(00:01):
Hello, missieur killing Nash. HappyFriday. It will be tomorrow show today,
but we're not working on Monday.We're not working tomorrow. We'll be
back on Tuesday. So let's talkabout what we're gonna talk about it on
Tuesday. Well, we got allkinds of things we can talk about.
You've already taken a objection to MorganWallen sweet tea. Yeah, I gotta
drink sugar free anything no, sothen you won't be drinking this. I

(00:24):
drink unsweetened or sweetened, but Idon't drink substitute. Sweet Nurse. I
think it's pronounced real because that wouldmake sense. Real tea. R y
l is how they spell it.Okay, I'm not sure is it ryle?
Probably real, but anyway, it'smore real. Morgan Wallen is an
investor in that company, and he'salso listed as a creator, and he

(00:46):
says he has come out with hisown line of sweet tea, the sugar
free. It's made with something calledpolyphanal and he says, this tea,
you'll take it right back to yourmean moss from porch on a hot summer
day. Now, I don't knowwhere we can buy it because when he
lists the stores Sprouts, Farmer's Market, Reezers, Brookshire Grocers I know shop

(01:12):
right, that's where my mama livesup in Connecticut. And Wegman's. Yeah,
I don't think we have any ofthose here, So maybe you have
to go online if you want totry to find this ryl t from Morgan
Wallen. I'm very skeptical. Oneof my grandmothers, if he had ever

(01:33):
gone to her port, should havekicked him in the butt. Oh geez,
even after she came down with adiabetes. My other grandmother used to
use sacharin. That was that waslike in the seventies and early eighties.
People thought that was the miracle,that was better than cocaine. Now,
to my grandmother's credit, she wouldalways have two pictures of tea, but

(01:57):
you had to ask because if yougot the wrong one and drank that saccharin
stuff, it make your face wrinkleup. That's nasty. We now my
grandfather drank it. There was atime in this country when we thought that
saccharine and cocaine were not only notbad for you, possibly good for you.
That's true. Um. I waswatching a thing the other day where

(02:19):
they were talking. I was saying, on this show. He was like,
we'll take a little cocaine. That'llhelp you. I don't do it.
That'll do that'll get you through that. That's why people love coca cola.
That's that was there was a pickme up. It's a little pick
me up as sharp as your brain. It's like Caffeinely, what do you
think one day caffeine will ever belike like something if they're like, oh
my god, it's like giving everybodybreak kids or something that we're like,

(02:42):
whoops. For years we thought thatwas good. Well, here's the lesson
learned. Forget about the scientist,and I have a damn thing to do
with it. Okay, Um,cocaine obviously need a better lobbyist. It's
all you need. It's a goodlobbyist, that's all you need. Where
about your damn doctor, what's yourlobbyists tell your congressman? My doctor said,
who cares? What'd your lobbyists say? Exactly? My lobbyists got a

(03:07):
pocket full of cash, can buyall kind of damn things for you to
do through Congress. Speaking of cash, Johnathan, we have a Morning Russell
regular who has been invited to theniece's graduation party in California. This is
a niece who they don't even getChristmas cards from this person, so it's

(03:30):
like they're just completely out of leftfield, just inviting you, obviously knowing
you're not going to fly across thecountry to come to the graduation, so
you're looking for a gift. Yeah. I would make this if I went
to California and happened to be therethat week, even with my profound,

(03:54):
constant protest of never ever going toDisney World or Disneyland end. Okay,
I would turn this into an awkwardrecreation of one of my favorite movies,
well, not one of my favoritemovies because I can't remember the name of
it, Million Dollar Babe Clint Eastwoodwhen he was training the girl died.

(04:17):
Yeah, remember when she was inthe hospital and the family came to see
her and they hadn't shown up,hat and shown up, hatting shown up,
Okay, and then they finally showup and they're all worn out.
They got on Mickey Mouse T shirtsand blew it out. Yeah, I've
got to show up. We're ina Mickey Mouse T shirt, you know,
all my souvenirs on, and gotmy mouse ears. Just stopped by

(04:38):
the house don't even part the car, just leave it in the street,
running open the door and walk up, knock on the door and go,
yeah, I came out here togive you your present. Congratulations. Get
back in the car and go.So you are saying, give a present,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah, give present. Get present.
Because she's like, well, whydo we have to buy this girl
a present? We haven't even spokento her, and like, don't go
you know, don't go crazy.Get her something for tw twenty five bucks,

(05:01):
something cheap? What is it?What is a good college denomination for
cash gifts? Because I am Sallygot one of those little cards you put
the cash in, okay, Andshe and I were discussing how much we
should give. And this person isgraduating from where high school? High school?
So you want to say, Idon't know. I mean like when

(05:27):
I was a kid, it seemedlike twenty dollars was the gift. Okay,
but it can't be twenty anymore.No, maybe it's forty. I
got a fifty, okay, Ithought, I said, you know something,
A hundred seemed like a little absorbentover that's over over the top.
Yeah, I'm buying your affection now. Well, it's a guy, so
well, it's still buying affection.I think fifty's a sweet spot, all

(05:51):
right, Maybe I could give hima gift certificate for some real tea.
How about that? Hey, ifhe's a Morgan Wallen fanly everybody's a Morgan
wall And he's a guy. He'san eighteen year old guy in South Carolina.
You don't think he don't love MorganWalling. Whatever, Morgan walland Sun
and I'm buying exactly. So yeah, you gotta by the way back to
the Morgan Wallan story. You gottafigure out a way to get make sure

(06:12):
that thing is like a I don'tknow Lowe's public should have danged Ben and
Piggy Wigglies. We still got onein time I've been. I know there's
there's not as many as there usedto be, But that's begging. I'm
Morgan Walling. Sweet Tea is begging, begging. I don't know how you
let that one slip by um otherstories. This lady. I am so

(06:36):
inspired by this woman and I don'tand I just heard about her. Her
name's Tory Gerbig. She lives insomewhere in Kentucky, Bowling Green, Kentucky,
Tory graduated from UH Western Kentucky Universityin twenty ten. I think it
was okay two thousand and nine.Couldn't get a job. The only job

(06:59):
you could find was selling insurance.Said that was about a thirty thousand dollars
a year job. She and hernew husband were overwhelmed with student loans,
had over seventy grand in college debt. But then they had a mortgage,
then they got two car loans.They're just swimming in debt, and she's
trying to figure out how to makesome money. So on the side,
she opens up an eBay shop calledpink Lily. I want to know what

(07:23):
she was doing in twenty eleven withpink Lily, because it says it took
her about three hundred dollars in investmentson products. Where did she get these
products? That's what I'm interested in, but it doesn't say it in the
story. However, her and herhusband were able to create a vibe,

(07:44):
they said with the online store thatwould make women feel confident in their fashion
choices by twenty thirteen, so nowwe've gone two years. Within two years,
it's making five hundred dollars a day. I believe it that's fantastic.
So she quits her job because she'sbeen working obviously as the insurance salesperson at

(08:05):
that up till that moment, andsays, I'm gonna just pour even more
time. I have been telling Janeyshe should do this for the better part
of four years. I'm not gonnaread this paragraph. It's actually two sentences.
Pink Lily achieved a revenue of morethan four million dollars at the end
of their first full time year,and by twenty twenty one had increased to
one hundred and forty one million dollarsa year. I've been telling Janey she

(08:33):
should be doing this. They havenow opened a physical store and have a
two hundred and fifty person staff.You know when you meet somebody who every
time they go somewhere, they're justdressed perfectly for the occasion, and it
may not be what you would typicallyexpect, but you look at it to
go, you know, that's agreat outfit for where you're going. Janie
does that every time, And I'mlike with the zoom availability now and the

(08:58):
way that you pick cloth and whereyou find, she finds different clothes at
different places. She's like that,you know, She's like, what do
you call those people that influence her? Superstars? Have them? Stylist.
She's like a stylist for everyday living. So I'm saying, you really ought
to be using your zoom on yourphone for consultancy with a fee, and

(09:22):
then you put the clothes up andyour web page that you personally picked out,
so you're like that instead of goingto Bell and seeing what their buyers
picked up in New York and sentout to every store in America or wherever
it is you buy clothes, andmaybe you got a boutique here in town
where the person here locally goes toall the markets and picks out all the
clothes and stuff. Janey really shouldbe doing that. She would kill it.

(09:46):
Well, but dad don't know squat, So I don't know what this
girl's last name is now I probablyshouldn't say her mother's last name. So
when I was single, um gosh, about ten years ago now, man,
time sure does fly by. Idated a woman who lives here in

(10:07):
town and I and I liked hera lot. It just wasn't meant for
us to be anyway. She hadchildren that were I guess in high school.
Maybe when it had gone to collegealready. Anyway, she contacted me
to the other day, her daughter, Rachel Uh just signed a deal with
iHeartRadio. And so she is abig podcaster who just tells you how to

(10:33):
just tells you how to dress,that's all right, pells you how to
dress, tells you how to howto approach marriage, how to do all
those sorts of things. And it'slike her, God, did that happen?
How do you? How did youpull that off? I don't know,
but that was her side hustle,was having her own little podcast.
This girl had a side hustle.You know, I don't know where.

(10:54):
See. The thing that it fascinatesme is where did she get the clothes?
That's yeah, what was the threehundred dollar investment in? And that's
the funny thing because Janey literally inNashville will go to like she'll go not
Goodwill, but she'll go to somewhat do you call the stores with a
consignment shops. She'll go to someconsignment shop and find something that may and

(11:18):
not have been a hit at thetime, or something that just didn't catch
on, but the way she putsit together with something else makes it work.
And she'll also just go to thedepartment stores and pick up this,
that and the other. I'm nowI've gone to Pinkalilly dot com to read
about our story. Yeah, andshe's kind of just reiterating the same thing.
Um the online community of friends.UM. I wish she would tell

(11:41):
me because these are all brand newclothes. These are She's not anything,
and I don't believe she's making anything. I think she's going to like she's
just some sort of going to themarkets shop and saying, like, you
know, like she's showing one ofher where houses where she has like five
thousand of each one of these dressesand every size. Sure, how did

(12:07):
that get started? She had toat some point said I'm betting big on
these two dresses. I have threehundred dollars. I'm going to buy each
one at ten dollars a piece,and I'm going to sell them at twenty
five dollars piece. And it works. You go to the market in New
York, and you go to theone Atlanta, and then there's another big
one I believe it's in Chicago,and then there's a couple on the West

(12:30):
coast. San Francisco has one.But if you go to New York.
In Atlanta, you could cover probablyninety percent of the garments that are going
to be available from Taiwan today.But I mean she was doing it in
Bowling Green, Kentucky. She saidshe did it all from her living room.
She never left her house. Andyou know, you're going to see
more and more. I think peopleare being able to do this successfully because

(12:50):
a lot of these department stores areshutting down, So you're not going to
have the availability of walking in andsee what Belk or Riches or whatever at
department store that's will open or soonto be closed. What their buyer thought
when they went to New York.Now it's kind of like so it's like
having a specialized buyers, like havinga stylist. Well, I mean here

(13:11):
she is in twenty nineteen. Thatwas the first time she did over a
million orders in a month. Wow, in twenty nineteen. Now she has
five twenty five thousand square foot warehousesand one hundred and sixty thousand square foot
warehouse. Yeah, I can't unbelievable. It's like stepping out of a different
planet for me to be to sitthere, will look at five different dresses

(13:35):
and tell you which one's going tosell. I don't even know, but
some people have that gift. Butwhat is your side hustle? Some people
are just driving, like the fooddelivery people. That's a side hustle.
You can't really turn that into abusiness. Although I remember years ago some

(13:56):
of my friends that had paper routes, they became kind of entrepreneurs. I
wonder whatever became of those kids.They would somehow back in those days when
people had paper. Do people evenhave paper routes anymore? They would,
they would because I guess there waslike a waiting list to be the paperboy,
because everybody knew if that's a greatjob, you got to get up
so that we even back in thosedays, had afternoon newspaper, that's right,

(14:20):
So you have one. The ColumbiaRecord was the afternoon paper. It
was a sister station, a sisterpaper to the state. So that was
probably the best job. If youcould get the afternoon paper route. You
would get home from school at saythree, start delivering the paper at three
thirty, be done by like five, that's right, And and you could
pick up twenty dollars thirty dollars aweek, whatever it was that you could

(14:43):
make. But so all these kidswanted it, and I knew a couple
of guys who actually would get assignedthose paper routes and then give them to
you. So if you didn't getpicked by the Hartford Current or the Hartford
Times, I think was the Icould buy the out from you. Yeah,
well yeah, or I would justsay I'll give you. You know,

(15:03):
look, if that route pays thirtydollars a week, I'll give you
ten dollars. And so I keeptwenty myself and the kids are just making
money. I'm like, you're likethe mob man. Yeah, you are
selling the contract on a route.Yeah, that was great. So what's
your side, hustle? We lovethat. I want to make some more
money on the side. Everybody,well, everybody's looking at Joe Biden.

(15:24):
Almost in a recession, never quitein a recession? Are we killing never?
No, no, no, you'llnever be in one before he changed
the definition of that word five times. Joe Biden inflation raged economy. We
certainly have to find a way tomake some extra money around here. Brother,
I've already searched my sofa three times. I went home yesterday on my

(15:46):
sofa threw its cushions up
