Episode Transcript
Mandy. Hello Katie. And Maggie. And Maggie. Yeah and Maggie. She's very clingy. Good everybody's
real clingy. I got my bag out to go on a little overnight trip so everybody's
very nervous. Yeah. I showered so everybody's extra nervous. That means something's happening.
Yep. Something's happening. I know baby. So yeah. So that's what's going on over here. My first
year of ordination in the Methodist Church. It's a three year cycle and so my first year is
almost complete. I can't believe that. That's awesome. I know. What it has meant is that
once a month or every other month ish I get to go up to Atlanta and see my friend
Christine. She lets me stay with her which is so nice. And so I get to see her and her
family. So one more time this year because it kind of runs in the school year cycle. So one
more time this year I'll get to go see her and have you know restaurant options tonight.
Wow. Listen. Look at that. When I used to go to Nashville when I first moved down here I'd be like
can we just go get some bad Mexican food. Yeah. Because we don't have any like bad
Mexican food places down here. Right. Yeah. So there's no pizza places here. There's no bad
Mexican. I have to drive very far for sushi. Like I bet y'all got some good Mexican
there. That's the one thing about South Georgia. They have some good Mexican. Yes. And if they
would open after church on Sunday and I get that they are all in church themselves but they
would make a killing because they'd be the only thing open on Sunday and we would all go
because it is so good. It is authentic. Make their own tortillas like the whole nine yards
is so delicious. I love it and it's woman owned which I also love and they've done so
well that they've just expanded and gotten a market. So you can get by their tortillas if
you want to. You can buy Mexican pastries and sodas. It's just a great little gem of a place
here in Viana. So but I'm really excited to go up to Atlanta and see my people and and get
this first year completed. So that's nice. Last week we watched the Masters around here.
One of my sweet shut ins used to work at the golf course for fun and so I go sit with him
and watch the Masters and that was a lot of fun. But and I didn't even get to watch the
par three this year because I was getting my hair done but the feedback has not been great.
You know it's that whole maybe I love that you coined this phrase or maybe you didn't maybe
you saw it somewhere else but the wrestle, wrestlefication or however you say it.
Wrestlemaniafication.
Wrestlemaniafication of the Masters just did not go over well.
You know I got to go in 20 I guess 2021 and I had previously been like maybe 2012,
2013, 2014 somewhere around there and it was very different. Now I had chalked it up to 2021
they honored everybody's passes from 2020 and so I chalked it up to the fact that it was
probably more crowded than usual but they had totally like they had changed the the
gift shop was different. They had built it I think they had built a new gift shop from
what I remembered but like the line it was like getting into Disney to get into the gift
shop. So yeah like I had just sort of chalked it up a bit to you know the fact that it was
more crowded than usual but I think it actually was the beginning of a trend.
Yeah.
Because then you start seeing all these people you know all the influencers.
Somebody's banging on something. Like you don't have to wear green to the Masters y'all.
No well and I really like I think the influencer thing is what has done it. Like
the first I saw several on my feeds and the first and most frequently stated comment was
how'd you get a camera in? Like the whole point is that this is a sacred place and I
don't care if you're an influencer or not or you're there with I mean like stop keep it
sacred. Right honor the you know the rules of the place.
And even the par 3 I get that it's different it's supposed to be fun and family friendly
but you've taken that family friendly thing and turned it into a spectacle instead of
a precious event and I just don't love it at all. So I hope that they reevaluate
after all these people have given them so much hate. I hope they reevaluate their thoughts on
that going forward. I doubt they will just because you know we want it doesn't mean
that they will do it but you know Fox still uses those terrible graphics during football
season even though we've told them not to. So you know I just wish it was just that
sacred beautiful thing that it used to be. But anyway it was a great tournament a lot of people
are giving Rory crap about going like two weeks prior or three weeks prior and playing the
course every day. Well I mean they have the opportunity to do that too. Right. You chose not
to. Can't help it he's smarter than you. I mean come on. So you know I thought it was
a great tournament. I thought it was great golf. My sweet Russell Henley came so close and did
so well. I was so proud of him. His finish ensures that he'll be back next year so
that's all great. I loved watching your little fella from Moultrie and he was really
cute and did I mean amateurs for your first time being on that stage. I mean I
thought he did great. So I was real proud of the whole Georgia contingent. So
good things happened as well. So Mandy what's going on with you? Listen we're just here. It
is the week after Hell Week. Oh yeah yeah. We are loving life except for Mercy who is like
where did all of the people go? I don't have 111 people to greet every time I step outside.
We are still inundated with the gang of bike children. Went to dinner with
some friends last night. Gang of bike children. Listen it's a thing. I swear it's not just me
making it up because my friend Bart was talking about people ding-dong ditching at his house and
I was like wait when was that? Was it two weeks ago Sunday? He was like yes. I was like oh yeah
they started a golf place and then they went your way apparently. I'm sitting here opening
my mail. I had to get a bond. So most like in Georgia you can waive having to file a bond
if you're a personal representative or an executive of an estate. Some counties in Florida
you cannot waive bond and so I had to file a probate in a county that does not waive bond.
I had to get a bond and there's like a company that I used to go through. When I tell y'all
they have been sending me something in the mail ever since I have a keychain with my name.
Spellbrite and everything. Look at that. I have some chocolates. There's a big box in my
car that I just haven't even opened yet. I don't know what's in that. I feel like maybe
I should have used a different company because I feel like I could have gotten it cheaper for
somebody who's not marketing themselves so bad. Look at this guy's business card. Stop it.
He's the bondinator. Stop it. Sorry I got distracted. It's the hair. What is even
happening anyway? What is going on? So yes spring break. I can't remember who's here
this week but it's absolutely nothing compared to... So I will tell you and I have to like
be very vague because I pinky promised over the phone that I would not share details but
at another beach on in another state from you. Yeah. A friend of mine manages properties
and they had to forcibly remove a group of spring breakers from a certain town
like two days into their stay because they destroyed the house and the neighbors had
called the cops like four times in two days. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, we were laughing about
that last night because the people I went out with to dinner are all in the... Well,
they're not all now but at one point in their lives, they have all worked in the short-term
rental business. One of them owns a property management company. One of them used to own
a property management company and she sold it and then my friend Susie used to work in sales
that worked with property management company. So they have long been knee deep in this
business and we were laughing. The Walton County Sheriff's Office Instagram page will now
post when they have to kick people out of a house, they will make like a really jokey
post and like say, well, these folks are headed back to Mississippi
or these folks and it's hysterical and they were like, I wish they would post
their pictures and name their names because they're like, we love the fact that they
do that because we don't list people in our properties, we have to clean up after them.
Yeah, apparently there was some kind of blue substance all over the bathroom. Turns out it
was that blonde hair conditioner just all over the place and they would come up like they had
to ask the people that they kicked out like, what is this? We don't know how to get remove
it from the... I will say my sister and my nephew like sharing a bathroom with them
sometimes. I'm like, do we not know that we can keep a towel just outside the shower
and when we're finished showering, we can pick up said towel while remaining in the shower
to dry off. Do we not know this? And to be fair, I remember when my friend Susie taught me
this. Right. Like I was old enough to remember, like apparently this was not a lesson we
learned in our household. Right. But so I do understand that there are holes in people's
education about how to properly maintain yourself indoors. Yeah. But I am still astonished
sometimes that we think we can sling blue shant... Yeah. Apparently somebody's blush
exploded all over the bathroom too and they didn't clean it up. I don't know. Somebody also put
all of their wet clothes in a trash bag and they threw it away thinking it was trash when
they evicted this group and it was somebody's like real expensive clothes. And so a mama
that I know very well, she doesn't know I know this, drove down to this place
and dug through trash, drove hours to this town and dug through the trash can to get her
daughter's clothes out of the trash can. Yeah. I mean, I get that. What the... My sister was
laughing this week. I posted a story. You're frozen. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you.
Yeah. Okay. I posted a story and I still have, because my sister went to Vanderbilt
and we've talked about at the end of every semester how people would just, you know,
put stuff outside their dorm rooms and she would... I'm starting to have through that.
I had on a polo. It's a pink and white striped flannel, extra, extra large polo button down
that we have had since probably three. And I was wearing it last week and she was like,
nice shirt. I would daily drive down there and get my expensive clothes out.
Very expensive clothes, I guess. I mean, worth driving hours. Worth a drive. Yeah.
To this town that shall remain nameless. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, wild,
wild, wild. Listen, I believe it. I believe it. But yeah, so we're just enjoying
the freedom to, you know, move around again. The weather has been perfect. Good.
We had the balcony doors open and Mercy likes to just lounge on her dog bed. I open the
balcony doors everywhere and pull her dog bed out there and she just lounges out there in
the sun. And yesterday, this little bird kept flying into the house. Luckily, it would just
land, fly right over her body and land right in front of her. And she would never react,
but I would stand up and it would immediately fly back out the balcony. No problem.
The fourth time it started to fly in the balcony doors, I stood up before it got in
here. And I was like, yeah, well, that made Mercy stand up and she did try to chomp it out
of the air. And so then it did not come back. It did not come back. So we solved that.
So this morning, got the balcony doors open. It was too wet to put the bed out there.
So she was just standing out on the balcony. And I saw a bird go like horizontally from one
side of the balcony to the other. So I knew that, you know, it was in the area. Well,
then all of a sudden here it is in the house and it flew a little further this time.
And I like yelled and it went up in the air and Mercy comes in from the balcony towards the bird,
which freaks the bird out. So then the bird's flying towards me, behind me,
further into the house. And I'm like, oh shit, oh shit, Mercy, Mercy, I forgot.
So then the bird tries to fly back out, but then he gets stuck in the window,
between the window and the blinds. And Mercy's trying to get to it. I'm screaming at Mercy to
come away. And you kind of have to be careful with Mercy. If you grab her by her collar and
try to redirect her, she'll act like she's going to bite you. She's not incomplete.
But so I kind of tried to calm myself down and gently get her collar. And I said,
come on, let's go. She did. She was fine. She was very compliant and she came with me.
And we went to the bathroom and I was trying to regroup and figure out what I was going
to do. And while we were back there, the bird made its way outside and we have now closed the
balcony. Good, good, good. Yeah. Listen. Yeah. That was way too much adrenaline for, you know,
730 in the morning. Amen. Right. No, not here for that. Not here for that.
Just a baseball update. Love it. My sister and I were talking last night,
listen, the Fendi boys may not make the postseason for the first time in like 20 years.
I think they've made it the last 19 years. Really? Yeah. She said the interwebs are really
fired up about it. In fact, she was telling me the story of this. My sister has just a
tab bit of road rage and she says, she's telling me and she says something about
Corbs and Corb said, and then she says, that's not a red light lady. And I was like,
why did Corb say that to a report? Oh, wait, you're yelling at someone. I was so
confused. I thought, why was Corb talking about red lights to the reporter? Anyway. So yeah,
so that's not good. But, you know, as I reminded her yesterday, I'm old enough to
remember when Ole Miss barely made it into the postseason. They were the last team picked
to participate in the tournament. Yeah. And they went on and won it all. Yeah. So,
you know, maybe, maybe BND gets hot. Maybe they went out from here on. Who knows? They
have the capability. They have the capability. The SEC tournament will determine a lot of that
too. So if they do well in the SEC tournament. It helps, but it doesn't. Right. You know,
remember that guy, I can't remember what that it's something PI, you know. Oh yeah,
yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. They have this like formula that they play
everything into. So I mean, that does help. If you're on the bubble, if you do well or win
the tournament, that does help. That's what VD, remember last last year, VD went into the
postseason ranked number one in the country and didn't even win their own regional.
But part of the reason they were ranked number one is they did so well in the
tournament. But anyway, like, so that's, that's the college, the college baseball
situation. The Cubbies are like the Cubbies were predicted to do much better than the Braves.
And they're struggling. They're on the struggle bus. Well, they are, they are last in their
division has not been going well for the Cubbies. But the Braves, the Braves are,
they have the, they are tied. Everybody kind of at this point, just the Dodgers are just
in their own sphere. Like they sort of don't know. But the Braves, other than the Dodgers,
the Braves were tied with the Padres last I looked with the best record in baseball.
Yeah. And we were worried about pitching. Right. Which is actually what happened to the
Cubs. The Cubs number one and number two. Their number one is on like a short term aisle
and the number two is out for the season with Tommy John. So it happened to the Cubbies later
than it happened to the Braves. But yeah, it does sort of feel like the Braves are,
you know, one Chris Sale injury from it all cratering. But the good news is we're doing
this and none of our big bats are really hot yet. Like we're doing this with old Dom Smith,
who we talked about a couple of weeks ago, who hit the walk off. And then we found out his
mama had just died of cancer and like he's everybody's new favorite bro. He had, it
wasn't a walk off. It was in the eighth inning last night, but he had a three run double
That's great.
to put him up over the Marlins. It's, you know, it's guys like him. It's Mauricio Dubon,
who is our backup shortstop, who's having to play because our shortstop shortstop cut his hand
on the ice in Korea in the off season. It's this guy, I don't even know his name because
we refer to him as pro far's cousin. Because he looks so much like jerks and bro far that when
we first saw him in the dugout, we're like, wait, I thought he was suspended. Yeah,
I love it. He's no pro. He's no pro far's cousin. Sometimes they bring people out of
the bullpen and I'm like, who is that? Who are you? Never heard of you. But come on.
Yeah. So, you know, that's the good news. If we get Ronnie and Matty O and Riley
rolling, then look out. Yeah. Well, I've also heard good things about this new manager. What
do you think about him? So while you know, what was the bench coach? Did we talk about
the big fight last week? We have not talked about the fight. No. Okay. That was hysterical.
Yeah, it really was. Jorge Saler, who even if you're a casual baseball fan, you may remember
the 2021 World Series. He was the one in Houston in game, whatever it was, I can't remember six
or seven. He hit that moonshot home run that went out of the stadium. He ended up being
MVP of the World Series the year we won it. He now plays for the Angels and he,
Ronaldo Lopez hit him. Right. It was not on purpose, but he thought it was.
Well, I know it's different when you're when it's coming at you, but like looking at it,
there's no way that was intentional. Well, in defense, he had already been hit by a pitch
in a preview. He hit a home run. First of all, he owns Ronaldo Lopez. Yeah. And then he hit
a home run his first at bat. Then he got hit by a pitch at his second at bat. And then his
third at bat, Ronaldo threw a ball high and inside. And so Saler was pissed. And Saler is a
large human being. And he went and Ronaldo Lopez is a large human being as well. But anyway,
so they go at it and go at it. And all that like as we were watching it live, I was like,
is that Walt Weiss? Yep. Sure enough, y'all the manager who's like 63 years old and maybe
5'10". Yeah. Comes out of the dugout and does a perfect everybody keeps saying it was a perfect
form tackle. I don't know what that means. Whatever that means took took as he calls him
Georgie. Same as Jorge. Yeah. He took Georgie down to the ground. It was hilarious.
Anyway, so I love and we call that scrappy. I mean, so he's like trained in all kind of
MMA and like everybody in the Braves dugout is like, Oh, yeah, we all know not to mess with
we all this is well known. Yeah. But anyway, so yeah, so like, and what's so funny is like,
he didn't get fined at all by the league. Jorge Saler was like, no, no, he was just
trying to protect me. Yeah, because he, Jorge was here for several years. Yeah. Cracks me
up that while causing Georgie. Georgie. He was like, you know, Georgie is a big man. I
just had to get him to the ground. So yeah, no, I like law. He's people were a little afraid that
he was going to be sort of more of the same. Yeah, because he has a bench coach for like seven
years. But it's not he constructs a very different lineup. And he has the flexibility
to do so because we traded Marcello Zuna. And he was stuck with Marcello Zuna as the
designated hitter every night because Lord knows Marcel could not catch a ball in the field.
Right. And so we traded Marcello. He was free agent and he went to the Pirates and say,
well, it has some more flexibility with the lineup. And I do think it's just a little bit
of a different attitude. You know, he's a little younger than he's obviously a little
scrappier than Snit. And so I think, you know, what we have long been wishing from the Braves
who, you know, tend to be very buttoned up and businesslike, which is great. That is my
preference. But you got to have a little balance of both. And so I feel like they got a little
more of that. So listen, we'll ride this train as long as, you know, we can, which may be,
you know, a week, it could all blow up at any moment very easily. But that's all right.
Well, we've known that to happen since we've done this podcast. We know that to happen
in the postseason at the end of the season. It doesn't take much, especially I feel like with
this lineup and with the, you know, we're holding it together with duct tape and she's
string right now with the pitching. So we'll just ride this train. I think that's great.
Absolutely. Absolutely. So, okay, Katie, we'll talk to us about,
we'll see. It looks like you have some food for us.
I do. I have two products that I have found that I really like.
I have not been cooking much, but what I have been doing is getting a sandwich
from my friends at the station pretty much once a week. Y'all know a sandwich is better
when somebody else makes it, but they use this product that I have fallen in love with
and I bought a bottle of it. So one of my guilty pleasures in life is McDonald's fries,
but you have to get the hot mustard to dip them in. I don't know why that's a rule,
but it's a rule. And so this mustard,
Miner can Mike's date old date old pepper sauce. I don't know. It's a mustard,
mustardy sauce. It's a little bit sweeter than the hot mustard at McDonald's, but it is
delicious. I mixed it with a little mayonnaise for a dipping sauce the other night.
You could just put it on a sandwich. I love that it's a small business. It's out of Florida.
So I linked as we do, I linked the company's website. They have a lot of other products,
but I've only used the date old pepper sauce, but I love it. So enjoy that if you're a
mustard connoisseur. And then the other day, you know, Aldi has saved South Georgia for
me because I don't have a fresh market. I don't have a Trader Joe's and I don't have a Whole
Foods. And so Aldi has saved me because I can now get decent cheese, not too far away.
And one that I found that I really like is one called Borgonzola and it's a brie and
gorgonzola mix. And it is creamy and sharp like a gorgonzola. It is so good. And so
if you, it comes in like a blue wrapper, it's like a wheel of brie and a bright blue wrapper.
So look for that. If you're in Aldi, it's really good. So I totally endorse those two.
And I meant to mention this. I was watching. Do you follow My Last Meal? Have you ever
watched that? There's a sweet comedian, gay male. He's been on Kylie Kelsey's
podcast before. More than once, I think. I can never remember his name,
but he was on My Last Meal and his dessert for his last meal was a Whole Foods
Chantilly cake. And I was like, where's Mandy? This is our favorite cake. You introduced it
to me. So I have missed those kind of grocery stores. It made me really want some of that
cake. But I can't get it. But anyway, so Aldi is saving the day down here for the cheeses,
for porch sitting like I did last night. So anyway, I love that Morgan Zola.
So Mandy, tell us about your favorites. Okay. The first thing are some shoes.
I love that. Flip flops that my sister gave me for Christmas. They're called
Archies. And so they have a little bit more arch support than your typical flip flop.
Called Archies. I see it. I see it. It actually reminds me of my friend Jane.
Jane's my mother's age, but you know how you have patience for people who aren't your
mother. Right. Yes. When they're not yours, it's much easier. It's a lot easier to deal
with some of their nonsense. Jane and I have gotten to be close enough that she's almost
like she's my second mother. And so I'm like, Oh my God, what are you doing?
When we went to the Green Canyon, we took Will and Jane's grandson Jacob to the Green
Canyon several years ago. And Jane and I shared a room and the boys shared a room.
And Jane would have to get up every night in the middle of the night and pee.
Jane's a retired school teacher and so she used to stand on her feet on concrete floors
all day every day. And so her feet are just wrecked. And part of her solution is that she
wears shoes all the time. She can't ever be barefoot because some doctor told her that
she had to wear shoes all the time. But then she's also one of those like she's got her
inside shoes and her outside shoes because you have the chemicals on the lawn,
which she could spray in her lawn after her dog Sparkle died. So we got it. There's a long
history here. But anyway, all of that to say every time Jane would get up in the middle of
the night to pee, she would slip on her flip-flops and then flip-flop her way to the bathroom
in the middle of the night. Instead of just quietly tiptoe. But she had to wear these
flip-flops because they had arch support. I believe hers were fit-flops. Even to walk to
the bathroom. Yes, in the middle of the night. Yes. But maybe I'll get Jane some
archies because I feel like this would be a shoe after her own heart. I think Jane would
love those. Yeah. So the second thing is both an Instagram follow and a new artist
for y'all to love. Okay. That's what I was just making sure that I was following the
right one. Yes, follow. On my field trip, she is from Knoxville. Love it. And her art is
just beautiful. She posted, we were laughing when we were there. She's like,
I have a hard time like, she has a hard time like accepting money for her art. We're like,
Rebecca, you have to. She posted a story last Friday showcasing one of her new pieces
to a John Batiste song. And I was like, Rebecca, that's perfect. Perfect. Makes
you want to give you money for it. Yes. Yes. But anyway, it's just beautiful. She
does a lot of landscapes. She does a lot of, she had the Q's as we went in there
scrolling through her art. She had the Q's little ducks. We were all like, oh,
the ducks, the ducks. And she's like, the ducks are sold. But anyway, she's just great.
She's a great human being and her art is beautiful. It is really, really pretty.
The next thing is some new music. And it actually came out a couple weeks ago,
but I was just listening to it again last night and it was making me laugh so hard.
Casey Musgraves, new song. She's got a new album coming out in May,
but she released one song early. It is called Dry Spell. Okay.
It is a freaking riot. I can't wait. There's a line in it that says,
I am so lonely. You know, the kind that starts with an H
and then she gets up to talk about sitting on the washing machine. Oh God.
There we go. So funny.
It is so funny. I love it.
What was it? Golden Hour? Was that the name of the album?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That album, since that album, she's released a couple of more albums and yeah, they're fine.
But you know, it's hard to turn magic in a bottle.
Yes. But this song was really like, it just, I'm digging this song.
So it makes me hopeful for the whole album, but maybe it'll be a really good one.
And then the last thing is the Braves new City Connect jerseys.
Really good. If you have anybody in your life
who was a Braves fan growing up, who's about our age, I'm going to have to really recommend
Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, whatever you got coming up.
Not necessarily the jersey, because let's just talk about that for a minute.
They're $200. Oh God.
Okay. Yep. And also they do not button.
And I'm like, I got to see these in person because I got to see what kind of material they
are. Yeah. Because there's no way on God's green earth that I can wear a jersey that does
not button because I can't, but it's too hot. I cannot. I will melt.
But they have other items that are in that same color scheme with the same,
it looks like the jerseys that Dale Murphy wore.
I love it. It takes you straight.
It's got a logo on the sleeve, ATL, that looks, it's in the same typeface as the TBS
logo was back in the day when we used to watch the Braves on that all the time.
It's just so nostalgic that if you have a Braves fan who's about our age
and you need a gift anytime soon, I'm going to tell you, you're going to hit
it out of the park if you get them some of this new City Connect paraphernalia.
Love it. Yeah. I saw it the other day online and I was hoping you,
I'm sure you had seen it or I would have sent it to you, but it really just was such a great
nostalgia jersey. I was really excited because some of them are terrible.
I'm going to get one and I'm going to get Brett Butler's name and number on it because
that was my first baseball crush. And then I'm like, I'm going to spend a $200
to get Brett Butler's name on my jersey. No, that's hilarious.
I'm going to have to wait until they go on sale if I get one at all, because again,
hot. No, it's hot.
Anyway, so that's what I've got. What's going on with you this week,
Katie? You're going to Atlanta. I get in the car. I'm so glad you gave
me the KC Musgraves to listen to on repeat so I can memorize the words in the car on
the way up to Atlanta. So I go up there today and then got some exciting stuff coming up this
weekend. We are meeting. Some of our leadership is meeting together with,
we talked about this last week, one of the black churches that's our neighbor and our
friends. And we're going to look at ways to be in mission and ministry together.
And I'm so excited about that. I think one of the first things that
on our end that we need to do, and I hope that they'll do it with us,
is read Just Mercy. I think that's a great idea for us to do together
and then plan a trip over to Montgomery. So I'm going to suggest that. I'm hoping that
that is well received. We'll see. So I'm just going to listen though. I think that's
again our first job as people of lighter skin is to listen to them and see what they need
and what they want. So that's what we're going to do this weekend. And I'm very,
very excited about it. And they're going to feed us. And I am dreaming about the dirty
rice that we had the last time we were together. Like I still dream about it. It's so freaking
good. So we'll see if I get any. I hope I will, but we'll see. I'm not going to put
in a request yet. I don't think we're there. If you mention it, that will guarantee
that it will always be at our future gatherings. I did. So the lady that called me afterward,
her husband is the one that made it. And so I got on the phone with him and was like,
and you know, I'm a little nuts sometimes when I was like, if it wasn't inappropriate,
kiss you on the lips. It was that good. And he just thought that was the funniest,
best thing he'd ever heard in his life. And he was just so honored that I loved it so
much. So fingers crossed there's dirty rice. But anyway, so it's great. There are great
things happening. You can do such good things in these small South Georgia towns. If you
just start little. I know y'all can't hear, but she's, I can't hear you. Oh, yeah.
He's got her Walmart prescription just delivered. Oh, I bet she was not happy about it.
Hey, come on. Come on. Sorry. Yep. But I was just saying little things,
little changes, little gestures. I can't hear you at all now.
Oh, did you beat yourself? No. I mean, unless she punched a button.
No, I'm not muted. Can you hear me? Oh, there's a phone call coming in. Let me find
that. Now I can hear you. Now you can hear me. Little things, little gestures, little small
meetings turn into big changes. And so I'm really hopeful that we can be the model of how
to be in the church since, you know, sometimes in this world lately, there has not been a
good example of what it means to be like Jesus. That's right. And you cannot even
imagine the temptation I have to throw on a red sweater over my white robe shoulders
Sunday and make a joke about being a doctor. But I think I'm at a refrain from that. I
think that would just be blasphemous as well. So anyway, how about you? What are you doing
this week? Are you still just recovering? I am. Our friend Elizabeth, our loyal listener,
Elizabeth is back in New Orleans this week. And I was like, I'm still tired from our last trip
to New Orleans. And you're already back. She's like, I'm okay. Yeah, we got, we got nada.
Yeah. Well, good. Good. Good. Well, y'all have a great week. It is good to see you,
Mandy. As always, y'all go out and find your people and have a great time.
Hold on. I don't know how to stop it anymore.
