have some staying power.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I would imagine. Knowing that that's. I didn't know what it was, but knowing that, I bet it does kind of hang around for a while. Hopefully.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: Good job. I hope so too. I think you just gotta find. I think there's a, you know, a lot of. Obviously, you know, because the cigar shop closed down or the cigar bar that closed down, there's just, you know, a lot of things come and go. I think there's a lot of dreams that happen over there, obviously. I mean, who doesn't? People have dreams and want things to go. But I think, I think you guys gotta have a real.
I don't, I don't know, something pretty powerful to make it over there at the. With the rent prices and things like that. So.
[00:28:46] Speaker A: Yeah, that reminds me of Magnolia soap.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: I am just so sad. I'm glad she found a place across the street because that was so mad. My big gallon, my big thing of soap. Yesterday, I was pulling it off my shelf and I dropped half of my powder on the floor last night. And I think my neighbors could probably hear me yell through my laundry room wall, but I have a new vacuum. So I vacuumed it up. My container was empty and clean and so don't think I was in.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: I would have done the same thing vacuuming it up.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: So I put what I got into a cup. I didn't put it back in my container, but.
Oh yeah, I'm not. I was not happy.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I would have done the very same thing. I've just always been surprised that that's the location she's chosen because you'd have to make so much money to Pay your rent there. That's got to be a high end rent.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: Oh, has to be.
So.
[00:29:37] Speaker A: So I was really surprised that she's sustained it this long, but she must be moving in. Where? The old cigar. That coffee shop that was owned by the cigar place.
[00:29:48] Speaker B: I can't.
[00:29:49] Speaker A: She said it's right next to Mikasino.
[00:29:52] Speaker B: Oh, okay.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Mikasina. Not casino.
[00:29:56] Speaker B: Mikasina. Yes.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: Yeah. And so I think it's that old. There was a coffee shop in there and it was the same guy that owned. And there used to is a cigar bar there.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:30:05] Speaker A: It's got to be that location, man.
[00:30:06] Speaker B: I'll be honest. I'm glad. Like going into Torchies, it got so bad, that cigar bar, man, I could. You couldn't even sit along the wall in Torchies without smelling cigars.
It was really pretty gross. I mean, if you're not a cigar smoker and you know you're not.
I'm glad you guys who smoke cigars like him. More power to you. But when you don't, it's kind of gross to smell it and not, you know.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: And there really is nothing worse than that.
[00:30:35] Speaker B: I think like a cigar lounge should be more like a standalone building. It shouldn't necessarily be attached to neighboring stores that are clothes or Eerie's or whatever.
[00:30:47] Speaker A: Well, you know, when my office is at 41st in Peoria in that building and that bar. Biker bar was down below, I could smell.
[00:30:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:30:56] Speaker A: Cigar smoke. And I was on the opposite end upstairs.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: And there were days I could really just.
[00:31:02] Speaker B: Oh. Even walking in front of it, like just going out. It just riddled the street. I mean, it was really gross.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: And there's something really. When it's stale, which it tends to get stale fast. It's just an awful smell.
I can't imagine what it would be like being a neighbor. It's just like being a neighbor to a marijuana store. I can't imagine you smell it. And it's.
[00:31:23] Speaker B: I'm sure people think we're the worst people for having an opinion about that,
[00:31:27] Speaker A: but marijuana stores and smelling and not liking cigars. Oh, it is boohoo.
That's for sure.
[00:31:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:34] Speaker A: All right, well, we're out of time.
[00:31:36] Speaker B: Okay, see y' all next week.
[00:31:38] Speaker A: Hey, like us and share us and
[00:31:39] Speaker B: tell your friends and go look up
[00:31:41] Speaker A: Flemish giants and look at rabbits at the size of a.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: Don't drive up the road before I get one.
Bye.
