Everyone remembers The God Warrior Marguerite Perrin from ABC’s television show Trading Spouses. Yes, she was The God Warrior Lady that had somewhat of a breakdown after being placed in a home of Wiccans and forced to participate in Solstice ceremonies and psychic readings. Many people had a good laugh at her breakdown when she got back home to her family and tried to tell them of her traumatic experiences. Her rant about the demonic practices and witchcraft quickly became a viral sensation. I had the chance to meet her at her home in Louisiana when she invited me over for a cookout. I thought I’d be in the presence of a hardcore bible thumper, but in the end she turned out to be a laid back, fun loving, mother enjoying her life and family. Many of us have been pushed to the edge, but to see how she is able to laugh at all of the scrutiny and internet jokes shows us how we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously. All in all I had a great conversation with Marguerite and look to meet up with her soon and share some more stories.

beard it's the beard I so remember that yes I like it though so yeah I mean I mean we had acket yeah we had a time you know we had a yeah I'm sorry no I was gonna say we had a good time hanging out with you that day I was telling my friends we were coming over to meet you got I've had the um pleasure can you hear me yeah this just a little bit of delay back and forth it's all good so you know we had yeah yeah that was like that was like fun my um did we cook for you did we cook that day or did we do anything yeah yeah you guys you guys had a cookout and we we came over there and tore it up I'm totally still living in the same place yeah well we same house same everything it's just uh we actually have a uh I have a dance studio an hour away from my home now a little bit in a different direction Barry he was he came over remember he came over and he had the CD and it was like I you'll remember me now that just brings back memories he was sneaky he didn't tell me that yeah I love it yeah we gotta do that again for for sure definitely so I was telling all my friends that you know we were going over to meet you and nobody believed me because everybody had seen the show and I was like dude you know we're going over there to hang out we're goingon to go we're gonna go meet her they're like no we're not and then we pulled up in the driveway and it's the same house from the TV show and they're like oh my God we're actually here so yeah it was fun yes same house same everything is so funny because one of the camera people upstairs in the bedroom well the first show I you know I kind of like scared anyway she put scared camera girl okay so when we did the second show she came back so I have her her name autographed in my house so it's kind of cool to uh and actually I ran into uh I just got a little note from a uh a guy that was one of the camera crew guys and he was going to be in New Orleans and he said haven't seen you in about 11 years you remember that I'm the Mormon guy that was in one of the production crew back in Boston i' would love to see y'all again so anyway this has been a pleasant surprise I had you and him in the same week so kind of cool yeah that's awesome so wanted to kind of give everybody the backstory that basically I got when we was over there hanging out with you talking just picking your brain about the whole experience and a lot of people don't know you know what happened on the back end cuz people see it and a lot of people got inspired that you took a stand you know there's like you know what she wasn't having it all of this stuff going on she took a stand but I was shocked to find out at the time that you're not even really a super religious person that you would just kind of push to the edge and you grab to you know what you knew well I would to be true and uh and all that came out so like a lot of people watching you know they I I guess I guess they thought were go ahead I'm sorry religious fanatic is what they were they were probably thinking I I've always had God in my life I was I was baptized Catholic but I go to a non-denominational church I go to all churches it depends on where I'm at I'll visit any uh but I was not uh a Bible thumping religious fanatic I'm pretty open and I'm a little I'm more tolerable than I would I came off and what I look like on the show um I I don't really particularly line up with like per say religion and and like um I don't know I'm I'm just me and but I do believe in God I I give him praise for everything that has happened in my life uh and I've I give him all the glory for like bad times and things that if I didn't have him I would have never made it uh but I was like oh my goodness this is going to be religious thing why did you pick me why didn't you just put a a preacher's wife or someone that was well read and like quote the Bible I mean all this kind I mean the person the first uh show that I went on he act was so well read he could like quote the Bible he was a u i mean he just yeah he knew a lot of things and so it's like I I was uncomfortable and but I am I didn't let them know how uncomfortable some of the situations that they wanted to put me in that I would be I wasn't gonna go I I was I'm just not an astrologist I just don't do those kind of things not that I've never not done it I've done it before it's not like I've never done these things but I just felt uncomfortable and and I'm one of these people I don't like to be pushed if I don't want to do something I don't want to do something and so um I don't know some God just kind of reved up in me and I did feel that way and I felt uncomfortable and I do stand my guard and once I once I step foot and I say I'm one thing say I'm I'm going to stick to it so my word was there if you don't if you don't like stand for something you're going to fall for anything so that's kind of me yeah and they were just trying to put you in these weird scenarios in these weird situ um situations to try to get a reaction put me in some uncomfortable I had told them I didn't want to do something oh they got the reaction I mean I guess that's what I mean that's why they had the ratings that they had yeah I just wasn't calculating enough to see it all play out I'm just like gullible and believeing it and I really honestly felt bad for the guy the first guy that I went with because it's like everything was already planned and so it looked like he planned this and I was like so angry with him because I was like I'm not having anything to do with this and he didn't really have a choice because it was already set up you know so I I kind of felt bad for him but he he was a really nice cool guy I've talked to him since then and I didn't talk to the wife after the first show until many years later yeah and it's been recent years in the last I would say three years that I actually we've talked and and uh we' be come the first the second husband I don't care if I ever see him again he's out there and he's watching this I don't ever want to see you again I pray for you still so tell tell us a little bit about the filming process because I was shocked to kind of find out that uh ABC came in and rented the vacant house next to you guys and let the and and that's where they kept all their equipment and the film crew and everybody body stayed in the house next door right yeah odd they like get a house that's close and they like stay in there like all night overnight but what you don't see is that no one actually stays in the house with you so if there there's conflict like I had conflict on the second show we stayed up all night arguing and talking and arguing about things and when the camera crew came in the morning we were just sitting in the living room and what they didn't know what they knew later well we had been arguing all night long so it's not really a like comfortable situation okay um it not the first husband the one you know the first husband it wasn't like that we went to bed we did things you know what I'm saying we went to sleep and it was like normal and he was very even though we disagreed with with each other he was a really nice cool dude okay he just was a nice guy and but the second husband just was very he hated the of my skin he hated he knew who I was when I walked in the door I didn't have any idea who he was and he was just like we're Southern Hospitality so it's like we even if we don't like someone they come over you you still make them feel comfortable I wasn't treated that way the second show I was not treated that way the neighbors were really wonderful and gracious to me but he was just very ugly ugly ugly to me so I don't know I guess he thought in his mind he was thinking thinking oh they're putting you with an opposite but he wasn't necessarily my opposite they put me with him because they knew that I was outspoken and I would speak up to him but anyways that was a little I thought he was gonna kill me so like I was like kind of like okay you're getting a water down version of me at that at his house but um religion religion is something you just the first one you I know I'm getting y'all mixed up because I'm saying first and second show because I did two shows yeah yeah U the first husband the religious um show uh he he didn't he didn't push anything on me and and and it made me look like I was pushing like going to church and about well I did I wanted to go to church that day because I was like uncomfortable and I felt that was my comfort zone and so I did change everything and we went to a church uh but I I'm not as close-minded as everybody would like I would come off I'm definitely like that matter of fact I'm kind of like a free spirit uh I don't I'm not really judgmental of what other believe uh I mean I had a German exchange student that lived with me for a year and he's been back ever since and he's actually atheist and and he lived in my house and he comes back and and but he you know he'd go to church with us he'd do as we we did but I it wasn't one of those things I didn't convert him he hasn't changed he would do it to like because he kind of considered me like another mom but he did say oh boy Margaret if M if my family saw you in that first show they probably wouldn't have let me come to to your house okay so it's like anyways it's just it's all good it's all good it's many years later it's all good oh yeah so um whenever whenever we was down there you were you were telling me about some paranormal stuff that actually did happen behind the scenes that didn't make it onto the show some creepy things that were going on in the house can you talk a little bit about that yeah um my room like 3:00 in the morning they they had a heatwave Boston and they don't have air conditions there because it's like always cool and they had a book propped up in a window and just because it had gotten hot the Heat wve and three o'clock in the morning I hear Wham and I I woke up and it was like they had lighting down in the room and um a little bit of the it was smoking and a little bit of the carpet you know like have been smoking a little bit of the singon so anyways the guy that I was just talking about a few minutes ago he was the camera crew and they're like in the garage with camera crew and so I like I got up to the camera and I said look somebody's got to come in here right now I woke up and there's like there's some little smoke going on in here and I am on the third floor of this house I'm kind freaked out up here so that was one thing so it's kind of a little bit different um so it's a little bit and then uh on the way home what you don't see when you're going home is that I'm flying back and they had like a u a delay and so it was bad bad weather so when I'm getting back it's like one o'clock in the morning so it looks like everybody in my family's up and waiting it's not quite like that it's like one o'clock in the morning my granddaughter was definitely sleeping so the way you cut and edit I'm like man if you're gonna cut and edit me take some take a 100 pounds off of me don't take aund don't take it off my character but it's okay so that was one those was a couple things there was a lot of different little things um so after and it's funny because I can go go ahead you good no I I was it's it's funny because some of the things I said I didn't I was like so serious about everything I was saying and and it's like now it's gotten to be I went to New York and there was um a show that where they like had my sound bits of what things I say and they made it into a drinking game and I was like whoa so it's been kind of it's know uh gorgal and I can't psychic and like because I I guess because my Gap I say things totally different I think it's noral they've made songs and different different little things and then they like quote it but they don't tell me at first they wait wait till they like talk to me a while and they're like we don't want to freak you out but I want you to hear this hear what my phone does and it'll be like my voice and I'm like I saying that you know yeah yeah but anyway yeah I've actually uh the uh new intro that I made for the podcast I've got some of your your Clips in that as well it's classic man it's class classic stuff man hear uh yeah I'll send it to you you yeah you'll be able yeah you'll be able to hear it when we're done like because it's going to be on the intro but it's it's cool it's it's cool um so um after the show everything kind of changed for you right you you know small town of ponchatula Louisiana and then you're you're being flown out to Boston you're being flown out correctly too to to see um Jay Leno you were on the Jay Leno show the Tyra Bank show talk a little bit about this well when they called me up I thought it was a joke okay I was like Jay Leno what okay so they flew me out there and um they had somebody I don't know where he was it's a young guy they called me up and they said hey there's this dude and he made this bobble head of you do you want he's like uh making money off of you do you want to like shut it down and I was like what no he's a college student why would I shut it down he's if he can make some money off of that it's no different than what what the TV show did I mean come on they made money off of me yeah no let it let him do so he did and it sold I don't know what it was like $960 $980 I don't know what I don't remember a bobble head that he just made out of nothing and when you press a button it would be things that I would say and it was my voice so so everybody bid on it and I heard a lot of different people bid on it and then Jay Leno's staff bought it from someone and they actually U brought the person that had bought it that they bought it from on the show but it was like a private thing because she wanted to meet me and then um she said she was just compelled God told her to buy this this bobblehead and she did that was a true story and I was like what 900 she says I know my husband almost she was a truck driver's wife okay it wasn't like she had a job big job of something yeah she says no I'm telling you I was compelled to do it because I saw something like my heart went out to you and I wanted to give this to you because I thought you were supposed to have it but Jay Leno bought it from her she got her money and then he gave it to me on his show and uh Tyra Tyra was scared of me at first I think okay like I mean she was like not I mean like she was like oh boy but she's beautiful in person really beautiful and once we broke the ice like jayen I think he thought I was gonna be stuffy and when I get nervous I say crazy things and so I was pretty like radical whenever like when I was on there with him and matter of fact he's gonna be on the coast and I haven't seen him in all these years and I'm gonna go to the coast and see if he I go see him on his his show oh yeah but uh I was in a green room and that night it was called estrogen night and so it was atlis more set myself and um oh my gracious Roseanne Bar so Roseanne B went pass the room and when she St saw me she started screaming oh my God that's that crazy woman you're that crazy woman and I like look and I like when I recognized because she had blonde hair and she had these shades on and she had lost like a lot of weight I didn't know who she was but the voice of course still there and I looked at her and I was like oh my gracious never in a million years would I think you would recognize me and I wouldn't recognize you and besides that you're calling me crazy you don't want to did the national anthem and she said you know what you know how many years ago that was but what she's remembered about people say that she said I well I guess we're in the same boote because people gonna think remember my clips and my that's what I'm gonna go down as you know so anyway it was an interesting meeting I got to do some really wonderful things I got to go to uh a celebrity Texas Helm tournament at the Palms and that was interesting that was really interesting there's a drag queen in New York that like did an act of me and Sher and that Candace Kane she's like aous um I didn't I didn't know anything about this I was in New York and she invited me there it was it was wonderful beautiful she's like a hey Clon beautiful woman and uh that was interesting and but you know the biggest thing is um even even the gay community they they're they're question with me they they feel like they can ask a religious question to me and so people that maybe that would not be reached like think that it's okay to ask me questions and I guess that that that's what kind kind of God did this crazy show or whatever that I'm able to relate to maybe people that would be unlikely that would not go to just like to a preacher or or something and they always want to ask me you know my my view on religion and the gay that was one of the big questions the gay community and how I feel what do I feel and I just believe that God loves all people and that's between that person and God and that's just it might not be the politically religious thing that people are supposed to say but that's just how I feel in my heart and that's what I speak from so whatever I get I get made a lot yeah the biggest I guess the the most hurtful thing is the hardest people that were like very very just just really strong and very judgmental or the Christian Community the Christian Community to me was just not um they're very hard and very critical just just terribly critical instead of being like embracing and you know they're ready to just like pounce you you know and so I learned a lot that's what I learned from that show I I did I learned from that show I Le I mean it was just uh people that you would not even think that were just like embracing and open to hear what you had to say whether they believe you know agreed with you or not not but it was those Christian people that were ready to point the finger and like say something about what I I said were the the most critical so anyways I learned that that was like a an interesting thing so it's like I just take it with a grain of salt you got to you got to when I met you was my was my daughter still alive when I met you she was and my daughter she was as she was there yes a I I was trying to like well this is like a hello from heaven today because it's like I very few people that met us on the show and actually met Ashley and so that was like um yeah yeah so I have had a lot of people call in and or or try to get in contact with me and they'll say you know and it's and it's people that um do not have God in their life and I do understand it and they'll say Okay God Warrior because I didn't give that name to me people gave that name to me yeah God Warrior since this happened with your daughter she she died how do you feel about God now do you still believe in God and do you think uh because he allowed this to happen how do you feel any differently and I guess from being out in the public and you're out there it's like and especially with my stance on my stance and how I felt I really I am not gonna lie I was mad oh I was mad I was mad at God I was mad at the work I was mad at everything and then putting you in there it's like you always I was getting hit with these questions and then crazy things people would say crazy crazy but you get immune to it so I can just tell you I definitely God carried me through that I don't know how you don't die the moment things like that happen to you but he definitely was there and he had my back and he he held me when I couldn't even like deal with anything so um my my my faith has grown stronger through through that death and pain so uh I'm not saying I don't have bad days still but you you live because you don't have a choice and I wasn't going to let even death of something so painful steal my joy so anyways um a woman called me up and said hey we have a dance studio and I'm like do I look like a dance teacher do I look like the epitome of whatever I'm like oh you know what if ABY Lee can do it I can do it she said God told me I'm supposed to I'm G hand the studio over to you and I'm like are you I said I'm not the dance teacher my daughter's not here I have a younger daughter and she said um no you're supposed to do this I didn't have but weekend decide to do it and so this was two years ago we opened the studio I wish you could see it because I would give you a tour it's it's a beautiful studio and I I'm telling you I'm sitting here right now talking to you and I'm going this is definitely a God thing because there's no way that this all would have happened because bar after Ashley's death Barry and I both quit our jobs we stopped working I closed the studio we were the Rock Bottom like totally just did not do anything in it like we we really just didn't really have a lot of zest for life at that point and if You' see the recital and and what we did what I did and what we did we put on in this little franklon town of Louisiana we put as closest to a Broadway show as we could possibly do and it was wonderful so we we're touching some lives in some different ways even had your music for across the floor I'll have to see you that that's awesome I think I think you hit the nail on the head though I think I think you hit the nail on the head it's just as just being with this attitude of gratitude even you know to thank God for the good times rejoice in the good in the good times but even in the hard times as well whenever the rain comes and to to still you know have that Faith to still you know keep the faith to to for him to help get you through it I mean it's only going to hurt you to kind of you know get bitter and and get and get mad at God or whatever and try to do it by yourself and and kick him to the side but whenever you can be thankful and see him in the hard times man that's what it's that's what the true faith and and the Christian experience is truly about it is it is I'm telling you after this show it was like I mean like I'm not kidding you it's like I had The Good the Bad and the Ugly and we were just getting like bombarded with like positive negative all different types of things I mean and then after Ashley's death it's like I did I mean I totally grew in faith I had to I didn't have a choice and it came to a time no one could really talk to me because I'm so strong willed that's my Italian in me I'm all over the place but it was like it came a time that it was just me and God and as Quirky as the show was God placed different people in my Liv my life and it was like and it put me in a position where it's like people that I had touched would not been was was some people that would have never ever like related to like watching some TV evangelist and Tak somebody radical and crazy or whatever and I ha I have in a small way touched some people okay and if they were looking at me and seeing how I was gonna crumble after Ashley's death actually they were like the empowerment of how it helped me to dud to get through because I didn't really want to talk to anybody that like knew me or knew I didn't want I'm I didn't want someone to feel sorry for me so it was those strangers that were from the show that would contact me and they would say look I I really sorry about your daughter I'm I'm I'm sorry about your daughter but they had questions about the show and so they still ask questions about the show and it's like it was those people that helped that God placed in my past it's really weird how God has a domino effect in your life who would have thought a crazy show a reality TV show would put me in a place where I'd meet strangers and they were what had me get out of bed after her death more so than even friends and family that I was close to because they didn't know her and so I could like have a separate thing of talking about it wasn't painful to talk to a stranger yeah I don't know I can't explain it it wasn't as personal yeah definitely yes yes yeah I'm sorry for you lost she was an awesome person and uh it was it was it was it was awesome to meet her and uh and you know your entire family that you welcomed Us in just to hang out man with you don't you didn't even know who we were you didn't never know know who we were and you invited us over for a freaking barbecue me and some weird guys you know oh I like see I like I like I don't like I'm one of these people I color outside the box you know I'm not one of those people that like plain vanilla put it like this my friends I could not have a party with all my friends because my friends none of them will like each other because they're all from one ex to the other oh yeah but I just I just do not like uh Hoy toy I mean I've done those things I would so much rather a barbecue with like a total stranger coming and just if there's a park bench and I'm sitting on it and there's somebody with me I'm gonna know who they are so anyways I loved that I loved it when y'all came and did that and you weren't scared of me you came most the time people are like scared of me I'm like I'm really not like that I'm loud but I'm not really like that yeah yeah that that's the weird thing cuz I think a lot of people think that if they met you and this is just from the show that you're going to sit them down and Corner them off and start quoting B you know Bible scriptures just from the show but then we whenever we met you you're like Southern Hospitality down to earth you didn't mention anything about that we had to kind of you know what I'm saying pick your brain you know what I'm saying just to get you to talk about that stuff you know yes I I mean I I mean you definitely know when you come to my house that that God is present there I mean like right now you when you came I didn't have this on the wall but I took all of Ashley's C uh costume jewelry and I made this huge cross that with broken mirrors from her sand Studio it's really cool and it's on my wall but it's like it's not like I am like you know Babble and look I've had every kind of after the show every kind of denomination came to my house and had to come pray with me oh my God somebody s the Mormons came two days in a row okay and finally like after like I was like look people are sending you out here for a joke but let's let's I tell you what you come back here tomorrow we're gonna have dinner and we're gonna sit down and we're going to talk okay and so so even whoever's out there that sent those Mormons to my house something great came out of it because I made every year it became a new I have a whole list of of a different Mormon guys that come uh to the house over the years that was meant for like to be to be sarcastic and funny like to save me and it wound up being a wonderful thing we've had some great friendships form out of that so whenever whenever you had some different I've had some people from California whenever you were talking about yeah whenever you were talking about the um the drag queen show and whenever we was over there you told a story about going to the bathroom at the at the drag queen show I want you to talk a little bit about that because that cracked me up oh my great the drag queen show I well they had this guy and I can't even think of name which part are you talking about you talking about not the guy from qu from St guy you know that guy uh no you were talking about how you went to the bathroom and then you were in you were in the bathroom and then a bunch of people like the gay community just knew you were in there and oh came oh yes I forgot about that yes they came in there and they were all up in there and I was like I mean it was just like it was the most craziest thing because

down there so um just good fling crazy fun yeah it's totally different man it's totally different down there and so okay so Hammond what's the first thing that comes to mind that was a lot of one words I'm sorry I was track H I think it South Eastern that's where our college is there's a college there so it grew with the college town um Hammond I went to Hammond high so it's like we were the you know home of the tour of the tours and I was a a Hammond tornado um so so what do what else I thinking Hammond um Hammond's grown we have the mall there so it's it's not far away so I miss the old mall I missed the old Mall H the indoor mall I do Hammond Square Mall is gone it's not like that anymore you get a corn dog at the got a Target over there uh what do I there's a place called they don't have that I know they were awesome though man you were definely old school they used to have the fried cheese you remember that y remember that they used to have what else about the old mall I was we were thinking back to that you used to could walk the mall and like exercise by walking in the mall that Hammond Square was fun they used to have like sock hops inside like open all night but nope it's not the same anymore that's definitely not the same anymore H's still there that you there's not really well the brown door you remember the brown door a college bar it's still there yeah you don't or the the crescent and then there's Mariners that has the best chicken wings but that might be since you've been going what about Tommy's Pizza you know about Tommy's Pizza I'm not sure not right off well that's what I think of when I what about think of ham have you ever heard that um you know we have the have you ever heard of the devil Circle in Hammond the devil Circle over there by the college I have supposedly it was a maze that was shaped like a pentagram by over there by the college well you know what I'm glad you tell me this because I am not gonna be going over there anymore you know what I because you know they were like also known that they were like saying that there was um like some witchcraft going on in Hammond or theal Benny somewhere like they had that they had something that was going on and then we you know we had that church that I went to that church right there I went to I went to that church yeah Hosanna Hosanna assembly yeah well that you when that happened that was happening the same time I was doing the show so all that was going on at the same time so it was like that's how long ago that was but yeah that was right there yeah that was that was terrible y terrible ter terrible terrible that was crazy um I'm guessing it's in Hammond uh one thing that we're we're definitely going back to Hammond every year now for the um the festival what is it um the Renaissance Festival in Hammond ham oh I love the Renaissance Festival yeah we're gonna go there every year now it's it's amazing they the best homemade root beer well you gonna have to like like text me and and and I'll meet you there oh is is it amazing I love all of it it's wonderful and they have some great Crafters out there and it's so authentic and it's it's just interesting if you never have a chance to do it's growing too every year they keep adding more and more more you were to go work there's a lot of people that come in just to work it I wish they did stuff at night I wish they did stuff at night because it's all during the day they do stuff all the entire they I think they Clos on day yes like six or seven they close down but I figured like it would be get crazy at night you know yes they do yes it probably is and it's like in a and they don't really have a whole lot of security kind of things they pay for security so that's probably why it's during the day but it is really cool some of these people their authentic Garb is just absolutely beautiful you know you can buy a lot of stuff there too I love that see if I could live in any time period I would have lived in that time period I know it's awesome man awesome yeah it's really that's really a cool thing I forget about because it's like what is the month it's like a certain month and it runs into Strawberry Festival maybe I guess November J November yeah yeah it runs for a for a little while but it's really that's really like nice that's nice that's definitely something to go see yeah people forget people forget about it because it's in like a little the cluded place and we've been doing this for years I don't know how many years it's been been doing it but it's it's been there for a while so it's very interesting what's so cool about it is is we went to the Renaissance Festival here and it was cool but they like rent out the fairgrounds and it's just they just have booths up at the fairgrounds but in Louisiana in in in Hammond like they have property that's just for that and all the structures and the rides and everything it's just for that that's why it's so cool man yeah it stays there it stay stationary we have another thing that's here uh it's it's one of the churches that Christmas time they do this and it's like I can't even think which one it is but it's like you get on a uh an open bus cart thing and they take you through but it was it's like a a reenactments of um you know just different things that are going you know like the Bible kind of thing but it was it's a live thing and so it's like they're singing they're caroling they're doing all kinds of and and they serve you hot chocolate and they do all kinds of oldfashioned things and it is grown like I mean I didn't haven't gone in a couple years but because it's like you gotta wait in line for like hours um but anyways it that's an interesting thing that that they' brought here and it's kind of similar to that because everything that they have or like it's on a piece of property where it's all stationary and they just keep adding to it so but yeah now that Renaissance Festival is it's known people come from all over to come to it so um I know I went to uh it's a I can't even think where it was it's somewhere right here in Louisiana u a reenactment of like the Civil War and so those PE the people that like do that they also are the same people that do the Renaissance things so it's like really really really good it's really cool I know they do all kind it's all kinds of things they even have like the turkey legs yeah beer and all the uh things that they're making and and and with the with the what's J they do the Jou yeah they that was really cool and then they have like the you know the jene for like the kids the make make believe one where they like let them get on the thing that's kind of like a zipline oh yeah I think I think that's dangerous but my daughter did it last year it probably is it probably is but it's very it's like kids love that love it there you know what I'm saying they're make and I love how they take all the vegetables and like the turnips and they make like their dying things it's like it's very education y you know like dying like the and doing the different colors from the vegetables and things like and making the the Soaps the homemade soaps I love it because I like I'm all into like the oils and incenses yeah and they like yeah we got to stop we got to stop talking about it I'm ready to go back I'm I'm ready to go I'm terrible let's get so H okay Springfield what about tick ball Springfield springf you know I think it's 10 Liz I don't I don't really know I'm uh I have family that's from there and my family that was on my mama s were like like Outlaw and like they were like oh you Springfield you ready got you have some Fighters okay so it's good that you have family that are from from Springfield um Springfield they have a great you know great school there great teachers there very small ve community that definitely uh stand by each other uh I don't I don't really get to Springfield that often but I have there and uh I actually went to Holden Holden high school for one year so uh I know holding rockets and it's a little small town too but very close-knit Hungarian uh you know I went to like a little Hungarian Church in in that area and so um it's a it's just really really a little quaint place I think I think that I know independent I think that um Springfield made made the news years ago during Hurricane Frederick I think that that graveyard right there when the hurricane came through those those caskets came actually came out the ground in Springfield remember that yeah yes yes floating around town that's another thing that people don't realize about Louisiana is that I guess we take it for for granted because we have Cemetery uh you know people come and like go go look at the cemetery tours because we have caskets that are above ground because the you know the sea level one and it's like they're above ground they're not not like in in anything or underground and so my German exchange student when he came here he was like whoa he wanted to go there and he he didn't know anything about a snowball he's like what is a snowball so he like loves snowballs so um drive through snowball stands oh yeah heck yeah yeah every corner yeah or drive through dakir shops I know like what a drive through yeah nobody believed this here nobody believed this here when we told it's like I don't understand it but it is I don't I don't understand it either because because my uncle used to drive through with a van full of kids and he buy all the kidss dairies we're like 11 12 13 years old he's buying everybody daies I don't understand it either yeah but uh I think it is it is that's that's true true what about what about beo because I used to live in beo down uh CC Road
