Nancy is so happy that the weather was nice and warm this weekend. Joey visited his brother in Cincinnati and got tired of him talking about his Delta credit card and perks. While in Cincinatti, Joey went to a House and Garden Show. He found a booth that was giving free massage with a massage gun. He immediately signed up and got one. Nancy is offended because Joey wouldn’t let her use her massage gun on him last week. Monday Morning Wake Up Call with 6-Year-Old Dominic Nancy has decided she wants to start a new business... with donkeys. She wants to buy some donkeys and rent them out as beer burros. They would go to events and have baskets on their backs filled with beer or other beverages. She wants to call them “Drunk A** Donkeys.” Hot Tea: Thomas Rhett and his wife have welcomed baby number 5 and it’s a boy! Ella Langley says she wants to act in a horror movie. A school made a statement asking parents to please double check their kids’ lunchboxes after a kid had a canned martini in their lunch. We gave away Dollywood gold season passes by having a rollercoaster scream off. Whoever can hold their scream the longest wins! Nancy felt like a hypocrite in church yesterday. The sermon mentioned that we tend to only give grace to good people, not to people that really need it. It really hit her hard. She thought about how she usually never helps the people on the side of the road because they might have bad intentions. She realized that didn’t matter, so she bought some supplies to make little bags to give them. It will include water, snacks, toothbrush, toothpaste, a Bible, and more. Lucky 7 for $50 to Old South Candy Two TV anchors had an argument on air and had to make a statement saying that they are like siblings and pick at each other all the time... it just normally doesn’t happen on air. This reminded Joey of a time when he got really annoyed with Nancy on air because she kept interrupting him. He played the audio from it and Nancy kept apologizing for it. A New York Hospital welcomed a 13lb baby and a 4lb baby just hours apart. The photo of them side by side is crazy. Joey went into a smoothie place in Cincinnati and ordered on the kiosk at the counter. He didn’t see any workers, but figured they were just in the back. He stood there a while before he looked up the place’s phone number. He discovered that the business is brand new and hasn’t opened to the public yet. He didn’t know that because the doors were unlocked and the kiosk let him order. He ended up just leaving and making sure he saved the receipt to hopefully get a refund.
