The Rambling Gypsy
Snake Bites, E-Bikes, and Solar Powered Sass
Buckle up for a heart-to-heart catch-up as Kell finally returns to the porch after a long absence! This emotional reunion finds our hosts navigating life's unexpected curveballs while rediscovering their signature sass and strength.
Kell opens up about her father's stroke and miraculous recovery, sharing the all-too-familiar challenges of stubborn parents who refuse to follow medical advice. The parallels between their fathers—those "meanest teddy bears in the entire world"—reveals why these women handle adversity with such characteristic grit and humor. When Kell admits, "I've been missing, I've been sad, I've been checked out," we're reminded how deeply personal struggles can temporarily dim even the brightest spirits.
Meanwhile, Tiffany recounts a frustrating run-in with local law enforcement after her teenage nephew (aka Kell's son) was pulled over on his e-bike. What follows is an enlightening and occasionally maddening exploration of confusing vehicle regulations that vary wildly between counties. Her investigation reveals that these expensive e-bikes are essentially "worthless" outside private property—information that would have been helpful before purchase! This story highlights the absurd gray areas in many local ordinances and the challenges of navigating them.
The conversation takes another turn when Kell shares her experience treating her dog's severe snake bite, forcing her to practice medical skills you wouldn't think a math teacher has. "You never know how strong you are until you have no other choice," she reflects, capturing the episode's underlying theme of finding unexpected resilience when life demands it.
Through laughter, these friends demonstrate how showing up for each other during difficult times strengthens their bond. Whether you're dealing with family health crises, confusing regulations, or emergency pet care, this episode reminds you that sometimes the only way forward is to "buckle down on whatever needs to be done"—preferably with a friend by your side.
The Rambling Gypsy podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the lives of real Texans doing real sh*t. We're pulling back the curtains on our daily lives - and you're invited to laugh and learn along with us.

Speaker 2:Kel-Kel. Welcome back, welcome back, hey everybody. It's Tiffany Foy. Welcome to the Rambling Porch Rambling Podcast. We are fortunate to be porch-inate. We have brought that back because we do have a porch. And just because I'm stumbling all over it is because I have some exciting news. One Kel is back on the porch in the she shed finally. She's been stubborn. I know that's hard for y'all to believe, but she has been. You have-. I've had a lot of things going on, girl.
Speaker 2:Well, we talk about how we have to take a lap, and so you've been taking it's a long lap.
Speaker 1:It's a lot of laps sometimes. I mean this year just started off with a bang and uh been running ever since. I'm still trying to lap it up, but I feel better now.
Speaker 2:I know she said that while we have to tell everybody that Kel has taken a lap. She's changed her face and her attitude.
Speaker 1:And she's here, and she's smiling.
Speaker 2:We had to take her on a little field trip because y'all know Kel's sensitive to her environment and we all are. So we had to go listen to some good music. We had to go get our toes done, we had to Girl so bad Y'all, it was a real check your shows. And then I need to know that was a fluctuation. We hadn't had them done since before Mardi.
Speaker 1:Gras. Okay, I was still rocking Mardi Gras toes you were Last week. Well, we all know Mardi Gras been over for a long time and I'm all about it, but still was excessive. That was my little, you know. Rowan said just push your toes back. Yeah, just push your toes, baby. I'm trying to get in there, got a? Lot of things gifts, and that's not one of them.
Speaker 2:But we can't be running around all ratchet like that. No, no, people looking. Yes, and if you watch the Monroe episode, you know that that is a huge thing. We talked about the toes and the hammer toe. Oh, no, no, it was no, yes. And then I, you know, I'm a Sebastian Maniscalco fan, huge. And when you can do a nice slice of provolone with your big toe he says it on one of his shows I could recite word for word.
Speaker 2:And because I can recite word for word, I don't remember which one of his shows they all go to, but oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:I've been trimming and filing in between because you know they just get a little excessive. Yeah, I don't like to wear closed-toed shoes, but when you look down and your feet are ugly and then you're just mad at your feet, it's like being mad at your hair, like it's a whole thing. So make that appointment Fix your fucking toes, please. They'll change your life. Please do, why not?
Speaker 2:And we changed our hair? Yes, we did so. Kel is back with her porcupine poof along my signature. Look her. Yes, she is back. Y'all the weave is back feels good. I had to give the head a break another high five.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm just so excited it's.
Speaker 2:It feels good, we're getting our shit together. Are we? We keep threatening? No, nick says don't be lying, because she said she said this to me the other day. Yes, she goes. Okay, I'm going to go do my life together.
Speaker 1:I said don't be no. No, you know, damn good, you're marking shit off the list though.
Speaker 2:Well, look, I didn't even make it. Chip away at it Five steps and I turned back around and forgot what I was doing. I said, never mind, that was a total lie. And at the same time, don't lie about shit like that. We know damn good and well, you're not going to go and get your life together.
Speaker 1:That's cute, but I'm going to try, I'm going to do one baby step. Get me a little bit closer.
Speaker 2:You got to put your thing on the coaster.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry. Get your shit. Look my mother would be embarrassed.
Speaker 2:Now you got me spilling shit you got to.
Speaker 1:This is like a little.
Speaker 2:Y' they're like oh, she's back, pop quiz. Sorry, you've been absent for the last fucking two months. So what else is going on? Okay, so exciting news. So, um, on my way here. So you know, we've got um, we've had a bunch of really really fun, cool guests that you have been missing on.
Speaker 2:Clearly yes, and everybody is missing you and we've been so glad and everybody in my missing you and we've been so glad and I'm so glad you're back. But, um, we've had some really cool, fine musicians and you know, you know a lot of them and it's been fun just really getting to um, do meet and greets and introduce the people to their background and their history and and even though that we've known them for a long minute or um, it's really cool to learn what brought them to the music scene, what you know if that was in their family or if they were, you know, yeah, so it's been really, really, really fun and really, really cool and I've had such a blast doing it.
Speaker 2:But, um, we have up and coming. Um, Rich O'Toole is going to be on the show and I met that guy a long long time ago and I haven't seen him in years and um, so, ironically enough, you'll, you guys will see him coming on the show. But I was talking to him on my way up here this morning and he just asked me to wait for it. Yes, Y'all, what did he ask you to record on his cd? He's got an up and coming cd that just tells you how old I am. It's gonna. We're gonna put on a little eight track cassette. Yeah, coming, coming in 2025.
Speaker 2:It's gonna be on vinyl too it is yeah, yeah for a big signature. Yeah, exactly. So yes, I literally was like wait what? Okay, okay Now let me check my schedule. Sure, I'm fine, that's good, I'm open.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure I can move some shit around for you rich, so I'm so excited so. I'm so excited.
Speaker 2:So that is, that's super cool and I can't wait to tell you guys brand new season, brand new season and 2025 is, is, is been. It's going so fast already and it's cruising. And what's crazy is I went through so much shit in 2024 personal, with my family and my dad, and it was tough and you were there through the whole thing and boom, you started off right out of the gate with this year, very same scenario.
Speaker 1:That's another reason I've been missing. I had a lot of firsts this year. I've been missing, I've been sad, I've been checked out. My dad had a stroke, which I know happens to a lot of people's parents, but miraculously after 35 days in rehab he is back home and kicking ass and talking shit and when Kel and I first met, forever and ever and ever ago, that was one thing the very first time she met my dad and the very first time I met your dad.
Speaker 1:you're like, oh my goodness, we same same, exactly the same. These two men are. They might hurt your feelings, but they got a big heart.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh. They're not crying, they're yelling.
Speaker 1:They're the meanest teddy bears in the entire world. Yeah, so that's probably why we are the way that we are.
Speaker 2:Yes, so, ironically enough, I think it's it's. It's sad because I know what you're going through, but you were so there for me, and it's just when you, it's just when it's unexpected like that they go in for a checkup and then they just don't ever come out Proud procedure and then they're a snowman, and you just hope you never have to make those choices.
Speaker 1:And I did all the things right and I, you know, fought for my dad and, fortunately, a little change in medication and he woke up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I mean it's a miracle, it's a nice raising hill yeah, raising hill.
Speaker 1:He's yelling at everybody, everything is right back to the norm and I've had to tell him he can't drive and he's pissed about that. But he's driving around the neighborhood in his little Kubota, taking his dog for rides and making excuses to check out.
Speaker 2:He took off. He set up a baby trap for y'all. He said he wanted something. Hey, hey, look over there. And then boop jumped in his Kubota.
Speaker 1:Wait, he's leaving. I'm like look, I said he could drive that. I wasn't talking about two days. I hired all this help.
Speaker 2:I put him on hospice, was there for like a day.
Speaker 1:And you were like, okay, he fired everybody, okay, he's not actually dying. I don't know what to tell y'all. Dad, I overstaffed, always overstaff. You can always cancel people, but you don't want to be drowning and then be like, oh shit, we're drowning, come help. No one's going to come help at the last minute, so I made all the rightest choices.
Speaker 2:When you said that he found the keys, and I was thinking I remember when was it you, nick, that hit him, and I mean the girl can Harold's keys? Yes. Hidden him and I'm talking, you know.
Speaker 1:Harold is the Because you're not supposed to treat him.
Speaker 2:Harold is a oh, and that garage is perfect for a hoarding show. Oh, and that garage is perfect for a hoarding show. Oh, mine too. God love him. It's a real thing. But he can tell you where every nut and bolt is in that place, every pipe, every electrical wire.
Speaker 1:He knows everything that's missing, every plug that's plugged into it. Where's my warmer that warms my coffee mug that belongs out at my garage computer? I had to borrow the one from in the house because now I don't have one and I'm like like dad I really was like just trying to help and we weren't sure that you were coming home and he's like y'all just moved all my shit around.
Speaker 2:he felt like he went to sleep and woke up and came home and he got robbed yeah, and he's like everything is so like deja vu for me when listening to your conversations, but I will never. And he sure as shit got in that truck and drove straight to New Braunfels and I was like what the hell?
Speaker 1:He remembered something that he needed, and he kept driving on that medication. No, they ain't going to listen. I said, dad, I'm the boss, and he said how he found his keys. No, you're not.
Speaker 2:And it's not like he has a key ring like me and Nick have. It's a carabiner that you can climb Mount Everest with.
Speaker 1:Yeah my dad got a pack of 87 of those.
Speaker 2:He's got a little tiny key ring with two, three keys on it.
Speaker 1:That's it, and you know the old keys. It's not like the keys now.
Speaker 2:Like the key to the city. No, the keys are not that big, it's the little, tiny little keys.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you stubborn, it's crazy. Honore will take you a long way. You be sweet, you die quick. So keep that piss and vinegar we're going to be around.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying, I'm saying it.
Speaker 1:We ain't going anywhere, still talking shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what? Well, um, we had an incident a couple of weeks ago and I really want to you and I have not personally talked about it, but that's what I really wanted to talk about today is this outside of family, and that we missed you and I love you and I'm glad you're back here. Everybody misses you, I love you.
Speaker 1:I'm glad to be back. Everybody misses your sass. I've been missing my spirit. My hair was growing out. I was sad and boring and overcome and then I said fuck this shit, here we go. We got this, let's do this. Welcome back. Fuck this shit, here we go. We got this, let's do this. Welcome back Tits up.
Speaker 2:Yes, we were getting ready to go somewhere, I don't know. And so you guys know Riley, her adult baby child man child, my parent child.
Speaker 2:Yes, he's the boss of me, my nephew and the sweetest child which his sass is really. It's it, it's good, it's his timing is good. I don't know where he gets it from. I don't want either, but anyways. Um, we were getting ready. It was Saturday, we were going somewhere, we had something coming up, so I was in the bathroom running around and the animals blah, blah, blah. So I was in the bathroom running around and the animals blah, blah, blah. Well, he's got his passcode to come into the house and in comes the two boys, him and his buddy, and I come around the corner and Nick and them are saying, hey, look, who we found on the front porch. And I'm thinking what's in the package? You?
Speaker 2:know, yeah, what is it? Could be anything, probably something for Bertie. Does it say live animals inside? Yeah, exactly Perfect. And it's the two boys, and so they're sitting on the Ottoman and they have this really like guilty, you know, and Riley's one, that he reaches out to me for everything and even with, like, the older boys, my older, boys, their whole kids, yeah their friends, their whatever. I've always been the one that they go to. They can text me or there's, they don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1:Don't tell my mom, please don't tell my mom, right, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, help. So. And not to mention, I've had the same phone number forever and everybody in there. It's the easiest phone number in the world to remember, so, but anyways. So the boys, yeah, the boys are sitting there and I said what are y'all doing? And they said, well, we were going to go down the road. So I'm going to give you guys a scenario so I can set this up, so you can understand. These two boys are 15 year olds, straight A students, a honor roll, straight. I mean never in trouble, do everything that they need to do. Clean records I mean stupid clean Like they're 15. Go ahead and fuck up already.
Speaker 1:Throw an egg at something For real. Throw a roll of toilet paper.
Speaker 2:I know it's expensive.
Speaker 1:And not the eggs. No, not the eggs, that's gold Girl. No, but so these kids are.
Speaker 2:Are that good? That's gold girl, no, but so these kids are, are that good? And they have these e-bikes right. So these are, um, they don't have a motor on them. They're all electric and all the right, yes, and so, and they look like dirt bikes and we'll we'll show a picture of them, because it's not there's some that have the pedals. The pedals, if you can pedal like there's a couple of them in our subdivision and you see those.
Speaker 2:You see how there's that place downtown that sells them If you have pedals. So the kids have these bikes. They look like dirt bikes but you cannot hear them. A mosquito sounds louder than they do. So they were going down. So I live off of not a major highway, not a major street, it's Mission Valley Road. It's very tiny and it takes you from 46 to 1863, which are still farm roads. 46 is not, but 1863 is a farm road. So the kids were going on this little tiny stretch Between our neighborhoods, between our neighborhoods.
Speaker 1:And they were going to run down.
Speaker 2:There Between our neighborhoods, between our neighborhoods and they were going to run down. There's a little place down at the end of the road that has crawfish. They have food trucks. It's called the.
Speaker 1:Reserve at 1863.
Speaker 2:It's a cool little outdoor place. The kids welcome whatever they invited us to take the camels yes. So super cool, vibe, you guys check it out. So the kids were going there and they were on the grass and they got pulled over by an officer. Yes, and the officer. I first thing I said was who was it? One because I know so many of and this is the county, county officers here in town and we know so many of them. I'm so grateful for so many of them, um, because they protect us on the river.
Speaker 2:They help us all the time. I'm the biggest supporter of the sheriff's department here in town. I feed them on the river all summer long. Um, they just. They do such an amazing job and I get that some enforced stronger than others. Some come across meaner than others. Sure, um, but whatever. So they pull the kids over and ask them where they were going and they said they just left their man gypsies house and they're headed to their Aunt Gypsy's house.
Speaker 1:And they were headed to, and they were headed to Aunt Gypsy's house.
Speaker 2:Well, no, they were going there.
Speaker 1:He told me they were smart enough to lie, to say they were going to your house and not say we're headed to the crawfish. Okay, so maybe I missed that part, the cop was on the phone and said I just want to tell you the laws and these are not street legal and yada, yada, and I know they're going out to do something good and go clean those monkey cages for their aunt.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to follow them over to her house and you'll have to come pick them up with the truck. And I said, okay babe.
Speaker 2:Okay, so I didn't get that whole part that they called you, but I said, um, which is good to know, I wish I would have known just that little tiny bit before I lost my mind, so, which happens from time, I know it's hard to believe, but I did so.
Speaker 2:Um, he tells me the officer's name and I was like huh boy I could have picked that out of a lineup, because this guy, this particular officer, in my opinion is a bully. His main department, he is traffic, which, okay, that's fine, but it's just, and that's my opinion. I was thankful that he got up with a warning and well, he did exactly what he was supposed to do and he said that he called in for backup. These are what does he think that they're gonna do? They're two 15 year old, one is my size and one is kids on e-bikes, they might take off those things go pretty fast.
Speaker 2:There's nowhere to go there's literally high fences on both sides I was just thankful he got nothing on his record.
Speaker 1:I tried to scare him and say shit like this can stay with you. It can keep you out of college. I know it's going to drop off, but that's beside the point.
Speaker 2:I was like you're more positive about this than I am so, yeah, you're just yeah well, you've already done this.
Speaker 1:This is my first teenager.
Speaker 2:Here's my point is that? So I called friend of my SO guys that I know very well and I said hey, I've got a question, so I want I want to explain this to me because I see there's a gentleman in my subdivision.
Speaker 1:He looks like Geppetto, so if you see him, you'll be like we're going to call him Geppetto for now.
Speaker 2:And he has his little scoot that he buzzes by on all the time and I'm thinking, okay, and I mean this dude, he is getting it. So and I asked the boys, I said, right, I swear to pickles If you are lying to me. And you guys were, because I just got asked the other day about this, pop the willies, yep, uh-huh. And I said absolutely not, no. So when I made the phone call and was talking to a friend of mine that's on the forest and I said, just explain to me the rules and if this is okay or if this is not okay, because I don't get it, because you can ride a regular bike, you can ride a regular bike on the road which we all know, because on River Road Lord have mercy On the way here there is 40,000 of them, memorial day weekend, taking up the entire road. They don't give a shit, not the time. They don't give two fucks, they're in the way.
Speaker 1:I followed one in the construction on the way here.
Speaker 2:I was like there's drunks on the road, there's curves, there's everything. Everything that you should not do on a yeah is on this road.
Speaker 2:Right. So I said explain it to me. You know this is a. It's off the beaten path, the road that the kids were on, they were on the grass. Can they not ride these on the grass? Is it just because they're street? So if, if that was my property, where which I know the people that have the two adorable, uh, houses up front, the little old, so right there where that easement is so if that was my house and my kids went outside of my gate on that easement, would they get in trouble? He said Tiffany, that's a very gray area.
Speaker 1:He said and I said, well, does the gray area Cause I?
Speaker 2:would really like to read it, or can we? I just feel like the kids. One could have been educated on this. They didn't educate the kids. They pulled them over, called in for backup, scared the shit out of them and then escorted them to my house and told me you can come pick them up with a truck. There we are, yeah. So I get the whole scoop on it. We're driving to I don't even know we had a, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were going to Sagan.
Speaker 2:We were going to Sagan, she's taking them to get crawfish with you, exactly. So I said I just don't understand why they can't ride them, because you got golf carts that can run pretty much all over. Now you have SUVs I mean ATVs, utvs that you can now ride that are street legal. I said these bikes, what makes it different than a regular bike? So he said, if you remember and I do because I'm obviously and this particular officer that I was talking to, I used to take care of when he was little.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to mention his name, but I used to take care of him and so I obviously we're. We have, yeah, for a very long time it changed his diaper, so, yeah, and I said I just want to understand why it wasn't illegal, wasn't explained or did I feel like, when the boys bought the bikes that it would be like okay, here's the deal, you cannot ride these on the street. So I'm talking to the officer and he's good. You know, tiffany, in fact he was the second or third officer that I talked to that day and the reason I went straight up the deal was because I knew all of these guys, but this particular officer is in charge of the one that pulled the boys over and yes, exactly.
Speaker 2:And so he said to me you know I used to ride my dirt bikes. I said, oh, I know you were bad as hell when you were little. These kids are good kids. These kids are good kids. And the other officer that I talked to was like shit, I used to ride my dirt bike on 16 oh four, which is a huge loop in San Antonio. I know I used to ride my dirt bikes.
Speaker 2:My kids were riding their dirt bikes down off of the property we had off of 35. Right. So he said, used to. They would um, measure the speed by the horsepower. Okay, now, because these bikes are so souped up, they cannot say you cannot have, it's got to be a one, 25 or less, to ride it on the road or higher, or vice versa, or whatever, because these bikes that are now CCS will haul ass, they'll go 75 miles an hour or whatever. So now they don't base it on horsepower or CCs, it's just. And I said okay. So let's just say I got on my bike, my, my little bike, my normal one, with my banana seat, my flag up in the air, my baskets in the front, my kangaroo sitting in my basket.
Speaker 1:I could ride from my neighborhood to yours with my flagpole and my and I pedaled because I'm a peddler and I kicked it up to 60 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:Let's just say Is that illegal? He said. Only you would bring up that scenario.
Speaker 1:It's a legitimate question.
Speaker 2:I said I'm going to think about it.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get that back right now.
Speaker 2:I will start practicing. I will go get that back on.
Speaker 1:Have you ever seen my?
Speaker 2:daughters on a Peloton. Can you imagine if we put that thing on? Oh yeah, We'll have them just riding back and forth until they get pulled over.
Speaker 1:Right which one? So let's see.
Speaker 2:So let's think about that.
Speaker 1:The blondes, the brunettes, yes, blancs yeah.
Speaker 2:But I mean think about that for a minute.
Speaker 1:So no, I'm literally confused, also because it's okay for them to. I mean, I get it, he doesn't have a license or snow insurance, but whatever.
Speaker 2:But I really was like okay, get this.
Speaker 1:I didn't tell him strictly forbidden. I said wear a helmet, get this.
Speaker 2:He said this is something that they just found out is that you have to insure an uninsured motorist. Yes, so that bike? Because you cannot insure it, you have to pay for uninsured vehicle policy, which what do you say? It was like 10, 15 bucks or something has to go to the County. I said somebody just need a new job.
Speaker 2:Clearly y'all made that job for somebody? What is that tax going to? So now you've got. He said this is new to me. And I said so. Okay, here's this scenario. I said when we're on the Island, down at the beach house, Okay, how about the Island? Let's talk about this. So we're all in Texas, so you know where my house is at. You can drive an UTV, a golf court, a cart from my place, anything. Yes, Down white cap all the way, all the way across the 361 to that whole area, anywhere over there, from one side to the other side. But if you turn Totally illegal, Totally legal. But if you make a right turn or a left turn on 361, it's illegal. Yes, I said so. How do you make these rules? Who said that Speed limit, Not that road Based on the speed limit? And I said so. How does that work in New Brunswick? Because it's the same deal road based on the speed. And I said so. How does that work in new Brunfels? Because it's the same deal.
Speaker 1:So you can take the golf carts in certain areas you can have a license plate and they have to have blinkers.
Speaker 2:Yes, they need to be street legal, but not necessarily down there or down here.
Speaker 2:If you know how to use your hand signals, then you don't need blinkers. If you don't have blinkers, you have to use hand signals, or you can get pulled over on a bicycle, right. So my question was how does anybody know where they can and cannot go? There's no sign that says no, no, left turn, right. And he said that it is based on the County right. So he caught. There was a terminology for it. So, um, it's like a destination map or something I don't know.
Speaker 2:But basically yes, so the that particular County or city allows it, maybe both they set it up and say okay, golf carts can go straight, they can go this right, but they cannot go this left. Imagine my surprise.
Speaker 1:Where does the confusion lie?
Speaker 2:So if this particular officer that I think has a heart on for anyone and everyone happens to pull over somebody that has no clue, sure Is one of those that just instantly is like sorry about your luck, guess what fuckers Right, no crawfish today. But I mean, that's the whole con, the whole thing is right it's disturbing, I get it.
Speaker 1:I mean it's about safety and he, whatever, he had a real, but I mean you know he's gonna be on the road next year in a real truck. So I thought, like a little bit of practice on the sidewalk just between neighborhoods, I just seem like it was fine.
Speaker 2:But yeah, one I think it needs to be public service announcement. And yes, which is exactly what I'm doing too, I think there needs to be A disclosure, a something. And you know what I said. I said so where are they supposed to ride these bikes? He said on your private property. That's exactly what he told me. So in my yard, I said so these bikes are worthless, he said pretty much. That's why I recommend I said so, you recommend the 15-year-old get into a UTV like mine, yeah, and roll it, yeah, and that's I mean. Look how many people we know that have been in accidents on UTVs.
Speaker 1:Hell, go on the TikToks and film the people at the golf course in their carts after 47 hot toddies. But it's such a, it's such a.
Speaker 2:Anyways, I just wanted to get this out and I wanted to talk about it because I think that people should chime in and give us your thoughts and help us think.
Speaker 1:It's a lot worse things they could be doing. That's what.
Speaker 2:I said, and not to mention the fact that they're off their iPad, they're off the computer, they're outside getting fresh air, doing boy things. Right, that's mansion Not getting in any trouble, but I feel like somewhere somehow in the whole process of buying the bike to taking it home to whatever. There should have been something that said by the way, guys, do you know that you cannot? Or here's a course that you can take You're only able to ride these on certain streets or only in your own property, or whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, there's been a lot of. You know on the neighborhood page the e-bike kids zipped on the sidewalk or you know he did say, he said look, I will download the video or upload it or however you get it.
Speaker 2:And he said I'll let you know. And I said if they were being little punk asses and doing wheelies and all that, I said you better be the first one to call me or text me, cause I will bust their ass. Sure, cause, I point blank said, looked him straight in the face. I mean they were freaking, shaking, scared, the shit out of them.
Speaker 1:That was their first brush with real trouble Back up. Thank God you were there.
Speaker 2:Good Lord.
Speaker 1:Uh no. And then he's like you need to pick them up with a truck from her house and I'm like okay, like I'll get it arranged. But I was like doing other shit. And then he texts me we'll just find a way home, like we'll go the back way, and I was like if you think that cop ain't sitting there waiting for your ass, you got another thing coming.
Speaker 1:I said you better sit right there and we're going to figure this out, Like have someone come get you, because the second time that cop is not going to be so nice, even if he was a jerk. The first time he's going to be a real asshole this time. I've been in enough trouble to know that Like a little bit One time.
Speaker 2:One time Irrelevant, one time Cut and we're back. That's what I meant you don't even need to say action because it all happened from the ghetto oil change to the fireplace.
Speaker 1:There was a lot of dangerous things.
Speaker 2:It could have gone so much worse but anyways, that's what I wanted to talk about. I just want to talk about how there's a great area and I think that it needs to be shared. And I think there needs to be, because I really didn't know either, like I had no clue.
Speaker 1:I just was like, of course, like you need to take, you need to take, yeah. I was just like yes, sir, yes, sir, and chile's, like I could tell. That was like when you go, like how many?
Speaker 2:times you said, sir, you get your motorcycle license. I mean you have to, I mean you've got to go do the whole right.
Speaker 1:No, they upgrade from a fucking scooter to this thing and it's like they're popping wheelies and going 50 miles an hour.
Speaker 1:I don't understand why you would even get one. I wasn't really in charge of that. For the record, it started with the dirt bike and then he upgraded the dirt bike. He sold the dirt bike for more than it was worth and then he decided he bought this used e-bike and then he sold that for more than it was worth and then he bought a new e-bike. So he was just like right on that hustle game and I'm like, well, that's all fine and dandy.
Speaker 2:But I mean, if you still use your gifts for good, you still can't do anything with it but I didn't realize clearly i't either. That's why I was like wait what? Okay, so everybody.
Speaker 1:If your kid has a fucking e-bike, check the rules in your county or whatever.
Speaker 2:Check your Texas to Texas period. You can't do it. It's not from one county together. Yeah, no, it's.
Speaker 1:So I'm like he wants to like soup it up and I'm like you're going to have a truck in like next year why You're not going to care about this. Why would you soup it up? You're not going to care about this. You can't even ride the damn thing, except on my private property, which my yard's about this big now you can ride it out here, but why?
Speaker 1:At the undisclosed location. Yeah, that sounds fun. Maybe some animals will start chasing me, but still, I don't know. It seems dumb and, yes, worthless at this point. So that was a first. I had another first my dog got bit by a snake. I know you're in that game but I've had to go above and beyond my skill set and it's been taxing. But you know, once you survive some shit that you didn't know you could get through.
Speaker 2:Sometimes when you think that one more thing cannot happen. Never say that you never say could it get any worse.
Speaker 1:Fuck yeah, I can, oh yeah hold my beer and watch this it could always get worse so you, just, you know, pace yourself, get through it so you?
Speaker 2:this is kind of an interesting story. So if you guys have animals or whatever kind of, ironically enough, there's been a a post that's been floating all over the web and it's the rattlesnake in the children's vinegar If you chew that and hold it in your mouth. It absorbs faster, Not only in your mouth, but if you put it under your tongue, it's even faster and faster.
Speaker 2:So if anything— Chew it and put it under your tongue Chew it and put it under your tongue and, yes, it goes in faster than just if you hold it in your mouth and it is life-saving. So, um, for people that get bit by rattlesnakes and it is rattlesnake season- right.
Speaker 1:So they have yet to determine if it was a spider or a snake but my dog has very thick hair.
Speaker 1:I saw him in the afternoon right, uh, and he came in in the afternoon, shook his head and it was like a grapefruit on the side of his neck and I was like, oh wow, this wasn't here earlier. My neighbor's a nurse. I said, come over and look at this. You think of something we should like lance this thing. And he's like, oh shit, you gotta see her like a real professional. Yeah, I went in, they shaved it and they said, well, it was some kind of bite, we don't know what. Here's antibiotic and anti-inflammatory, and they didn't give me nothing. No wrap, no, nothing. Thank god I got a little medical experience. Yeah, that dog scratched that thing open. Stay tuned for the picture.
Speaker 1:First night blood from chin to foot to toe. I look up a massacre. I woke up in the house, my husband's like I gotta go to work and take care of something. So I was showering a bloody dog and shampooing and it just progressively got worse. And, uh, then I asked you about it and sent you the picture, which I don't even know why I delayed a day Cause you were like you hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1:I was in it, man, I was like in a murder movie.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's how people ask me all this. In fact, I just got asked. Yesterday we went to go see Dallas and at green hall for an afternoon show and it was amazing. I had been to a Sunday afternoon show in a long time. It was so good to see him.
Speaker 1:It's a good calm vibe.
Speaker 2:Yes, and his dad was there and it was great. I got some great videos, um and um. But I had Buck with me, which you guys know Buckaroo is the new new family member and we had him there and people were coming from all over asking you know how?
Speaker 1:do you and what is it? How do you?
Speaker 2:does it work? Yeah, and I said well when I was younger. Anybody that?
Speaker 1:would find a raccoon on the side of the road or a deer or whatever.
Speaker 2:yep, they would bring it to my house. And, of course, and and I'll bottle feed it. I'll save it. I did a lot of bottle feeding, as I'm still doing it Literally and yeah, and so that's kind of how I and with having as many animals and with us raising sheep and cattle.
Speaker 1:But I've never done any of that and this is the biggest wound I've ever personally been in charge of, and I don't know if y'all know this, but I am not a nurse and this.
Speaker 1:Oh, this has taken more than I thought you know. They say you're not never know how strong you are until you have no other choice or when, like you're the only adult in the room and literally have to fix this problem. So I mean, I got gloved up, I got in there. You told me about the special jail. You got to get the jail Go to Tractor Supply. The second that I sent the picture to my vet, they sent me the same damn jail prescription that you already told me. Thank you, thanks for nothing, but I've been working on that. That's been like 10 days. So dad's been home. He's been feisty. I got the dog with the wound. I got the kid that got pulled over by the.
Speaker 2:Comal County on the death, and that is why her face has not been very happy lately. So, she's back.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I'm coming back around. Yeah, I so she's back. Like I said, I'm coming back around. Yeah, I feel good about it, but Tanner's doing good. Yep, you think he's going to make it. Tanner's making a comeback. Oh my gosh, it's gotten. It's still nasty, but it's getting smaller every day. Yeah, finish up the antibodies.
Speaker 2:I'm kind of with them, I think.
Speaker 1:I don't think that was a ratt spider bite, I was shocked at what damage a brown recluse could do to a dog. He has very thick hair so he really would have had it gotten in there. Well, tanner.
Speaker 2:I have gotten on her for a very long time is not the skinniest dog?
Speaker 1:Oh, my God, he doesn't exercise very much. He chases squirrels and my yard is really small, remember he doesn't chase them, he goes like this. That's the extent of his chase. He's medicated about as much as hendrix does medicated. He ain't barked in a week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's glorious in the best week glorious, you're welcome go to sleep, right, go to sleep sweet dreams we love.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to sleep through this. Sometimes you got to sleep through this. Oh my God, sometimes you got to sleep through it. Mm-hmm. If you're mad, go to bed, mm-hmm. But yeah, well, I'm glad everybody is making a Thank you. Thank you for your veterinary advice.
Speaker 2:I'm glad you have a smile on your face and you're making a turnaround. Hell, yeah, but yes, but you know I haven't. This one has not crossed my path before. You might want to take this, yeah, okay. Well, you better escalate that to like a professional, yeah.
Speaker 1:But I'm very blessed to have a lot of vets, that I work Absolutely and I've seen all the crazy, weird things that can happen. And let me tell you what you need to do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that looked dead.
Speaker 1:That ain't good.
Speaker 2:No, I fixed that. Hendrix just had his ear full of fluid and yeah, we did.
Speaker 1:He did a surgery a couple years ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah, something and I drained it. I pulled the first. Yeah, like the first one I did.
Speaker 1:I pulled 11 cc's out of it I said I don't know what that little fat cigar size yeah, look like that's a lot Significant.
Speaker 2:Yes, and did really good for a couple of few days, and then I put him on some things and then it just kept going Because they flap it right. Yeah, but it just kept continuously feeling and the only way to fix that is to go in and burn the deals.
Speaker 1:Oh, cauterize yeah.
Speaker 2:So he had a pretty intense, you know, but he's.
Speaker 1:I appreciate your skills and it's like you never know what you can do until you have to do it, you know, you see that show 1923, somebody was just talking about that today. That old bitch is such a badass like everybody gets shot up and she's just like put him on the table, strap the neck, yeah but, like I think I started it, but I don't think I got it.
Speaker 1:Get back into it, get back into it. I'm just saying like she just buckles down on whatever the fuck needs to be done. That's what needs to be done, and she doesn't.
Speaker 2:That's how I am with animals. Now people do that shit at the resort and I'm like you know what. There's no time for throwing up.
