[Bubba]

On the lake well hello again friends, neighbors and associates. I am your semi retired, mostly washed up host, formerly the Rick and Bubba show and I want to welcome you to Bubba on the Lake. We are broadcasting from the mellow yellow studio. Our website is bubbaonthelake.com and and our comment line which we always welcome. 308 Big Lake 308B I G L A K E Leave your thoughts and comments. Some of those will make it to air. All of them are always listen to and entertaining. Don't forget also to turn on to subscribe, turn on notifications. We don't you to miss anything for the show and of course follow us on social media. We have, we have a lot going on this particular podcast number 60. We are excited to welcome back someone who is a great friend of mine. I would call her almost the sister I never had, Kirsten McCorkle and she is always getting into something and always love to hear from her and we're going to let her and Betty sit down and catch you up on what's going on in their life. I had no idea that Kirsten had a Jeep so she is now technically a Jeep person. Never saw that coming, I'll be honest with you. But she had a lot of questions about Jeeps and I said hold on just a minute, this sounds like a podcast. So we're going to cut her and Betty loose and there is no telling what will be coming up. Also if we have enough time in the podcast I want to try to get to some great email that I've had a lot of questions still about the Tesla. We're trying to come up with a name for the Tesla and I got some really good emails on that and I'll I'll cover that. More later. Right now, for the time being, I have gone with the name Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay? That is from Michael Jackson. Smooth criminal. Annie, are you okay? I don't know why. That just hit me as funny. And I'll share some of the other names that. I'm getting an email and I need your feedback. What do you think? We want to go with a good name. I. I've got. Boy, I've got a ton of names. Names of starships, spaceships, battleships, you name it. Movies. I don't know why, but I always felt like cars and boats should be named after a female. I don't know why I feel that way, but I just always did. I do like Battleship names. Excuse me. Especially how they named them after states. I thought that was real cool. And for those of you from the CB days, if you remember the President series, they named all their CB radios after former presidents. And they, they usually named them that were long ago, not current, so had to be way in the past, like Washington and Madison and Dwight D. And all that kind of stuff. I think that company's back in business now and they've named some, some that are more recent. I saw the Clinton. I won't comment on it. You can only imagine. So let me just leave that there. Okay. Thank you. Don't. Hey, don't be hagging it up. I don't. I don't need any help in this. So we got a fun podcast. We've had several that were technical. This one's going to be a little more fun and I can't wait to hear from Kirsten McCorkle again. Again, thank you for being part of Bubba on the Lake. We appreciate our sponsors. You'll hear them and anytime that you can thank them, use them. One, but two, thank them for being a sponsor. We sure do appreciate it. So without further ado, we will be right back and we will bring. I want to save time toward the end to get in a segment on email and a few things, so we're going to go ahead and jump right into it here. So without further ado, we will be right back after these messages.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'm great. How are y'? All?

[Bubba]

Well, we're good after about three takes trying to get this segment started.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. We've already been putting time out.

[Betty Lou]

Yep, yep, we really have.

[Bubba]

We also have the lovely Betty Lou who is speaking before being introduced, which is a broadcast.

[Betty Lou]

No, no, I don't need to be introduced.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I don't think so.

[Bubba]

You to y', all, you have to, you know, set it up segment.

[Betty Lou]

All right.

[Bubba]

You know, and if you're going to do Betty, say what, you're going to have to learn to do that.

[Betty Lou]

I got to learn this board is what I got to learn.

[Bubba]

This is the least of your worries, trust me.

[Betty Lou]

You think?

[Bubba]

Yes. There's nothing to it. Nothing to it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Just imagine us and the board, we're

[Betty Lou]

going to have it soon.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We might be better at 10am than happy hour. I don't know.

[Bubba]

Well, we're going to, we're going to call this segment sipping and talking and. And I'm drinking water. But not everybody in this segment is. And they're sipping and we're talking.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You invite, you invite the Catholic over.

[Betty Lou]

Well, I mean, it's after five. I mean, you know, we're at the lake. Come on. I mean I'm on a perpetual vacation over here.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know. That's right. This is the work that people dream of it is.

[Bubba]

This is actually a possible foreshadowing of Betty.

[Betty Lou]

Say what it may be, you may be my first guest. I don't know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I would be so honored.

[Betty Lou]

I think you and Jen Williamson would be excellent first.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I love.

[Bubba]

You need a producer that just does everything for you and you talk.

[Betty Lou]

Who's going to be my producer?

[Bubba]

Well, you or Hunter? We can make Hunter do it since he's on the payroll.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, just go ahead and get somebody that's already getting paid.

[Bubba]

Yeah, he's salary. So we can make him do all we need.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. That's right.

[Bubba]

Kirsten, welcome back. And we were talking the other day and you told me you had joined the Jeep club.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I bought a Jeep. I didn't realize that it was a club. It is very quickly.

[Bubba]

It's a subculture, isn't it?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

It's something.

[Bubba]

Now, how did you know you had joined a subculture? What was the first sign?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

The first sign was when I pulled over after several people had waved. And, you know, I'm once again, add didn't realize that the people who were waving also driving Jeeps, because there are a lot of them out there. You'll realize.

[Bubba]

So you thought something was wrong.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Thought my gas tank was open. Thought, you know, my. My hat. I mean, who knew? I mean, it's a new car. I don't. I don't know what I'm doing. I drove my beloved Toyota Sequoia from 2013 on. I mean, yeah, this is a whole new ball game. And in the Jeep's defense, I have read not one manual, have not watched one YouTube video. I know nothing.

[Betty Lou]

I don't ever do that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Nothing.

[Betty Lou]

I learn as I go.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And so I am pulling over, thinking, lights are on, something's wrong. And finally I tell Ryan, and he says, they're waving. Yeah, because they're jeeps.

[Betty Lou]

They're in Jeeps.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I was like, oh, hell no. Have you had a duck?

[Bubba]

They give you ducks, People. We always the ducks.

[Betty Lou]

Have you got a duck?

[Bubba]

You're getting ahead, Betty. Yeah. Have you been ducked yet?

[Betty Lou]

Have you been ducked?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

First of all, the waving.

[Betty Lou]

The waving.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I said, so they're waving like we do in boats. It's a lot of waving.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah, a lot.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean, I said, I can't be them. I can't be in another club. You know, we're already waving on boats. This is first world, first world gripe here, I realize. But I'm like. And everybody's doing it, like two fingers out, you know, like Motorcycles. Now I feel obligated. I'm just waving back. Quinn's waving. We're all waving. And then the ducks. The ducks. Which we are getting ahead of ourselves. We have to talk about why we bought the Jeep in the first place.

[Bubba]

All right, tell us what kind. And I. I have a Jeep from Boss Motors, who is a sponsor of the show here, and I love it very much. We enjoy getting out in it, but it is its own culture, to a degree. Why did you. When you told me you had a Jeep, I was a little bit shocked.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yes.

[Bubba]

You don't hit me as a Jeep person that likes to get out in the woods and ride.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You remember the only buck that Ryan killed on your land? I happen to be with him. Now. I.

[Bubba]

Well, that's true, but you were in the shooting.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Life threatened his life when he almost shot the mom. But I. Like, I am an outdoor gal, but, no, I would not gravitate to hunting. I would not grow. I love the animals, but I would not usually.

[Bubba]

Yeah, you were late getting here because you stopped to let turtles. You help turtles across the road?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Many. Well, you can't give me. You said, do we need to push this back an hour? Which made me realize you were not on a tight schedule. So then I knew that I had a great experience. And it just rained. And there are a lot of turtles out there.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, there are.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I pulled over.

[Betty Lou]

They're dropping eggs. Apparently, just that season or something.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I sent Bubba a picture of all three that I dropped across the road. One was a baby, but because these Escalades and Range Rovers, they're not stopping. They're just flowering right over me.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah.

[Bubba]

Well, for what it's worth, the Teslas will notice them and go around them,

[Kirsten McCorkle]

and the Jeeps will pull over because we're outdoor people.

[Bubba]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know, but I would not normally know, but Ryan had a Jeep, an old Jeep, when the boys were little, and he would take them on drives, and it had a real calming effect. Well, as I said in my last visit, Quinn has not been in school for some time, and we have a lot of appointments.

[Bubba]

Now, this is your son.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

This is our youngest son who has special needs. And we have a lot of appointments, and there's time in between to fill. And, you know, you don't realize when you have a typical child, how easy it is to just go home for 30, 40 minutes, then pop back in the car. That's not the world we're in. So we have to do things in between appointments. And I thought, well, maybe I'LL get a Jeep because it had a calming, quiet effect before. Before when we had it the first time. And I could use some. Some quiet.

[Bubba]

Calming yourself.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. And so. And then when I went to look at the new sequoias, I mean, the price tag.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, I know. Yeah. It does hurt your feelings.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I haven't bought one in a long time.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I was like, oh, you know,

[Betty Lou]

they kind of hurt my feelings back when you bought one. Yeah. Because I looked.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. Let me tell you, people were fighting over that. Oh, yeah. That 2011 Sequoia. Yeah, fighting.

[Betty Lou]

I get it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And so. So we looked for a Jeep and found one, and it's a hybrid, which. Perfect time for that. That baby plug.

[Bubba]

I didn't even know they did.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I didn't.

[Bubba]

I mean, it almost seems like a Jeep shouldn't be hybrid.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I know. You know, let me tell you, we put that top down and it is. It most of the time is quiet. And Quinn loves to ride. And now there are some stories that have come through. It come from it. I can't even talk.

[Bubba]

Time for another sip.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. But it is. It has been great. And I do have some things to learn, though.

[Bubba]

I mean, like.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Like there's a whistle. It whistles. And I think that might be the hybrid.

[Betty Lou]

The whistle. It whistles.

[Bubba]

Yes, it whistles when you're driving.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Just all the time. All the time.

[Bubba]

You hear a whine whistle.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

It's a whine. A whistle. It's something. And it could very well be something I'm doing wrong, because like I said, I have not read a thing your

[Bubba]

husband Ryan hadn't helped you with.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We haven't had a lot of time. There hasn't been a lot.

[Bubba]

Do you see Ron much?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Here and there.

[Bubba]

You know, we used to never see you when we saw him, and that was kind of the running joke.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And here we are again.

[Betty Lou]

I'm gonna call old Ryan and say, hey, you want to play pickleball? Ryan?

[Bubba]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, Ryan can play pickleball because we have done some of that, but, yeah, I'm. I'm loving it.

[Bubba]

Y' all got a lot of friends over there. Y' all do things with overwhelm. Wherever. Y' all do things together.

[Betty Lou]

Wherever you live. Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Wherever you are. Birmingham. The lake, I guess.

[Bubba]

Which one?

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, yeah, we've had a house full this weekend, but he's with the kids now.

[Bubba]

Well, Max, here you are doing a podcast. Sipping.

[Betty Lou]

You think Max is over here in a boat.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Look, Max just got off from work. He's at Kalija.

[Betty Lou]

Is he in a boat at Collage or has he got a he?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I think. Well, sometimes he drives. I think today we did sea doo. It's a lot faster.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. Less gas.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And he is a perfect employee. He is spending every dollar he makes there.

[Bubba]

Back there.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. Yesterday I got a text. Can you come pick me up?

[Betty Lou]

No.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

At work. And he drove his truck and I

[Bubba]

thought, what is he driving?

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh, because he bought some board. Oh, some good board with a fin that comes out.

[Bubba]

So he couldn't. He couldn't get it back.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. He needed a pontoon ride to come get the board that he bought. And I said, have you worked here

[Betty Lou]

long enough to pay for this?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, I. Apple. I did your Apple pay.

[Betty Lou]

Get a discount, I bet.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. I don't care.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

Apple pay.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

He still did an Apple pay. And he's gonna Venmo us, you know?

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I was like, that's not how this works. But his dad's a sucker. And so.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, it's not how it works. We have a 26 year old and we ain't got a Venmo yet, have we? We're still waiting on the Venmo.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Is this the. The one that's in Cabo?

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah, that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I've seen the picture.

[Betty Lou]

Well, now she's coming back.

[Bubba]

Well, now we're talking about the one that was here for the holiday.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

And had to rush back to get to work so she could repack her suitcase and leave to go to Cabo

[Betty Lou]

one day later for a day, day and a half. And then she took off.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

She is living the life that I wish I would have lived to.

[Betty Lou]

That I would do that too, if I and could get away with.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I saw her pay.

[Bubba]

They're all matching. The problem is packing.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

They're poor.

[Bubba]

The problem is she doesn't have the money to do that.

[Betty Lou]

Well, she's working it out.

[Bubba]

She left the country with $100.

[Betty Lou]

We have not given her any money in a year.

[Bubba]

I guess that's a negative.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

She may have Apple pay like Max does.

[Bubba]

Oh, I'm sure every card she can get is maxed out. I've helped her get off of those once, but I'm not doing it again.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

It's hers now, but she's real. She's real fun and she's going to take care of you when you're old because let me tell you who's not doing it. The suns.

[Bubba]

I know. Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

Although Hunter's, you know, he's trying. God bless him, he's trying to take care of us.

[Bubba]

But there's a limit after you pay for Auburn and pay to stay in D.C. and several other things, you know. And the old needle finally hits the edge over there and go. That's it.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yon y' all wait till you start that wedding planning.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. Oh, there will be no wedding.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I hope you have.

[Betty Lou]

We've already told her what we have set aside. I have set aside already announced that there will probably be a destination wed.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Whatever you said, it will only cover the flowers.

[Bubba]

Well, that.

[Betty Lou]

Oh yeah.

[Bubba]

It was a good amount at one time, but inflation and. And these moms and daughters have killed it.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

So. But I, I'm.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's not flowers.

[Betty Lou]

No, I know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We're talking.

[Bubba]

Well, we've. We've been to some weddings. I know that we're over a hundred thousand thousand dollars and we're not. We're not going to do that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. You are going to do a clear tent with a floral rim.

[Bubba]

Let me tell you what a lot of people would pay to be on this dock down here and have a wedding.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

So. And you know what? The cost here is zero.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

So we can.

[Bubba]

We need to look at that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We can make it cost something.

[Bubba]

Oh, I have no doubt that's true.

[Betty Lou]

Coming soon wedding venues.

[Bubba]

Let's not focus on that. Let's get back to the Jeep.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, okay. Sorry. So the g. Okay, the ducks.

[Bubba]

What is the deal with the ducks? I don't get it. I've had a few on my door too.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You tell me.

[Bubba]

I don't know if I'm supposed to thank somebody.

[Betty Lou]

You're supposed to put them on your dash.

[Bubba]

And do what? They fall off.

[Betty Lou]

Look at them. I don't know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I have enough clutter I don't need anymore.

[Bubba]

But I see some people. It looks like the whole. I mean the whole. I have one in there that's black that matches the of the Jeep.

[Betty Lou]

We do not have a duck that matches the Jeep.

[Bubba]

Yes, I do. On the dash.

[Betty Lou]

I guess it matches. It's like camouflage.

[Bubba]

It's behind some of the things on top. You don't see it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I can't decide if I just want to full blown hate the ducks or fully embrace it and get our own ducks with a QR code. And then get some kind of, you know, Instagram page that shows Jeep adventures with Quinn. When you're at a red light and he is yelling at somebody and the tops down and he is yelling at them. Smoking is bad for you. Because that's the part of the Jeep I wasn't yeah, that's what you need.

[Bubba]

So Quinn.

[Betty Lou]

Quinn hangs out.

[Bubba]

Quinn does public service announcements out the Jeep.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

He brings the brutal honesty to a red light, which he's always done.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

But for some reason, I didn't think about.

[Bubba]

Caitlin did that to me when she was little because she could talk plain as day when she was just a toddler. And I remember I had her. I had her in a shopping cart in a sporting goods store. And we turn to go down the aisle, and there's these biker guys there, right? You could tell they were biker guys. Look, you know, looked a little rough, whatever. And they're smoking, and we're, you know, I kind of stopped to decide, am I going to try to navigate this with this little girl in the cart or do what? And she looks at him and goes, daddy is smoking bad for you. And every one of them is lit up.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah.

[Bubba]

And I'm. And I just turn the cart around and go the other way. I don't even say one word. I'm like, okay, just don't get me killed in here, Kayla.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean, and I used to embarrass so easily. And I think this is why God gave me Quinn specifically, because, I mean, I could do an entire, you know, podcast on what I call quinisms. I mean, he. He'll, you know, tell you your breath stings. You know, just a stranger right in the middle of the school, you know, have you brushed your teeth?

[Betty Lou]

Have you brushed?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Because, you know, you don't. When you. When kids are little, you know, that's how you think about it. Let me smell your breath, make sure you brushed your teeth. Well, you don't think that this is going to carry on for, I don't know, the next 20 years? And we're still saying it, but yet we're the size of a adult.

[Bubba]

I will say this because of the people that have bad breaths. I appreciate Quinn asking.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

It is a public service.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You do now when it's running targeted towards you. And he says, your arms look like omas.

[Bubba]

Look like what?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Omaz. My mom.

[Bubba]

Oh.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And he says your arms are soft, like. Oh, my. No, that. Yeah. Well, you know, I don't know that

[Betty Lou]

I want to get around Quinn much now. I don't know. He may hurt my feelings.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's why I'm drinking wine. You know, you just have to.

[Bubba]

Sipping. We're sipping and talking.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

But, yeah, the Jeep. Sometimes we'll put a glove on and wave like Santa.

[Bubba]

Yeah, a glove.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

I like to say Michael Jackson, like, well, white Glove.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We're waving Santa, which he's always done, but it's just more exposed.

[Bubba]

It's more amplified.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

In the Jeep.

[Betty Lou]

That's funny. I told you have a Santa hat.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, no, we're not embracing it that much.

[Betty Lou]

We're not embracing it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Not until December.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know, I'll let him go full throttle.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

But so have you had the jeep out in the woods?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, Ryan. Well, I thought we. That's what we were doing today.

[Bubba]

Yeah. We were going to go jeep ride.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I thought. Yeah.

[Bubba]

Do you have a radio so we can talk to each other? I mean, you don't have family service radios and all that.

[Betty Lou]

She doesn't have ham radio, Bill.

[Bubba]

That ain't.

[Betty Lou]

You're the only one with a ham.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I have a walkie talkie.

[Bubba]

You do? What kind?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Sure. I don't know.

[Bubba]

Family service, you know, like you put in Channel three.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, I think from back in my catering days. They're probably obsolete now.

[Bubba]

I'm sure family service is part of the gms.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, is it?

[Bubba]

You didn't know? General motor service right here.

[Betty Lou]

Where's our walkie talkies? I don't know. In the drawer.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, I've heard. In the middle of the night. Well, one time I heard a man like a. I thought police were in the house because somehow we crossed with the channel.

[Betty Lou]

Walkie talkie.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yes.

[Betty Lou]

And I thought.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I thought there was an arrest happening.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, that's.

[Bubba]

They're also fun at the drive through.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah.

[Bubba]

You can hear the staff sometimes.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Okay.

[Bubba]

Sorry about that. Drive through people just.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I would love that. I mean.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, that might be.

[Bubba]

So you haven't been.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yes.

[Bubba]

But you haven't been out the woods with a Jeep.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, Ryan. I told him that I was ready and he said, your Jeep is for looks and you are a pavement princess. And I said no.

[Bubba]

You got four wheel drive, right?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yes, I said, no.

[Bubba]

I mean, we're not talking about going rock climbing and out.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I just wanted to go to barbers to their.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah, their thing.

[Bubba]

You could do that. Do they have a driving thing out there for them?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We have gone out there and ridden with people who have jeeps. And then he starts talking about suspension and a bunch of nonsense. It. I'm like, I love driving those buggies. We did it in Arizona. You know, he was battered and.

[Bubba]

Well, there's. There's plenty of dirt roads here that you don't have to pay.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I said, I'm not trying to put a snorkel on the thing. I just want to go on A trail.

[Bubba]

Now, Betty doesn't know what you're talking about when you say snorkel.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know those things that it's the

[Bubba]

breather for the engine that you put up high enough so you can get the whole Jeep in water and then

[Betty Lou]

it looks ridiculous on car. I've never even seen that.

[Bubba]

You say it kind of sticks up high. You've seen them. You just didn't know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

It's usually on a car that's never, never been in four inches of water. Some Land Cruiser.

[Bubba]

We're Talking to Kirsten McCorkle, my former. One of my former doubles tennis partners, and she's joining us here for talking and sipping and what could be a future segment on Betty. Say what? And we will be.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Kirsten, I answered all.

[Bubba]

You know, your name has always been a problem for me, but nobody's heard the outtakes right off. Well, that we have it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I think you would have it. But you called me Sparky for over a decade.

[Bubba]

Well, that was just a nickname.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, yep. Yeah, I know you don't want to talk about it, but. Oh, I do. I do have a compliment.

[Bubba]

It was men as a compliment and you took it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Compliment. It's the Lord today and you should not be lying. There's nothing complimentary about it. You are lying.

[Betty Lou]

No, Sparky was from Christmas vacation.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, it sure was. Maddie who was Sparky.

[Bubba]

No, but there's another Sparky. But we're not gonna shoo it in

[Betty Lou]

his little dimple and call him Sparky.

[Bubba]

We're not gonna. We're not going.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

He wasn't calling her Sparky.

[Bubba]

No, no, this was a different Sparky.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I know. He doesn't want to talk about it.

[Bubba]

We won't go into it here being the Lord's day.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I do have some follow up, though. To our last. My last visit. Ryan, sweet husband Ryan confirmed that it was just the two of us that had the flat tire and I was the one holding the gun and I didn't remember it.

[Betty Lou]

I was holding on and we called you. Yes.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You were not in the car.

[Betty Lou]

I told you, I was not in the car.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I was holding the gun. Have no memory.

[Betty Lou]

I don't know who I was with, but I wasn't with y'. All.

[Bubba]

But you covered me. And we changed that tire in record time because we were in a bad spot and I was getting out of there.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. And when he started telling me, it came back.

[Betty Lou]

Was I with him or who was I with?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Y' all were at home. We were going down early. Y' all came.

[Betty Lou]

Is that when I rode with Patty and I don't know.

[Bubba]

It really doesn't matter.

[Betty Lou]

It really doesn't. Yeah, but anyway, I should remember holding

[Kirsten McCorkle]

a gun because I don't love guns.

[Bubba]

Yeah, but you were riding gun.

[Betty Lou]

I don't. Yeah, she was riding your shotgun.

[Bubba]

You know that. I mean, that name has a meaning. I mean, the guy not driving had the shotgun on the stagecoach for protection. That's how it got the name. I mean, that's A real name.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I don't know, I just. I just think it's funny that you thought we needed. It was daytime.

[Betty Lou]

I've enjoyed shooting a pistol. I really have. Speaking of guns.

[Commercial Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

Betty's a good shot, which is somewhat concerning for me.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, it is.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

Vance has already warned you she'll put

[Kirsten McCorkle]

you down if you become too much of a handle. Yeah.

[Bubba]

Now I'm worried about you.

[Betty Lou]

My head and close one eye. You better watch it.

[Bubba]

Yeah, I've been worried. There's a couple of times I've been worried about Betty. And I told her, I said, I don't want to spend the retirement years going down to Wetumpka to see you in an orange jumpsuit hollering at you through the fence, you know?

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

So let's put that gun on.

[Betty Lou]

Year and a half.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

Working through a lot with some folks.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. We'll just keep her close.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Monitor him.

[Bubba]

So where have you gone in your Jeep? Have you been off road? No, not at all. Not just a dirt road with pine trees or something?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

The best I have done is I put it in four wheel drive to back out of our driveway the other day. And Ryan looked at me with a look of disgust because I was digging up the pine straw.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, no.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I was like, we're not at the ridge. Yeah, we're in wherever you are. Yeah. It's not cute. This is not landscaped. I'm backing up the driveway trying to make room for all these boats and trailers we have. And he just looked at me like, what are you doing? I said, I'm using the four wheel drive.

[Betty Lou]

I get it. We went over a stop before when we weren't in four wheel drive and we needed it. Not in the Jeep.

[Bubba]

It's in your car.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, in my car.

[Bubba]

Well, they put straw over it. I didn't see it on it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. So pine straws is tough. But somebody did leave us a duck on the Jeep and it squeaked.

[Betty Lou]

It did squeak.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I was like, never again, Quinn, squeeze that thing. I mean, just squeak, squeak, squeak all the way home. No, no, no. This is not gonna work. I get it. And he loves the ducks, but he doesn't, thank God. He doesn't like them on the dash. So he'll take. He'll put them in the console and then bring them out, line them up so we don't get many because they don't think we're done duck people. So if you don't have any on the dash.

[Bubba]

Pond. They call it the pond. Don't They.

[Betty Lou]

I have no idea.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

What are you talking.

[Bubba]

The dash. When you put ducks on it, they call it the pond.

[Betty Lou]

How'd you know that?

[Bubba]

Well, you know, I'm a jeep person.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, I told you ducks.

[Bubba]

We got one, but you can't see.

[Betty Lou]

I mean, they can't see that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

They can't see a jeep person.

[Bubba]

It was a very small pond. It was more like a puddle.

[Betty Lou]

Well, apparently.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And Kirsten, are you in a Facebook group? I mean, I bet there is a group, you know.

[Bubba]

A group? Are you kidding me? There's probably 12 dozen of them.

[Betty Lou]

Some of the opportunity to have a group. You know, there's a group.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, I need to embrace it and be in the group or I'm gonna.

[Bubba]

Speaking of groups, and we're not gonna use any names, but you have some friends that were gonna move to our neighborhood, and they had heard some rather wild tales and they wanted to call me and ask me about it, and

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I don't think I've heard about this.

[Betty Lou]

Yes.

[Bubba]

Oh, yeah, you have. Yes, you have. They heard. Listen, they heard that they were a bunch of swingers in our neigh neighborhood. And. And Betty and I was like, no, that. That's so silly. Who. I don't know how you ever heard that. But then we got to thinking, are. Are there swingers here and we're just not getting invited? Not that we'd want to participate, but, you know, everybody likes to get an invite every now and then.

[Betty Lou]

I mean, I wouldn't go.

[Bubba]

No, we're not gonna go. But that. That. We were kind of unnerved by that because we didn't know if there was something going on we didn't know about.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I don't. I don't think I knew that us. But are. Do people have pineapple doormats and things? Cuz that's your sign.

[Bubba]

That's too obvious. I think they've moved to something that

[Kirsten McCorkle]

shows you what I know must be. I'm clearly not in that group

[Betty Lou]

Saturday. And you got a pineapple in the thing. And it's on like a chicken bone. Apparently.

[Bubba]

Now, Betty, there's many locations.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh, okay. What?

[Bubba]

And plus, we'd like for them to be a sponsor. Why don't we don't come call the name to say the supermarket.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Any groceries.

[Bubba]

This is where y' all need to learn a little more about broadcasting.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, we're just drinking and having. We're doing what we would do.

[Bubba]

Y' all are sipping and talking.

[Betty Lou]

You go to any grocery store on the weekend in the produce section. And apparently I did not know this. My kids told me this. If you see a pineapple in somebody's cart, that means it's on.

[Bubba]

Well, what if you like pineapple though?

[Betty Lou]

Well, that's fine.

[Bubba]

I love pineapple.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Me too. And watermelon. What does watermelon mean?

[Betty Lou]

Watermelon doesn't mean anything. Good to buy a watermelon that I know of.

[Bubba]

It means look on the scoreboard, see who's behind.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

The problem is I don't think we know. Well, that's. Your kids are telling you. I'm just out here.

[Betty Lou]

Well, I don't.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Pineapple. Yeah.

[Betty Lou]

Depending on the kids, you know what I mean? And yeah, so it reminds me, somebody

[Kirsten McCorkle]

at high noon at the grocery store,

[Betty Lou]

9 o' clock in the morning, it's

[Kirsten McCorkle]

going to proposition you to get to swap with them.

[Betty Lou]

Well, no, that night hearing you, just.

[Bubba]

How does that work?

[Betty Lou]

I'm just going to say this, I'm

[Kirsten McCorkle]

going to say, are you going to buy me a drink first?

[Bubba]

Tell her what people were telling asking you in the supermarket.

[Betty Lou]

This is a long time ago or whatever, but you'd go get groceries at like 9am and every now and then I'd go on a Saturday most time I never did. But every now and then on Saturday I'd have to go in there and you know, you'd be in the produce section and it was always on Saturdays, these same older guys, you know, and I'm like, what? What's going on? Because I would recognize it because I'm like, well, that's that guy I saw the other day that told me my earrings look nice or something. I'm like. And then it's like, oh, I like your hair, I like your earrings, you know what, blah, blah, blah, or whatever. And I'm like, what? And so finally I mentioned it to my daughter, you know, Caitlin.

[Bubba]

And you put it all together?

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. She said, mom, they're trying to pick you up. You know what I mean? It's like the pickup thing.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I had no idea.

[Betty Lou]

At the produce section I have been

[Kirsten McCorkle]

chatting up all kinds of things and who's thinking about doing it at 9am I've already done it. I've either already done it already, early early or go do it later or way later. But at 9am I'm sure as hell not thinking about what I'm doing it with.

[Bubba]

Well, the sipping and talking segment is really off to a good start here.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I had no idea.

[Betty Lou]

No.

[Bubba]

Betty also had a friend.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I've said forever. I need a teenage daughter.

[Betty Lou]

You need Caitlyn to Clue you.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I know nothing.

[Bubba]

So Betty has a friend, and I was at lunch with him one day, and this was during the Me Too movement. Okay. And they were. They were talking about among. See, I like just. I like going and being at the table with about eight of the Betty's friends and just listening. I don't say a word. I don't want to say a word.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

When you have your own podcast, you'll do the same thing and get paid for it.

[Bubba]

And there was one particular she and some of them had said, yeah, somebody, you know, tried to pick me up one time or somebody was flirting with me. And she goes, nobody ever hits on me either. And she said, not that I would want to act on it, but at least I would like somebody to make an offer. She goes, what about. What about me? You know, she said it would make her feel better if somebody would at least hit on her.

[Betty Lou]

What about me?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I take that back. I did get hit on the other day, and I came straight home and you told. Told Ryan I was so happy.

[Betty Lou]

What did they say?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean, he.

[Betty Lou]

What did he say?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I was in that big Jeep.

[Betty Lou]

Was it in there?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I was dressed up from a graduation party, and it's rare.

[Bubba]

Oh, you had it turned up.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, it's rare. I could barely get in the Jeep. In the dress.

[Betty Lou]

In the dress. Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I need a little.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, I know you do.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We'll talk about that later. But I was getting gas, and this old geezer pulls up and his Mercedes convertible. And I mean, he pulls up right beside me at the gas station. He said, hey, how are you doing? And it made my whole day. Yeah, it made. I told Ryan, I said, I still got it.

[Bubba]

I still got it.

[Betty Lou]

I still got the old geezers that hit on me. Or a roofer. Nobody.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Or a roofer. And I'll take a whistle from a roof. And you like cat calls, whatever. I will wave and think. Because you don't know just how bad I look most days. And I'm just like, thank you, thank you. Still got it. Still got it.

[Betty Lou]

Confidence booster.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean, you know, now I'm not trying to act on it.

[Betty Lou]

I mean, I'm not even.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'm not meeting the bare minimums that I should be meeting at my own house. You know, I'm not. I'm not trying to put in any extra. And I'm sure as heck not trying to plan it in the produce section at 9am when I'm trying to go through the grocery list with these kids that are eating 20,000 calories. A day. And I might have a damn pineapple in the basket because I make a lot of smoothies. It's the only way I sneak in the veggies.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Now I'm worried about it.

[Bubba]

You know, cantaloupes can get to people. You got to watch out.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'll tell you.

[Betty Lou]

We're looking for it.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Delivery.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. Just don't go to where I'm talking about, and I'll tell you later.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I had no idea. I had no idea. So have you determined if there's swingers in this neighborhood?

[Bubba]

If there are, we're not getting invited.

[Betty Lou]

You're not going to be invited. Nah, nah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

They know who you are. No, you're not going to be invited.

[Betty Lou]

We're not going. There ain't no swears in this neighborhood.

[Bubba]

You know, they wouldn't invite me, but I think Betty would probably.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, they know she's not swearing.

[Bubba]

Listen, when I say Betty, there's a lot going there. Let me say this. Let me say this. No in the lake area, okay? I get a lot of compliments on Betty, and that's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. She's very athletic, I've told you. And she. She gets out, plays a lot of sports, and a lot of people notice

[Kirsten McCorkle]

how good she is.

[Bubba]

I know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Cute. I mean, I've told you for as long as I've known you keep. No, you're real lucky. Real lucky. Lucky. She's. She's a keeper. She doesn't sit still. She's busy taking care of everything. I said she is a. A winner.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

See, I wish I had half of the energy that she had, because I don't.

[Betty Lou]

I don't.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Not a half. But I. I'm gonna need a minute.

[Bubba]

When something happens to me, and obviously I will go first.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'll be there to vet them, I'll bet them.

[Bubba]

You talking about a hot commodity.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yes, but I'll make sure.

[Bubba]

And Betty doesn't think so. And I said, honey, they're gonna come out of the woodwork. You're gonna have people ask and what they do to begin with, you know, they'll be. Even at the funeral, they'll say, if you need anything, let me know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Light bulbs.

[Bubba]

Yeah. I call them friendly Henry.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah.

[Bubba]

You know, where they're. They're anxious to come do a little job for you. You know what I mean?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Put me in to be. I can be the guard to make sure that she doesn't, you know, Dear John. We don't want a Dear John situation. You've watched that show.

[Betty Lou]

Oh yeah.

[Bubba]

And if I'm gone, she's free biblically to do what she wants to do.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

But she's so nice though. If one of the other Dear John's. These hot Dear John's come in and then Robert Ryan. We can't have that.

[Betty Lou]

I don't know about that. Yeah, yeah, I know. Oh, I, I've seen it. Yeah, but that would be a red flag if somebody that hot would come after me.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know what I'm saying?

[Betty Lou]

Oh wait a bit hot.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'll be the.

[Bubba]

They're going to come out of the woodwork. Some of them are going to be people you didn't expect to come out of the woodwork. I'll make that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh, we're going to need a. What is that?

[Bubba]

You're going to, you're going to remember this conversation.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh my gosh, he was still right person, you know.

[Bubba]

I don't know what you're talking about now.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You're going to need a 2 code to get through, you know and I'm gonna be one of those. A two step verification if I'm in the Pinot Grigio.

[Bubba]

Have another seat.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

We can.

[Betty Lou]

Well, I mean I'm not stupid. I'm not gonna just date.

[Bubba]

Yeah, well, no, it's not about being stupid.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You're not gonna, you're gonna be grieving.

[Betty Lou]

I may go before him.

[Bubba]

Betty, you can.

[Betty Lou]

Who knows what we're gonna do.

[Bubba]

You can be a little naive on this topic. Just like the fact you don't think anybody would be coming out of the woodwork shows that you, you need. It's always good to have somebody from a different angle.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

That's right. And I.

[Bubba]

Instant replay has taught us that on one camera it looks one way. You look at another camera totally different.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I miss the swingers at the grocery store at 9am but I will be on the deer john like well I, I'm your girl.

[Betty Lou]

When I went twice in a row and they're like I like earrings. I like.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'd say she's naive.

[Bubba]

Naive. Didn't realize what was going on.

[Betty Lou]

Well no, I did find like the second that time and I'm like, well what?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

So what do you say? I'm gonna need to, I'm need to talk to Caitlyn.

[Betty Lou]

[Betty Lou]

Good. And I'm like, thanks. I b. Bathed and I walk off,

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Because you don't bathe. No. Yeah. No, probably not. Not at that first. I mean, I do.

[Bubba]

See, Betty. Betty baths and fixes up, puts her earring on.

[Betty Lou]

Well, now with the Jeep on to go play pickleball.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Now with the Jeep. I have a dreadlock.

[Bubba]

You want me to comment on that? No. And why. What's wrong with your finger?

[Betty Lou]

Nothing is wrong with mine.

[Commercial Voice 1]

I have no.

[Bubba]

We'll get a band aid for it later.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

My hair is messed. I have skin. I said this Jeep is going to bring dreadlocks and skin cancer. I mean, I.

[Betty Lou]

This weather's.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You've got to have good hoops. A good hoop in this Jeep and a good hat. I mean, get it to. Look, it is a real fine line with the Jeep. And I'm still working that out. But I mean, I'm having to buy double conditioner because the hair blowing.

[Betty Lou]

But I like Brazilian blowouts. What you need. That was the.

[Bubba]

I did not know what you were about to say.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Not a wax. No, not at all.

[Betty Lou]

Okay. No, it's a keratin treatment. It's the best thing I ever did.

[Bubba]

We're about to end this segment.

[Betty Lou]

No, that's the best thing I ever did. It lasted like a year. In my.

[Bubba]

In case you just joined us, we're calling this Sipping and Talking. Yeah, it's a trial segment, Betty. Say what?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, Wind down Sunday.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah, wind down Sunday. That's pretty good.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

All right.

[Bubba]

Kirsten McCorkle is our guest and always full of energy and topics. She has shared her life as a. As a Jeep member now.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh, gosh. It's a whole thing. I will look and see if there's a group, though. But I will say the top.

[Bubba]

There's going to be a bunch of them.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I can. You can be driving down the road and the top. You just hit a button.

[Bubba]

Do you listen? Do y' all love this? And it's. Wherever you live. It doesn't matter where you live. Live. There's a Facebook page called what's happening in Fill in the blank. Wherever you live. And it is the fun. I know, nag central. It is funny. I read it just to laugh at the people. And this is one of my favorites. When the snake season gets out.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah.

[Bubba]

Somebody will take a picture of an absolute giant rattlesnake broad back ready to snap. And they'll go, they'll go, this is in my yard. Is it dang dangerous? I don't mean you could just look at it and know it's dangerous. You know what I mean? You don't need to know what type of snake it is. It looks mean. You know, that always owns me and the people who are mad at people in the, in their neighborhood. Speeding, scooters, their kids on. Oh, yeah, it's just, it's always, there's a hundred things.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

It's always the families that have three plus children. They just have toddlers out there. Yeah. Scooters and little, little dirt bikes. Just, just, you know, free range, 30 miles per hour down the road. And then everybody is complaining about.

[Betty Lou]

Oh yeah. And they'll take a picture though of a car. Sure. With whoever it is. Yeah. That they think speeding and go. If this is your teenager, tell them to slow down or something like that, you know.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I told Max, I welcome you the minute you do something stupid. But you will because you're mine. You share my DNA.

[Bubba]

Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I said I welcome. Welcome. A public post, Caitlyn. Bring it on.

[Betty Lou]

And Hunter, probably Hunter has never really speeded, though, bless his heart. I think he would get a ticket for not going fast enough.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

He'd be so upset if he got pulled over.

[Betty Lou]

He would, he would.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

He didn't realize he was speeding.

[Bubba]

Let's say this. He is a good driver is the way we need to.

[Betty Lou]

He is, he's a very good driver.

[Bubba]

Very good driver.

[Betty Lou]

And Caitlin's a good driver too. She's like me. She's too much like me. She puts that, you know, foot on that gas and goes. You know, Betty, I drive like I live hard.

[Bubba]

You know, there's three phases to driving. Gas, brake and coast. Betty only uses two. Gas and brake. There's no coast. None.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I will say that is that I like, I am scared of heights. I don't like roller coasters. But in a car, a Jeep, I'm fierce. And the Jeep, it's not going 90. I mean, it will, it will, but it'll shake bad.

[Betty Lou]

It'll shake.

[Bubba]

So if you got a winch on the front or if you got any, have you put, you know, there's a thousand thousand accessories you can get.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

No, I don't. I have not done anything. I need a step for those few times that I am in a dress, because it's a whole.

[Bubba]

So you drive in the Jeep in the dress?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah. You don't see that primary vehicle?

[Betty Lou]

Well, there's no backup, my friend. The other option has hundreds, too. Yeah, that.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

So she.

[Betty Lou]

I don't know that she had.

[Bubba]

I've never seen you in a dress.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Oh, you've gone to many a tennis banquet. Yeah, and I go to court occasionally in a dress.

[Betty Lou]

If you need to marry a dress. I have the funeral and divorce dress, you know, that I let people borrow.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I own more dresses.

[Bubba]

What did you say? A what dress?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Funeral and divorce.

[Betty Lou]

Funeral and divorce. It's one and the same. I have three dresses. It's black, gray, and I have summer and winter.

[Bubba]

Either way, you're coming home without a spouse, Right?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yep. I have a whole closet of dresses in four different sizes. Sizes, depending on fluctuate.

[Betty Lou]

Yep. Well, I have shorts and jeans like that, so. Thank you very much. Thank you, Lake. Yeah. For adding on a few pounds.

[Bubba]

So there's your update from jeep world. Kirsten McCorkle coming to a user group near you, so.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I. I hope the group that I join can shed some light on things like the satellite. I mean, there's a lot of. A lot of disconnect with streaming with Cirrus or Spotify. There's a lot of breaks, which I'm not loving. But like I said, I have read nothing. I have not updated software. I don't even know how to use the software. There are a lot of buttons.

[Bubba]

So you gotta update. Well, and I used to be.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I used to be on top of these things. But we're in survival mode over here. Like, we're just. We bought a Jeep for the piece. Yeah. Not for the dreaming. Although.

[Bubba]

But you didn't drive it over here today. You're in it, parked right next to me.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I saw your drive up.

[Bubba]

I thought you said you didn't drive.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

There's fish food and mealworms from feeding ducks in the back, but. Yeah, it's here.

[Bubba]

Okay, good.

[Betty Lou]

There might be a turtle in the back.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You just. I know.

[Betty Lou]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bubba]

Hitchhiking.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I pit.

[Bubba]

All right, well, Kirsten, keep us updated on that and various other topics I know that you're involved in. It's always a pleasure. And we'll have to have you back for sipping and talking again.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I know. This is so fun.

[Bubba]

It's almost like we're not working.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Well, I have forgotten multiple times that we're recording.

[Betty Lou]

There's no Telling what I'm saying.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know, you come into this thinking about what you're going to say or I did the first time I was nervous. I'm not nervous this time. I've had cocktails. That's the problem.

[Betty Lou]

I'm never nervous. You know what I mean? And I just say.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

And I shouldn't say. I mean I had a. Yeah, I should be nervous that I gave your people.

[Betty Lou]

Your people.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You're something to listen to.

[Bubba]

Well, they know where to go to get a date now and

[Betty Lou]

well listen I mean.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah, I just need to know who. Who is. Who has the energy and the time to get out there and let me

[Betty Lou]

just say I never saw anybody getting really picked up. I just saw some effort going into trying to pick people up.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I'll say welco.

[Bubba]

I will say.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean I don't want my husband.

[Betty Lou]

I mean it was a. No, no, I will say it was a morale though.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean, you know, let me know that I still have it. Yeah, that's not gonna hurt my feelings. But I don't. But I don't need you to be married. I mean that's if you're wired.

[Bubba]

How far can the compliment go before it gets too far? What. What's over the line and we'll define that and then we'll wrap up fine

[Kirsten McCorkle]

line between creep and compliment.

[Betty Lou]

I don't want anybody following me around a store.

[Bubba]

I like your earrings apparently is okay.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Yeah but I don't need a man compliment.

[Betty Lou]

I like your. And you smell good.

[Bubba]

But then I think smell good means you're too close.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

If you compliment my earrings, I'm going to think you're homosexual. Yeah, I feel like I. I mean I don't know that a man.

[Betty Lou]

I've had a man tell me that at

[Bubba]

somebody appreciates part of the outfit.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

Like just say you're hot.

[Betty Lou]

Pick up the kids at the tennis courts somewhere back when they were in high school and some guy like flagged me over and said I like your earrings again. It's the hoops. He was gay. It's the hoops. No, he wasn't gay. No, he was not gay.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I need to just say you're.

[Bubba]

I think Betty's getting flagged over a lot. She doesn't know.

[Betty Lou]

One of the. One of the moms looked at me and was laughing and said, well damn, that's funny.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I mean just say you're hot. I just got the full package compliment single out the earrings. Just say, you know what, you look good. Yeah.

[Bubba]

So you can say that. That's okay. You look good.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I don't want my husband out there telling you.

[Betty Lou]

I don't want you out there telling people that either.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

But if his wife is okay with it because they're trying to position somebody.

[Bubba]

So it's okay for somebody to tell you you look good, but I can't tell somebody they look good.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You can't.

[Bubba]

I hope that's a double standard.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You can if you're friends.

[Bubba]

What about equal rights here?

[Betty Lou]

I doubt they're married. They're after something. You know what I mean?

[Kirsten McCorkle]

But if you say you look good to somebody that you know and it's fine.

[Betty Lou]

Oh, yeah. Now, if one of our friends, I'm

[Kirsten McCorkle]

gonna tell you, you look bad, too,

[Betty Lou]

and they look great or whatever, go, wow, you look really good or something. Yeah.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

If you're trying to proposition me into a housewife.

[Betty Lou]

Not like. No, no house swapping, that kind of thing. But yeah, it's something about.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I bet they are getting a Brazilian way.

[Betty Lou]

No, this is a Brazilian blowout. It's not a keratin drink.

[Bubba]

[Betty Lou]

Totally innocent Brazilian blowout, folks. It's great.

[Bubba]

There it is again.

[Betty Lou]

It's a thing. It's a name of a. I know it's a thing.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

I know, but it's just not the first thing, okay?

[Bubba]

Especially if you ask a Brazilian for it.

[Betty Lou]

Okay. No. Okay. My lady's in Watonka. She's not Brazilian, but anyway.

[Bubba]

Well, I think we've sipped and talked enough ladies for this show. We'll do this again because of God. Gosh, it's been a lot of fun. Thank you. The lovely Betty Lou, who's coming to a supermarket looking for compliments near you.

[Kirsten McCorkle]

You know one thing I love about Buffalo Wild Wings. You can get wings with any of their 26 sauces and dry rubs for takeout and delivery. That's like bringing an entire B dubs home with you, which you can't do. I tried. I've knocked down so many walls only to then be told to halt construction because I'm not. Not zoned to be a sports bar. Kind of just looks like a big pergola or something. Because of the lack of walls, at least these 26 sauces and dry rubs are available. To go Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go Sports bar.

Always the very latest going on Friday on the greens going on now you need to check to see who is performing on a certain week. Also this weekend and I'm very Excited about this because we have tickets we're going to at the Amp at the amphitheater called the Amp. We have Black Jacket Symphony. And they are doing Bon Jovi. Saw them do Journey, was it last year, year before, and it was super. I mean, outstanding. And we're looking forward to Bon Jovi. That is this Saturday night. So if you hear this this week, which is when I'm talking to you right now, is June 3rd of 2026. It will be this weekend. So we're. We're looking forward to that. Always keep up with everything. Russelllands.com they will let you know from the email. I wanted to get in a couple of these things. I told Betty that she needed to be careful saying the name of the band Pearl Jam. And I got an email from Ryan Hammer, who said. And he researched this. He said the name Pearl Jam is not generally considered dirty, although there have been rumors and jokes about it for decades. Because the words can sound suggestive to some people, that some of you people with a dirty mind. But I was trying to protect everybody. The band Pearl Jam has given different explanations over the years about the origin of their name. One early story from Eddie Vedder mentioned a relative nicknamed Pearl who supposedly made some great jam. The story later turned out to be exaggerated or partly joking. Another explanation is that the band originally chose Pearl, and after seeing Neil Young perform long improvised jam sessions, they added jam. Who knows? But I had always heard that it meant something else. So that's why I was telling Betty to go easy on it. Oh, you can't. You can't say anything nowadays. Right. Okay. Our other email, this is from Tommy and he wants to know if I'm still enjoying the Tesla car after a week. Absolutely. I'm loving. I don't have the home in charge home charger installed yet, so I have to go to the supercharger every night, charge up for the next day. Basically what I would do at home at night. But it is scheduled to be installed tomorrow, so that will make life a whole lot easier. So we'll see how that goes. This comes from Josh Bedingfield. He says, I thought the science nerd in you might go the route of choosing a name like Edison. Nick, where it's Tesla's first name. How do you say it? Nikola. Or the Enterprise. You know, maybe a starship name. You know, the whole naming thing. Got a lot of. A lot of comments and it's. They're funny. Thank you all for emailing that John Cooper, the Coop. He sent in the name Christine, which Is a good one. I had all kinds of names, things to do with white marshmallow, white lightning, you know, all that kind of stuff. Another email from Jamie Bishop, naming of the car. He says, hey, Bubba, hope you're doing well. I think you should have a contest on the name of the car and give away a T shirt or something to the winner, the name you like the best. I think that would be fun and get people involved. Well, Jamie, absolutely. If you want to email me, Bubba, Bubba on the lake dot com, send me some names for the car. I. I've like, I've already get. Got a bunch of them and we've been looking through it right now and this is not permanent because you can change it. I have gone with the name Annie, Are you okay? That's the word Annie. The letters R, R and U and then the letters O and K. Annie, are you okay? And of course you will recognize that from the song by Michael Jackson, Smooth criminal. Annie, are you okay? Are you okay? Annie? I don't know why it hit me to name it that. It's also the training words for learning cpr and I don't know it. The song was on my mind, I guess, and I just kind of went with it while there's a lot of good names out there. And as I said, the coupe had sent Christine. Wasn't that. I remember the movie. Wasn't the car possessed? Wasn't it like demonically possessed? I don't know if I want to name a car that drives itself after a demonic force. I just, you know, just personally, I don't know if I'd want to do that. I love the name of starship, spaceships, battleships, all of that. But for some reason, I just feel like a car, like a boat, should be named a female name. I don't know why I'm saying that. I have no basis for that. But I'm just. That's just kind of what I was thinking and I don't know why. I don't have an Annie in my family or anybody. I'm naming it after. It's strictly after the song. And he are okay. Are you okay? And Annie. So that's kind of where I was on that. So that is the current name, but it could be changed. It's not permanent. So for right now, it's Annie. Are you okay? I am taking all names that you want to share. Who thought we'd have so much fun naming the. The car? I have been giving a lot of test rides to people and most of them are kind of like I was when I first got one. And they're blown away at the design of it, how simplistic it is and how well it works. And it's not perfect. It's called supervised driving. So you have to keep your eyes on the road and it occasionally will will make a miscue. I will say this. I took some of my ham guys for a ride today and it did a great job going to the location and they were impressed and then going back, trying to carry them back where their car was. It made a wrong turn. So, you know, of all people, I didn't want it to mess up on was in front of the ham guys. And that was really the first time it made a navigation error. It has made a mistake in waiting too late to get over to a turn lane. It seems to want to do that at 2/10 of a mile where the lane would have been completely open at 5, 10 of a mile or half a mile. I and it waits, you know, kind of down to the last minute to get over. So I'm going to send that in as a suggestion. They get over in those turn lanes just a little bit quicker. But overall, given the miles and hours I have driven, it has operated flawlessly and I'm very impressed with it. And I don't know if that's going to be the future of all cars for all people. I think they certainly have their place. But I really think they've revolutionized the buying process and the simplicity of the whole operation. And I hope that catches on. I really do. Folks, thank you for being part of this podcast. As always. We're broadcasting from the Melio Studio. I mentioned my email address. Bub at Rick. No, no use that one anymore.

When you go to these charging stations and some of y' all have other EVs and you go to other types of charging stations, it really doesn't matter. This. This is for all of those. I'm not really familiar with the etiquette of the charging station. So I pull up to the charging station, I get out, I plug up, I get back in my car. And one of the things I love about it, you can watch tv. So I've been catching up on episodes of Skinwalker Ranch, Seinfeld, things like that. It really makes the 20 minutes of charging go pretty quick.

[Theme Song Singer]

Quick.

[Bubba]

Sometimes I kind of want to sit there and finish the episode before I have to drive off. But other cars will come in and park to charge. And some of them are very impressive. I mean, I'll look at them, you know, they're different colors, different format, different models, so to speak, and you see somebody sitting in the car. Well, are you. Do you. Are you supposed to ignore that person, or can you give them a thumbs up? Hey, I like your ride. Should you interact? Should you leave them alone? I. I don't know. It seems like just my initial feelings on the charging stations. People tend to be a little standoffish. Now, I know you're out there in public, and there's all kind of weirdos out there. I got that. And you don't want to, you know, but I mean, if you're a. If you're a Tesla owner, it's a. It's a club, you know, it's. There's a brotherhood there. You know, kind of like Kirsten was talking about with the Jeeps. You know, we all wave at each other. But, you know, there was. There was a car pull up, pulled up next to me and the Charger the other day, and I wanted to roll the window down and tell them, you know, what a cool ride it was. And I think I startled them when I told him I like their car. And I didn't mean to do that. It was just. I'm Just trying to be friendly. So the etiquette of charging stations. I'd like to see us be a little more jovial. I mean, I understand if you won't be left alone to watch an episode. Maybe you're. They're watching an episode of something in their car. I don't want to bother them, but at least while they're getting out and plugging up to go, hey, like your ride or man, that's a slick, you know, car. I like that color.

[Commercial Voice 3]

Whatever.

[Bubba]

I mean, is that okay, Somebody help me out with that. I don't want to be a charging station, you know, weirdo or something, but I also want to be nice and friendly and honestly, if you're driving a Tesla, I mean, why shouldn't you be happy? I mean, what, what kind of problems you got? You know what I'm saying? You're ahead of the game. So if, hey, if you're breathing, you're ahead of the game. You know, I have the X on my wrist many days to remind me. I'm just thankful to be here, here if you saw the movie that that was in. So let me know if that is, you know, the etiquette on that. I'm a little. I'm a little unsure of what I ought to be saying or not saying. I don't want to be out of line, but also don't want to be standoffish. Not my. It's not my style. So I'm a little more engaging usually. Oh me. I've got a couple of other stories I want to talk about. We don't have time on this podcast. Recently had quite an episode at a drive through pickup window I have to tell you about. Unbelievable. But I want to do it justice. And we don't have time on this podcast. We'll catch it on a future podcast. Folks, thank you so much. We appreciate you listening. We appreciate you supporting and spreading the word about the podcast. It is doing great.
