Episode 26 (00:02.606)
What's up, what's up? Hey, Priscilla. Hey, Loren The look, the intense look that we both went from staring at the screen to whipping both of our heads around and made eye contact. I don't know how we didn't just burst into laughter. That was amazing. Just a stare down. Are you going to go? I'm not going to go. I'll go if you don't go.

The last one, we both were on top of it and both jumped in at the same time. And now this time we're like, nope, gonna let the other person do it. But we both did it. The politeness of both of us to just shut the f**k up and wait for the other one to go. Yeah. And that's why we're good friends. Yes. Because we try to wait for the other one. Try. It's either we're both on the same page, though, because we both try to start or we both wait for the other one to start. It took us a while to not talk over each other the last one, too. I was still like...

trying to sync up with you, but like, sync out of it with you. And I was still talking over and I was like, God, just forget what I said. What'd you say? We're both really bad about talking over one another. We get so excited. I mean, you can't shut me down when I'm excited. No. And you can't for you either. no. I'm on a whole track like it's why we both squirrel. You're on a track. There's no taking you off of it. You can veer.

Yeah. To the right or the left. Yeah. But there is no, let me pick you up and put you right back on track. No, thank you. I'd like to stay here. Does not exist. Okay. So funny. A little bit of a funny story. I keep getting notifications on my watch and it's driving me crazy. So we have a camera at our front door and I get an alert every time there is motion.

at the camera and you can like reset the sensitivity and everything, but we have it to where it's drilled in and it's good. We like it. There is a nest of hornets right behind the camera. Why is it still there? Well, so Jeff got everything to spray them, but he said it's best to spray them at nighttime because at nighttime they all come home.

Episode 26 (02:11.086)
So he wants to take them all out at once so that they don't come back. So he keeps, he was waiting for them to all come back. So he was going to spray them at nighttime. However, we're in shutdown mode every day this week because it's been a week and we keep forgetting. And I don't remember that they have to be sprayed until I get the g*****n notification. And then if you pull up the camera, they're literally like, you can see them fly in front of the camera.

So, you know why it's also good to do it at night? Why? So they don't remember Jeff's face as he does it. They have good memories. Do you know how I know this? How do you know this? Because I keep trying to dive bomb my dad. He can swear to it that like they have good memories or something because whenever he like goes for a nest or goes for like one just like roguely flying around the garage. Yeah. It just like...

comes back at him on different days. It just comes back. And so, yeah, we have this thing where we're like, nah, they got good memories. So like you better sneak attack and they got to die. They got to die that moment. Do not leave it alive because it'll come back. Dang, that's good to know. Yeah, they're in a spot that it's going to make it difficult to spray them because they essentially are going to use the camera as a shield. So...

I feel like it's going to be a whole ordeal and maybe you can like gas them out. Like maybe kind of a try. You got to come up with something that can like fasten like some Tupperware around the camera for a while. that's a good point. But you could totally guess them out that way. That's a good point. Mm hmm. okay. Yeah. Yes. I left my house this morning and there's it's a death trap because.

There's a hornet's nest and it's like right above our heads when we're walking out the house. I hate that. Yeah. And then so as I was like, OK, there's that. And I'm walking out. I see that there is a cicada leaving its exoskeleton right on the side of my house. And then I noticed that there is a enormous wolf spider. And I'm saying like, E-E-E-E

Episode 26 (04:30.382)
Normous. So, Reeves is at the point where he likes to walk out the front door by himself. He wants to walk. He doesn't want you to carry him. So, Jeff was going right behind him and I was the last one out the door and I was like, okay, let's move, let's move. And then that's when I realized that this... And he kept... I Sh** you not. It was that big around all of his legs.

So like the palm of my hand and he kept trying to climb up my house because he was also in panic mode like f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k. These big things are going to get me. Yeah. And he kept falling. So he would get probably as high as my knee and then he would fall. Well, our front door, like the storm door doesn't close very well. And Jeff was like, latch it. And I was like, this is it. Like it's broken. There is no latching. So I Jeff didn't say anything about him getting in the house. So I'm hoping that.

He got him before the spider got in my house. I'm sure he got him. Yeah. I'm sure. It was like the freaking museum of bugs. Yeah. Leading my house this morning. Heck no. and there's a cicada killer that made its burrow or whatever it's called in my front yard. Wait, what the hell is a cicada killer? Okay. So you know the big cicada bugs? Yeah. There is a cicada killer.

that kills the cicadas. For fun? It's like literally their job. What? So it looks like a giant... They look like a hornet or something? Yeah. So it's red and black. terrifying. And it's huge. They're so big. Do they have like a stinger or something? Yes. So Jeff did all his homework because he was out mowing the lawn and he was like, there's this mound of dirt.

and I don't know what it's from. Well, then he was watching it one day and he saw that it was the cicada killer. So they literally go in under the ground. They make like their little burrow. And then it's the females. So the females have stingers and the males don't have stingers. Jeff said that the females are like mud daubers and that they literally don't give a s**t about people at all. And the only...

Episode 26 (06:46.67)
way that they will sting you as if you literally pick them up. Okay. But that's a female. Males don't have stingers, but they're the ones that will chase you. Like they do have a stinger. But like how the f**k are you supposed to know that unless you're my husband and did all this research? Yeah. So he's over here like, yeah, yeah, yeah, come at me, go away. Yeah. But like any other person would be like crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap,

You can hear these ones from quite a distance because they're so big. But the females though, Jeff watched him. He's like, she's got four cicada killers or cicadas. And I was like, what? He's like, yeah, I watched her. So she'll like go catch them and like drag them back into her burrow. that's horrifying. Like we watched one this morning. She was it this morning? Was it yesterday morning? Might've been yesterday morning. She literally had one on the column of my house and.

It wasn't dead and you could see her stinging it until it died. my God. So then she drags it in her burrow and Jeff says that she lines her burrow with the skeletons of the cicada killers and then she lays her eggs in their body. How morbid. Yeah. Wow. So is that not the craziest thing ever? That's fascinating. Right?

Makes me a little sad for the cicadas because as far as I know, they don't do anything besides make noise. And it's become my white noise. Yes, I enjoy the noise. But I mean, I feel like that's a Texas thing. Mexico thing too. I mean, I hear them over there too, but like, it's just, it's always been my white noise. Like it makes me love the summer. Yes. Without the cicadas, it would just be a crappy hot time. But the cicadas are like the, yeah.

This is the time and then you just go and do your thing and yeah, you're a little hot and you get over it. But like that noise is just like the everyday white noise. Yep. So that makes me a little sad for them because they ain't doing nothing to anybody. They're just like... Living their life. Living my life. I don't attack anybody. I just leave my exoskeletons everywhere. Yes. And Reeves will be like, eww bug.

Episode 26 (09:03.79)
I'm like, no, that's not really a bug. It's the leftovers of a bug. But there's no actual bug in there right now. So ill is correct. Yes. But the animal world is just amazing to me. They are fascinating. I like learning these kinds of things about our planet and our animals. I loved animal planet. That was my shit back in the day.

I don't think I have the attention span for it. There's many things I didn't have the attention span for. Animal Planet, Reading Rainbow. What? Yeah, something about Reading Rainbow, man. I don't know why. I really wish I could explain to you why I just get icky feelings when I hear the Reading Rainbow song. I don't know why. I never knew why. Huh. Don't know.

Do you like reading or do you not like reading? I'm indifferent. If it's something that I can actually hook my attention span to, I like it. Otherwise, I hate it because I'm bored. So, I don't think that actually had much to do with it. I liked reading as a kid. And now, if it's a murder mystery type deal, like some kind of mystery, I'm super down for it. But otherwise, I'm like, I don't really care for the story. So...

Yeah, I don't know. But like, yeah, so reading Rainbow, Animal Planet, just kind of like historical stuff. I just was never really that into. I know, I'm sorry. It just it doesn't catch my attention. But Bill Nye the Science Guy did it every single time. Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the Science Guy Bill Nye the Science Guy. Yeah, I don't have a vibrato in me. I was going to turn my head, but.

then you would have lost the audio. I love Bill. Bill Nye the Science Guy, always great. And the irony is that I'm terrible at science. I'm not the greatest. I'm really bad. Science is backwards in my head, physics specifically. So I was always getting everything wrong because I just, I don't know, I couldn't get things straight in my head. So it fascinates me. I think that's the thing. It fascinates me, just not good at it. Yep.

Episode 26 (11:28.334)
So that was the only thing that could really grab my attention span back then. But Cole definitely loves all the animal stuff, history stuff. Apparently he likes boats. I keep seeing History Channel boat stuff pop up on our TV. Like Titanic stuff? No, just like other historical ships. Yeah. So thank God we have him for that. That's cool. He can pass that on to our children that will have terrible attention spans.

and they'll have that from me. They can be little spazzy kids, it's okay. Yeah. Somebody's gotta do it. Someone. Okay, I'm about to bring you to my first thing. Are you ready? I'm so ready. Okay, because I'm excited. I'm excited.

Haunted bucket list? Haunted bucket list! What? Okay, so I saw this as an Instagram post and immediately was like, yeah, I'm gonna find that later. Like I saw it earlier today. Dude, this is so cool! It is so stupidly cool. Okay, so it is a wooden map that is really pretty and framed with all 50 states. Did I? And that's the wrong number.

No, it's not. You're right. That was more now. What do you mean you think it's more? They added more states. When? It's 50 states, Priscilla.

Don't, you're not, don't you f**k with me.

Episode 26 (13:11.95)
It is 50, thank God. God damn it, Priscilla. Okay, then somebody somewhere said something and I only grasped onto a fraction and my brain just went somewhere with that. That's okay. Where I was like, what? It's not 50? I don't know. Anyways. What is it? Like Puerto Rico or something that they were talking about? Maybe I'm thinking of those bonus ones. As you were. There's 50 states.

On the map that Priscilla is talking about, they're not all to the correct scale because they did add Alaska and Hawaii off to the side and Alaska.

But they got to do what they got to do. So each state is on there. And then there's a little hole cut out where you can put a little wooden ghost into. it's so cute. And so each ghost goes in as you go and visit the location. This is so cool. So next to the little ghost, it has a name and it looks like it's etched in the wood. I would assume that this was made on like a CNC and then they like

etched, like burnt the shapes and the names of all of these haunted places on each of the states. This is so fricking cool. I think we need one. Yeah. And I think we need to start taking trips. my God. And we can bring our men with us and they can join if they'd like. Yes. But we definitely need to like start visiting haunted places. I've been to the Driscoll. Lucky.

It's in San Antonio? Yeah. I've been there. I stay the night there. That place is haunted as f**king s**t. I haven't been anywhere. Nowhere? I don't think so. Nowhere haunted? I mean, nowhere on a map, just family things. In my own home. You have a haunted house in your own home? I'm pretty sure.

Episode 26 (15:15.022)
How are we going to get to Alaska? Not once, but twice. Although my work might pay for me. Okay, so if my work pays for me to go up to Alaska, I will fit you in my suitcase. And we will go. Or how about we just do one of those Alaskan trips and make that a pit stop? Like those cruises. no, Jeff won't go on a cruise. No? Nope. Absolutely not. Does he want to find me to stay there? Does he want to find me to stay there?

All right, you bus around. We'll meet you there. man. I've never been on a cruise. They're fun. I think depending on what you go on, I've only been on one, but I had a good time. I mean, there's not a lot to do. So like you pick one that has things that you like to do. I'm happy if you give me drinks and shows and food and food. And then like if I can go like just relax anywhere. Yeah. I don't have a problem with that.

my brother -in -law and sister -in -law went on one, I want to say not too long ago, I think within this year. And he had posted pictures of just how black it is when you're out in the ocean. Yeah, it's horrifying. It's terrifying. And then he would post pictures and like there's no land at all as far as I can see. And I was like... You just don't think about it. That's all.

Just don't think about it. Just remember, people do these things all the time. Also, have you seen the Titanic, bro? Yeah, but do you remember how long ago that was?

No, it's different now. This is true. Things are different now. back to the map. This thing is cool as shit and when I fully support, you want to go to the Dumas brothel? Yeah, I want to go to the Dumas brothel so that we can show up and say we're at the dumb ass brothel. my goodness. Do you know that my mom watched that episode and she just texted me in all capital letters, dumb ass. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Episode 26 (17:23.598)
She thought it was the greatest thing ever. It is. Because it is. We need to print those on shirts. I'm here with Dumas. And the arrow. And then the other shirt should say, no, you're the Dumas.

Episode 26 (17:42.382)
Dumas brothel! That's amazing! historic downtown Deadwood! that's pretty cool. Rocky Canyon. Mountain Meadows Memorial. That sounds like it might be a cemetery. I'm sorry, the Jerome Ghost Town. Just a straight up ghost town. Let's go. Arizona.

All of this, all of this. I'm so just on board. This is so cool. Whaley House Museum. I've never heard of that one. I think I've heard of that one. Can we go to the Winchester Mystery House? That is on my bucket list. It is so much on my bucket list. I want to go so fucking bad. I'm telling you, why don't we get this? Why don't we start setting group trips and we just fucking do it.

We can start off with what's nearby. Yeah. Then we'll expand the Driscoll.

I'm on board. Let's do it. So yeah, this is a win. Yeah. Haunted bucket list. it's on an, is it Etsy? Yes. Okay. It's on Etsy. it's $105, which what size is it? Do they have different sizes? Do they have different colors? All they have maps and for, yeah. So they have different backings. So you can do natural wood.

Walnut satin, dark walnut satin, black satin, map and frame. You can do like a natural wood or a matte white. And then as for size, like I'm not on, I'm not really seeing. There we go. It jumped out at me. It's not too big. No, it's not at all.

Episode 26 (19:38.414)
I feel like it's the perfect size. Can you go to the other pictures so that I can see some of the other colors? Because I think I see black. You can't have a haunted bucket list and not have black on there. I agree. I do agree with that.

I don't hate that one, but I like the black better. Yeah, the dark walnuts, okay. no. Ew. No, no, don't do the natural walnut. Gross. Yeah. Yeah, that one's nice. wait, maybe that's walnut stain. I think I said satin. you might've said satin, but I also read it as satin. So the plain one was a natural, and that one's like, meh. And then this one I think is abbreviated...

What? A mirror? Walnut? Well, it's abbreviated so American. I don't know. I didn't see the little period. Yeah, that would be American. Yeah, walnut stain. So it's lighter. I like the black stain. Yeah. Just look at it. It's beautiful. Pretty solid. And the little ghosts are all white. Yeah. This is so cool. I'm a huge fan. I think they did great. it looks like people really love it too. Yeah.

Wow, there's a lot of purchases. Well, so I think people purchase all their other maps as well. okay. Because they make other kinds of maps. excuse me. So from this shop, there's a stadium map so you can visit all the football stadiums. That's cool. Let's see. they have one of just like the 50 states. that's fun. So you can go visit all of them and mark that off also. That's cool.

It looks like they price them all similarly. this one's... Football. Football, bowl, stadiums. So another one, I think, just way bigger and fancier, I guess, because it's $275. Yeah, they do a lot. They do a lot, a lot. These are cool. Yeah, they get really creative with all of these. what's the one with the water? What's that one? This one?

Episode 26 (21:53.55)
Yeah. Fifth anniversary gift wooden map of any city in the world. Dude. So this one's just because this is on the water, but I guess they would do it without the water if needed. That's so... On the tiny, tiny little heart, wherever you need it to be. They got all kinds of symbols. and you can get it engraved.

That's fun. That's really cool. wow. So this is, I think, a different person, though. This one's called different maps. I get lost and I love maps. Like, I feel like I'm so nerdy. Like, I did not do very good in... my goodness. What was that class called? geography? Yeah, I didn't do very good in that class. I didn't either. I don't know where anything is ever. No. I thought... what did I do? I made a...

a mistake with Indiana. Was it Indiana? I can't remember. Indiana, Illinois? No. I got it confused with India. Well, it takes India to spell Indiana. Yep. And then the teacher got mad at me and pretty much told me I was an idiot. that's mean. Yeah.

But I didn't do very good in that class, but I love maps. I love them. I have the Lego map. Love that thing. I have a big, huge wooden map on my wall. I love maps. I just think they're so cool, so fascinating. All the places that you can see. And it just looks so cool to me. So yeah, I am here for this haunted map. I think it's cool as s**t. And I am on board with going to these places. Please, seriously. We gotta...

We got to make an effort because we can go to a lot of these places. Yeah, Hawaii and Alaska might be a bit higher. A little bit of a stretch. We can save those for last. Yeah, when we are working for the city and we don't give a shit about taking time off of work. And our kids are grown in. And our kids are grown in. Out of the house and we can go with that then. Yeah. Meanwhile, we're over here like, yeah, let's go on this road trip. I'll take my toddler. To a haunted place? Yeah, sure. That's fine. I mean, like I said.

Episode 26 (24:16.014)
The guys can go do their own thing and we just go visit the place and then they'll catch up with us because I don't think I will want to go. The ghosts will go away from my child. They'll be like, no, he's too fucking scary. We're out. We bouncing. Who bought this Texas tornado? We out. Fuck that shit. Love it. OK, cool. I'm glad this is a win because I saw this and...

I was like, she's going to love this. Yeah, I love haunted stuff. Me too. I don't like scary movies, but I love haunted stuff. I like scary movies if they've got a good story, but not if it's all about being gory. Then it's not really my thing. I love ghosts. I love spooky. I love... So I don't know how on board you are with ghosts and stuff and family members coming and visiting you after they've died and stuff. Yeah, yeah. So we...

and my parents' house, you could always smell my Nana when she would come visit. Like you could smell her. And then, like when her husband would come visit, you would smell his, pipe because he smoked pipe, but like stuff like that. And then we had a dog that my mom swears she heard walking down the hallway at her house after he had passed.

Like that kind of stuff. I'm totally, I am totally on board with that stuff. And I've been touched by a ghost. I totally was, it was Halloween and we were at a haunted restaurant in a town that I live in and a ghost touched me on the knee. So at this place, there's like four ghosts that like have lived and been in that area. One was like,

bride that her groom left her on her wedding day. So if you go into the bathroom, you can hear her crying. And my God, look, I have goosebumps. And then there's a man, I don't remember the man's story, but he likes to flirt with all of the girls at anybody that goes to that restaurant. And he always touches them on the knee or the shoulder. And my nephew had gone under the table and I was like, Jason, stop, stop touching me. Stop touching me.

Episode 26 (26:35.086)
And then I lifted up the table cloth and was like, to my sister -in -law, where is Jason? And she was like, he went outside. And I was like, he wasn't under the table touching me. She's like, no, he's been outside for a good while. So he touched me. The ghost touched me because who else was under there touching me? Nobody. Yeah. So, yeah, I am fully in support of anything ghosty and spooky. Yeah. Because meanwhile, Cole will be like,

Not real. They are real. My dad is have to see it to believe it. Yeah. And Cole's like that too. So I'm like, I believe that's okay. I believe. Yep. Love it. I love it so much. Yay. Okay. And on that note, I'm going to move on to your thing. Okay. There you go. I bring to you. What is this? Pres sure washer water.

broom. Okay, so this is just the head to the pressure washer. So if you go down to like, yeah, there's a video if you want to watch it, or there's like this picture. So it goes as an attachment for your power washer. I thought this was so stinking cool. Because I don't know if you've ever power washed anything. But sometimes like the vibrations can like kind of hurt your hands. This is a little wheelie bar.

I mean, that's the best way to explain it is it's literally a bar with two wheels on each end. And you can do like your driveway. But my biggest thing was you can do the underside of your car. Yeah. So the video looked like it was starting to show them this photo, too. So like you can change the direction so that it can either be pointing down at the floor or upward so you could stick it underneath something like your car. Yes. It can wash the undercarriage or whatever. Yep.

that's pretty fricking cool. Right. I was on board with this immediately because so not so much right now, because Jeff doesn't do a lot of, off road driving, but like when he worked old field, my goodness, girl, he would come home and it would rain and my driveway would have the perfect outline from his truck, from just all of like the cleats and everything that washed off his truck. But,

Episode 26 (28:57.486)
The back way that I take to and from daycare, there's a dirt road and they had the dirt road under construction. Like they took everything up and graded everything down. So it was dirt. Well, in the summertime, it's fine. Like it's not a big deal, but it rained one day. I didn't get to tell you this story. Okay. So it had rained and I didn't think anything of it. And I started driving and it's like, okay.

slippery and slidey. Okay, I can handle slippery and slidey. Not a big deal. So I'm like fishtailing, having like the greatest time on my way to work in the morning on basically off -roading on my way to work. But then there was this low spot and it was no more slippy slidey. It was a sinky. I was sinking in like really deep and

I mean, it's a back country road, so there's no shoulder. Yeah. And it's a low spot. So there is a water runoff in that area because there's a pond on one side and there's drainage on the other side. Well, there was a freaking person in a g*****n Mercedes freaking the f**k out. And it was one of those situations where I was like, if you stop.

we're not getting out of this. You just got to keep going. I was like, keep going. I was motioning to them like, keep going, keep going. Because if you stop, we're f**ked. Well, then they started to slide into me. And I was like, my goodness, I am literally about to wreck my car. Jeff was traveling. So it's not like he could have come and saved me. And I was like, my goodness, I don't know if my brother -in -law is is home to come bring his truck to get me out. The construction workers were nowhere in sight because it was raining. So I was like, f**k.

F**k, f**k, f**k, f**k. So I am like watching them like, please Mercedes, please don't be a d**k. Please don't freak out. I know this is not your cup of tea because you're on a back road that you don't belong on right now. That is also a wooded area and the wooded area right where they were driving comes into the road.

Episode 26 (31:04.302)
So they were freaking out about the wooded area, getting scratches on their car. But I was like, would you like some scratches on your car or would you like my car in your car? Yeah. Like make up your mind. So they finally got their shit together and I had just enough momentum to get myself out. my God. Had I not, I literally would have been in mud up to my shins. That's crazy. It was wild. So got out of that low spot, keep driving. And it was that thick mud that just like...

onto everything so I could hear everything clunking and junking and everything on my car as I was driving. I was like, my goodness. When I made it to the office, I looked like I was fucking thought -hunting. Like my whole car had so much mud just caked on it.

And it did sprinkle a little bit that day. And when I left and got to work the next day, there's a perfect outline of where I had parked because there was so much mud. So when I saw this, I was like, my God, could have used it. I could have totally used it. I don't think all of the mud has even gotten off my car as of yet. Dang. Even with all the times that I run it through the car wash, just because the car wash, this has that thing that goes underneath. And I feel like the car wash doesn't do the greatest job when it comes to washing the undercarriage. They're not trying down there.

Cause I mean, that is more of a, you take it to the stall and wash it yourself, not the drive through ones. Yeah. But I think that this is cool. I think you could use it for more than just, like I said, your car. You can use it on your driveway. I feel like you probably could use this with even on your house. That's what I was wondering. I was wondering if like you could run it up the wall and just angle it. I feel like you could. Inward. I mean, you're not going to get very far because you can only go at an arm's length. Yeah.

But I mean, you have the stick and I wouldn't be surprised if they had like an extender. And I feel like my house isn't two stories, so I would be able to wash my house. That's true. Yeah. Same. I could do it too. I like it. I think it's really cool. So this is just like the pressure washer, water broom attachment.

Episode 26 (33:16.654)
So you need all of the other stuff for the power washer. But like if you already have the power washer, it's really not a bad deal because it's like $54. Right? $55 and you can get it at Home Depot. I saw it was on Amazon. I would recommend shopping around and checking prices of places because I think it was more expensive on Amazon than it was on Home Depot, which is kind of surprising because that's very rare. If you go down further, do they have?

See, it has all kinds of cool attachments. It's Ryobi, if we didn't already say that. Yeah, and then Ryobi always does that thing where they try to make everything handy to itself. So one attachment can work so many different ways, that whole thing. That's neat. I like it. I like it a lot. I feel like this is how you know that you're a grown -up, because you're excited over an attachment for a g*****n pressure washer. just you wait till my next product. really? I'm so excited.

Episode 26 (34:17.806)
I mean, are we done here? I do want to see just like a couple of reviews. The reviews look really good. It looks like a lot of people are happy. Like 380 people put five stars. That's really good. Out of 629, like 87 % recommend this product. That's really high. Yeah, that's really good. That means I would assume that anyone that's unhappy, probably either user error or just like,

you know, didn't end up with something they thought it was going to do. I mean, majority of them either don't have any comment and it's just one star or the one person that goes garbage, garbage, garbage. Like, OK. wait, did the Ryobi respond? It says, hello, Daniel. It sounds like you're disappointed with your water broom. And we're sorry to hear that.

Would you mind sharing more with us at reviews at RyobiTools .com? We'd be happy to see what we can do to turn this around. Wow. I'm sure that's like their every, no, they actually change it up by person. Wow. Look at that. One person put one star and said, no, where, yeah, no, where did it indicate you need their power washer to hook up?

to it, not worth it, especially if you don't need a power washer by Home Depot customer. What? So they didn't understand that they needed the full power washer. They thought that for $55 they were getting either the whole thing or they thought that, I mean, they've probably maybe never used a power washer before, so they didn't understand what all it took. If you thought that you were going to get a power washer for $55.

I don't think you understood what was happening. I mean, it could definitely just be someone who's like never used to them before. So they just didn't understand when you're when you're in it and you've seen prices and you have something like, you know, you know what it takes and you're like, yeah, no one would never be sold for that much. But if you're new to it and you just see this photo, it's like, yeah, all that together. Cool. Let's go.

Episode 26 (36:34.894)
unless he meant that he wanted to hook it up to another power washer and didn't understand that he had to have their power washer. Is that what he's saying? I don't know. It doesn't really specify. I mean, OK, I could read it that way. Now that you say it like that, because it says, where did it indicate you need their power washer? Yeah. Yeah, that would suck. That would actually really like.

I would see why they would do it because they want you to buy all their products. I see that. But a lot of these items are compatible with other products. So I wonder what kind of, they just happen to have one that doesn't work. Yeah. I mean, it seems here that like, Ryobi tried to respond back. They did. And they're like, hey, this should work with this kind and you know, whatever else you have and blah, blah, blah. So I don't know. They tried. It's cool that they try to like help people when they're unhappy.

But no, this is really cool. It looks like people really like it and it looks like it works. And that's usually all I need to go forward with something. Power watching is so satisfying to me. But also, I like that this has multiple streams to do things because sometimes it does get so exhausting and your hand starts to hurt from the vibrations just from the power of the machine.

I played with my grandpa's one time and I just scribbled, started scribbling. Cause I was like, how, how my hand is going to fall off. I like that. I was wondering how well it works. Like that whole undercarriage to the floor. Like I wondered if it would accidentally maybe like move upwards or downwards too easily. But it looks like they have an official like no, not nozzle, but like a switch. Like it.

clearly indicates where it says this side up and then next to that it'll say undercarriage or water broom. So that's really cool. They made it foolproof. With like just the readability. They didn't try to make it too complicated with symbols and arrows and all this stuff. That's true. I like that. They made it Priscilla proof. I like it. Good job. Thanks. I want one now. I bet you do. I'll borrow it.

Episode 26 (38:46.446)
I do. I want it so bad. You borrow my Ninja Creamy and I borrow this. Yeah, no, I just got to convince Jeff that we needed a power washer. For what? Not really anything specifically, just so that I can play with it. It's for fun. Yeah. It's called cleaning outside. Yeah, let's just drop $700 for fun. Fine. Or we go on a road trip. Pick one. Okay. I will bring you to my last thing. Are you ready? Yes.

Uhhhh

So this thing is really, really cool. It's like this kind of square shaped container. OK. And outside of the square shaped container comes out this I'm going to call it like a little shelving system. And it has all of these. The heads. Huh? The heads. I was going to call it that. I just wasn't sure if that was the right term. Nice. All these heads.

for all the kind of compatibility that you could need. And then inside of that comes out a screwdriver that is electric. Can you go to the fourth picture?

Episode 26 (40:16.142)
50 pieces. Heads, bits, same same. Sorry. Yeah, so it comes with like 50 pieces, all these bits. It's awesome. It even comes with like some tweezers inside. And this like little spatula thingy. Yeah, it's really cool. Dang. And it's charged by USB -C. nice. And so like it's all magnetic too. So like...

Let me see if I can find... Let me play the video real quick. Okay. Hold on.

Episode 26 (41:29.39)
Dude. How cool was that? That's so fucking cool. So I got this for myself. You did? I did. this is like right up your alley. Okay. So it's a tweezer and a pry bar. That's the other thing that's in the, with the 50 bits. This is so cool. It has like a little, magnet, magnification zone. Magnetizing. There. Thank you. Magnetizing, little zone. That's so cool. This is like, my goodness.

for anything technology that you could even imagine. Honestly, and it's more than technology. It's anything household wise that you just got to go replace something, move something, whatever. Because it's electric, it has some torque to it. So it really helps you at least get to that endpoint where if you need to put more force into it, you totally can. But it takes away just the endless twisting of something that's like...

Okay, I'm being a little lazy. I don't really feel like doing that right now. So I'll do something else. And then, yeah. So I don't know. I liked it because I thought it would make some house stuff a little easier. Yeah, for sure. And then I loved it as soon as it showed up. So then I bought one for my dad for Father's Day. nice. Yeah. And then that became awesome because I sent it with like a little note and everything. And he texted me, he goes, how did you know I was looking at this? Shut up. No way. I'm not kidding. I was like, I didn't even know.

But that's how you know I'm your daughter. That's amazing. Yeah. No, it has like smaller bits for all of like, that's what I mean by like technology wise, like anything phone, anything like electronic, like even the iPhone, which has special. I was shocked by that. Yeah. So they thought that part through that. That was really good. But like, I love it because it's all magnetized. So when I say that, I mean, like it's magnetized and spring loaded. So you first like press down.

on the chamber inside the container and it all kind of like bounces up. And from there you can like pull everything out or you can just pull the electric screwdriver out. And that little dude is magnetized. So like once you pop him in, he stays in. Like you just got to like spring load him back in, but like the magnets hold them in and it's just all one piece. It's really cool. Really compact. Like it's something I'm considering maybe like just leaving my car.

Episode 26 (43:52.366)
Wow. For when needed. Yeah. Cause like that could actually be, you know, useful. You never know. Yeah. It looked really, really small from the videos. I was surprised at how compact it is, especially with 50 bits. Yeah. And then at the end of the day, like what, let's say worst case it's not charged. It doesn't mean it's useless. You can still use it for its original use. You're not wrong. You're not wrong at all. This is cool. This is super cool. And then like you can, like you were saying, it has a magnetizer.

So you can go and like make sure that your bit is magnetized to go like pick up the screws and make sure it's all sticking together. I feel like this would be something so cool to get Jeff up because of like all the toys that we have. Exactly. Batteries, replacements, all this stuff. The amount of batteries that we go through in our household is ridiculous. And what a freaking pain it is to one, go find the smallest little screwdriver you can find. Yep.

because you know, it's a teeny tiny screws. So some of the toys now come with a screwdriver. So, yeah, so like that's really cool because there's like this little whale toy that we have in the pool, the pool, the bathtub. It's a pool to him. Yeah, it is a pool to him. In the bathtub and those little whales came with their own screwdrivers, which I was so grateful for. And then there was another toy that came with a screwdriver as well. And it was...

a saving grace that it came with that little one because it's such a weird odd size. Like it's not compatible with anything else. Maybe this one has something compatible to it. I bet you, I bet you it might. Yeah. That's cool. I'll show it to you after the pod. Yeah. But yeah, it's really cool. I really liked it. So I was like, that's pod worthy because that was like, I...

had seen it pop up probably like on TikTok or something multiple times, never gave in and then the price reduced. nice. I saw that it was marked down. I think it was only like 69 something. So right now, 69 .97 and then they have a 20 % coupon. nice. So that right there just like makes it 10 times better. Heck yeah. So I don't know. I'm a fan.

Episode 26 (46:12.43)
I think it worked really great for me. Have you used it a lot? I haven't had a whole lot of things lately to use it on, but I did test it out on something that needed batteries. My God, it made it just like a breeze. I bet. It made me so happy. Wow, the price has increased slightly. I guess it's picking up on popularity.

Probably because of this podcast. Adoi. Done. You're right. But yeah, so I thought I'd bring it. I thought I'd show you. I thought you'd like it. Yeah, this is really cool. I like it. I totally would buy one. Man, this would be perfect in like a junk drawer. yeah. I think that's also why it made me happy because I was like, man, that's like the, that's an all in one tool. So like, you're just seeing one spot. Yeah.

And you can just keep using it, put it back and you're done. Charge it up. Whatever. Sorry, I cut you off. Those other one in, I don't know if you had these, but the little hammers that had the screws drivers in them. Yes, I do remember that. Aren't those the best? They really are. my goodness. My mom had one growing up and I later found out that her grandpa gave it to her.

And like, I used to play with that thing all the time and use it. Like it came in so much handy. It was like, okay, so imagine a tiny little hammer and then those little Russian stacking dolls. That's the best way that I could describe how the screwdriver's... Nesting dolls? Yeah. So each little end of the screwdriver, you'd open it up and then a little screwdriver would pop up and then you'd open it up and another little screwdriver. I think my mom had, I think hers had like five in it. Dang.

Yeah, I freaking loved that damn thing. It was the best. My favorite tool, I don't know why, was a teeny tiny little mallet. A little mallet? It was like a little metal mallet. Really? And I don't know what tool set it came in for my dad. But that thing, anytime I saw that I was like, ooh, I want to go hit something. Always. How are you going to see a hammer and not want to hit something? And that's the thing, like it was shaped like a...

Episode 26 (48:29.614)
So it just made it more fun because there's more weighted. Yeah, and I don't know. It was so fun. I bought a rubber mallet one time from I want to say it was from Walmart. what did I buy that for? OK. So for our wedding, we had an aisle runner because we got married outside. Yeah. So I bought the the stakes to put the owl runner in in the ground. Yeah. And I bought a rubber mallet. So.

Well, it rained on the day of my wedding and my uncle and my dad were running around like crazy trying to put this out runner down once the rain stopped. And I went to use that rubber mallet at the house after the wedding. Not long after, I broke the shit out of that rubber mallet. How did you do that? The rubber mallet literally popped off the handle. Walmart.

I swear, I was like, how did this even happen? Like, what the heck? Like that's the one thing that should not happen to it. The one and only thing, like there is not a lot of rules when it comes to hammers or mallets. Especially a rubber mallet. Like it should be able to do just about anything. Yeah. Including not break off. Yes. And it literally like the handle just popped right out of the rubber mallet. So Jeff, use some Gorilla Glue. good. To glue it back together.

And then the gorilla glue like did out of the hole. So then the whole handle was all sticky. I think we still have it. I bet. That's the kind of tool that for some reason just makes it through time and will eventually be passed down to Reeves. Probably. It's one of those things that just never dies. Or just like one of those tools that your grandpa or your dad just made up. That's not a real tool.

But it works. I made one of those ones. Really? Yeah. What did you do? For school, we had a project where we had to invent something. huh. And my little dumb ass. I remind you, I'm a child. There's a lot to the world. I don't know yet. Wait, what grade are you talking? like third. OK, when you said in school, I automatically went to college. no. Sorry. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I make sense that you thought that. No, we're talking third or fourth grade. OK. And.

Episode 26 (50:50.862)
I recall being asked to invent something and so I said, okay, what if there was a remote that could talk to everything? My genius butt came up with a universal remote. So I had never heard of one, I had never seen one. So I was like, that would be a great idea. You're thinking I'm solving the problems of the world. At least my world.

Why would you think anything other than? And my teacher was like, that already exists. I'm like, okay, how was I supposed to know that? Like I'm a child. And then at that point I was like crying because I was like, what else exists that I don't know about? Seriously, my whole life is a lie. So then I kept thinking of things and she kept saying, that exists, that exists. I'm like, seriously. And y 'all, okay, at this point in time, Google wasn't a thing. So you couldn't just look it up and be like, does this exist? Not to mention...

At that time, even if Google was a thing, you did not want to let kids just go free range. Range. Yeah, no, not in those days. No. So it just it was difficult. And then I finally was like, OK, mom, what if because by this point, like I'd gone home, I told my mom my frustrations. I'm like, I don't know what to do. So came up with a gardening tool that I just.

merged together? So like the little rakey part? Yeah. And the little shovel part? huh. I just stuck those together as one. I'm pretty sure they have one of those nowadays. They definitely do. Are you kidding me? They definitely do. Probably because of your third grade class. You're hoping. Your fucking teacher was like, that one does not exist. I'm going to take it and roll with it. That's why she wanted something that didn't exist. That's exactly what she's trying to get out of fucking school. I don't want to be a damn school teacher no more. I want to make bank.

I'm gonna take these third graders ideas and turn around for profit. So yeah, my dad and my mom just like, you know, helped me put that together. So that I think stuck around my house for a long while because it was actually fastened together into one. So that yeah, that lasted. And do you know the anger I had when one kid because mind you.

Episode 26 (53:13.966)
I not only invented something, I came through with the product. I followed through wholeheartedly. And when one of the smartest kids in the class thought of a jet pack and I'm like, wow, original. And he came in with these soda bottles that were emptied out onto some cardboard box. He's like, look, I have a jet pack. I'm like, mine works. Get out of here. I was so mad. I was like...

Come on, I'm not even like 50th percentile and smartest kids in this class. And I came up with something that works. Damn it. Jerk. I was so upset. I was like, all right, the world is unfair and I'm learning now. man. But back to the, yeah, that's one of the tools I made it around in my house for like, I feel like a long while. I swear I saw it like later down the road. That's awesome. And I was like,

That's right. I forgot about that. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but that one may have been used for my sister's project too, six years later. That's hilarious. Hopefully with, well, Shirley was with a different teacher. Yeah. my goodness. First off, boo on the teacher for just straightened.

being a jerk and shutting you down. These kids are supposed to use their imagination. Just because you know that the product exists doesn't mean that they know that it exists, especially if it's not used in their little world. I wouldn't have known what a universal remote was. No, years later, my dad eventually got one for the house, but years later. I'm pretty sure my parents still don't have a universal remote.

have a universal remote in my house. I don't think anyone needs them anymore because it used to be... Well, okay. Wow. No. Definitely. I'm sure plenty of people need them. I feel like systems are a little more simplified nowadays. That's true. So at least maybe in our economy class where you don't go get a full sound system sometimes because you just... You can't. So you go and...

Episode 26 (55:23.502)
You just get the TV and that's my sound system. I'm not going off of that because I just can't. I'd rather spend it on a Ninja Creamy. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, right. Yeah, I can't. But I don't know. I have no use for a universal remote, but others may and maybe they're getting them. But if I had a kid today, I don't think they'd know what that is. No, my kid wouldn't.

And even if I had a universal remote, all that would happen is somebody would lose it and then we wouldn't be able to power and use anything in my house. Dude, at one point we had a universe. OK, so I get this from my dad. A thousand percent. I get this side from my dad. We buy things that are techie and look cool. Yeah. But no one ever said they work well. No, that is a thousand percent you and your dad. So one time he got a universal remote that it like lit up.

It lit up the buttons underneath this little film. And they would light up blue. That thing was so stupidly hard to find the right button because of that. It was slightly bumpy where the buttons were, but you had to have it light up to find the buttons because of the film on top. And then on top of that, they were kind of hard to press and the battery died very quickly. yeah, because of all the lights.

It was such a failure, but it was the coolest thing. It's a core memory. It worked. It's 1000 % a core memory because I look cool. Yeah. So I didn't hate it. But at the same time, I was like, all right, dad, now we just got to solve the problem of batteries that die too fast. And he goes, easy, rechargeable batteries. Let's go.

had to have batteries in rotation. man. So I get that from him. Yeah. No, you do. And you buy all the cool techie things. Yeah. I love it. I love it so much. You find all the cool techie things. It keeps life interesting. Yeah, it does. Yeah. I concur. I totally concur. I'm trying to think. I really don't... Nobody... Maybe one aunt and uncle would have had universal.

Episode 26 (57:44.462)
remote for things. I had one rich aunt and uncle. They had like everything. They had all the coolest, all the newest. They also didn't have kids. And that'll do it. Yeah. They were dinks. Yeah, exactly. They were dinks. Man, the first time I heard that word, I was like, that is the most amazing thing that I've ever heard in my entire life. So funny thing, Cole has a hat that says it. No way. Yeah. He weirdly got it at a pickleball place. Chicken and pickle, I think it was. Maybe it was a different place.

Yeah, we went to one to just check it out. We didn't play, but we were just there hanging out and they had swag. And for some reason, one of their swag hats was a dink hat and he just loved it. He was like, that's a nice hat. So he bought it. And for the longest time, he just kept walking around with dink on his hat. That's funny. for all of you listeners, dink is a dual income, no kids. Yep.

Dual income, no kids. So just as an FYI. That's why Cole and I are dinks and you are not. I am not. I gave up that a long time ago. man, but that is a good title. I think it's the best. But yeah, they were dinks and they had the coolest stuff. Like, do you remember those giant ass fucking TVs? Like those big ones with the big box?

Yes. When they first came out with them giant TVs. So we had one? My aunt and uncle had one. But I feel like we had it because he found it in, was it online or a garage sale? Somebody was selling it. It may have been my uncle. Honestly, maybe it was my uncle. But my dad was like, that TV fits perfectly in our new house. It's like already built. Like we moved into a model home.

So everything was made for whatever fake stuff they had before we moved in. So they had an entire entertainment system that was built into the wall with this giant square hole. And he looked at it and he goes, I know what fits in there. Then that TV came and it did, in fact, fit in there perfectly. It was shocking how perfect it was. Really? Yeah. That's awesome. I remember...

Episode 26 (01:00:07.182)
They had lived in a smaller house and then they had a custom home built. And I remember that like we would periodically go over and see like the construction of their new house. And I don't know why this core memory is stuck in my head, but I remember that my dad took us over to their old house to move the TV to the new house. And I remember sitting on their couch just staring at it. I had never seen a TV that big before in my life. They're ridiculous. It was so big. Because...

You had to really wonder like, why do you have to be that big? Why are you that big? Yes. And like that house of theirs was really small. But I just I remember that room, that one room in their house, like just it's ingrained in my brain and the door. And then they took the TV out the door. And then I remember dropping it off at the new house and the TV.

was too small in their new house. God. Whereas the old house, it took up the living room. my gosh. See, back then we solved that problem with just using a projector. Yeah. Because a projector made everything look bigger. Yeah. Smart. So smart. And that's why I like projectors now. Yeah, we have one. Well, we had one, it was in the man cave, which is now a playroom. So.

I don't have any idea where in the world it is right now. I really don't even know where Jeff put the screen. Cause like he bought like the whole kit and Kabuto. We had the projector, we had the screen. Is the screen still on the wall? Okay. The screen might still be in the wall. Now that I think about it, I don't really look at what's on the walls in that room. I just try not to die over the toys while I'm walking in the room.

I think the projector is still on the wall. Dude, I just thought of something. What? If we could actually do our own construction in our own home, imagine making a pocket in the ceiling to put a motorized projector screen. Yeah. Wouldn't be that hard. No, not at all. It just lives up there. Yeah. Comes down when you need it. Exactly. Goes away when you don't. Yep. Damn. Right? That'd be nice.

Episode 26 (01:02:25.262)
Future goals. Future goals. Add to the list. Just do it in this house and then sell it. Not tell anybody and then one day just beeee

All right, Priscilla, you about ready? Yes. Call it quits. I would say so. Okay. I think we're both tired. Yeah, I'm fading. Same. All right. Well, follow us on TikTok and on Instagram and you can find us on all of the listening platforms. Just about. And if you can't find us on something, let us know. We'll put ourselves on it. Yep. You can shoot us a message on Instagram and I will read it and I will respond back to you. And that's that.

We'll talk to you guys next week. Bye. Bye.
