jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (00:00):
For some reason, that computer,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (00:02):
I know.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (00:03):
it fought me tooth and nail this
morning and it took forever andI was almost in tears, but I got
it done and I rushed home andwashed this body real fast to
get out here to do this.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (00:16):
Get my

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (00:24):
today we are fresh off Stuart's first
appearance in our live sale thatwe have through our app and
Facebook and Instagram.
Um, but that was your first timelast night.
You did an excellent job.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (00:40):
it was my first time.
I just went into it blind.
Literally.
Since.
You know, those of you who don'tknow that when it's live, and
the lights you have to use, andyou know, all these movie star
problems, if you wear glasses,they make big circles and you
look like a bug.
the glasses that we have to wearare,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:03):
I

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:03):
I wear I wear bifocals, so

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:06):
know that.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:07):
I do.
So reading was a little bit of achallenge, so I just had to wing
it.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:16):
So I have many pairs of the same red
pair of glasses.
So I just knocked my lenses outand, um, and I can see close up.
It's just when it gets to thatcomputer type and it's about
three feet away.
I'm just like, no, I can't seethat.
So I have to rely on otherthings, but I don't know how
much you could see last night,but you know,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (01:33):
Well, I mean, I can see.
I just can't legibly put wordstogether unless it's like one of
those, like zoom

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (01:44):
Yeah.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:45):
zoom in with your hand type deal,
then

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (01:48):
Well,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (01:49):
make it work.
Uh, yeah, no, it was, it wasfun.
It was good.
Um, I think.
Me not knowing really whatproduct was coming up next made
it better for me, becauseusually if I'm, uh, in a, in a

(02:10):
speech or a something like that,if I'm prompted with something,
I'll fuck it up every time Iwill.
And I have learned over theyears with many things that I
have spoken at people like,where's your script?
I'm like, oh, please.
I'm unscripted today, like, I'llknow, like, the 4, main points,
but then everything else getsbuilt in.

(02:30):
So to me, that actually made iteasier.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (02:33):
Good.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (02:33):
Um,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (02:34):
Well, just to let you know, even
though we put like, I think lastnight we got through every item
that we put up.
No, that's not true.
I know I can think of two thingsthat I didn't put up.
She just didn't think about, um,but we usually 23, 25 items in
to show and then if Dwayne'sinvolved.
He gets exhausted about 16 itemsin and he's like, I'm done.

(02:55):
I'm just done.
So there's more out of, so younever know, like we put stuff in
and you just never know whatyou're actually gonna make it
on.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (03:04):
um, I think, you know, I went back
and watched bits and pieces ofit after I got home and, you
know, that I could actually seepeople's comments and, you know,
because I had glasses on.
And, um, so it was interesting,you know, I mean, I didn't
realize that many people tunedin.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (03:22):
I guess it's a fascinating, um,
you know, we talked about thison here before about how
retail's changing and, we'rejust trying to keep up with the
kids cause Lord, you know, God,it's hard.
cause it just keeps changing,but, it's a fascinating little
thing to be part of it.
Cause I love the interactability, interactivity, however

(03:44):
you would say that, um, becauseyou can ask questions and we try
to give you instant answers.
Um, and then you can watch it inthe replay afterwards if you
can't.
Watch it live.
But, um, you know, like lastnight we had, uh, Patricia who's
on, who's been, we didn't haveher on.
She was watching last night andparticipating.
And she has, I don't know howmany times that she's ordered

(04:07):
online.
Um, but she's ordered enough towhere I recognize her name.
And only because there's twodifferent names that.
The order is placed under onename and it ships to another
name.
And every time I go to put thelabel on the box, I'm like, is
this the right person?
So she, she's stuck out in mymind.
Um, but you know, she alwayssays like, this is her little
happy time.
And I think it's a great way forus.

(04:28):
You know, we, we hear, you know,every week that we're the store,
the storefront, the brick andmortar is a lot of people's
happy place.
And I think that our on onlineAvenue for our store has also
then created that happy littleplace for people to come.
Because there's a lot of peoplethat show up every week and I
love that.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (04:45):
Yeah, that's and that's kind of what
amazed me.
And, you know, maybe we add atwist to it the next time that
we need to put a little Patsyand Adina in it and have a glass
of Chardonnay as we talk and wecan toast our guests.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (04:59):
Well, oh, there we go.
Well, well, Dwayne doesn'tdrink.
I

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (05:02):
Well, he can have sparkling

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (05:04):
he, yeah, now listen, I had, I have
had plenty of bourbons whilewe've been on.
So,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (05:09):
there may have been vodka in my Sprite
last night.
Maybe.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (05:14):
uh, but you know, it's late.
And you know, a lot of peoplewho do their lives, they do them
later than we do.
They won't start till like eighto'clock and Lord at eight
o'clock.
I'm like, I'm ready to go tobed, you know, last night after
we finished.
Um, so it was about almost anhour, I don't remember what time
we finished.
And then I got, involved intrying to fix something on
online and I didn't leave thestore till.

(05:36):
830.
I got to get home from nineo'clock.
Cause I had to wait in line atthe blasted.
Oh, I'm not even going to saywhat name of fast food

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (05:43):
Oh, I know because we had to wait in
line too because as, you know,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (05:45):
Oh

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (05:48):
last night, I had my five and a half
year old with me and tried toget her food before we came and
then sat in line and line andline and still didn't get to
order.
So, we just left and came.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (06:00):
no.
I didn't realize that part.
I heard,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (06:02):
we still We sat in line for 31
minutes and still didn't get toorder.
So finally I just backed up andleft.
I was like, we got to go.
She's like, but daddy, I needsome nuggies.
And I said, well, you're goingto have some peanut butter
crackers and we'll get somenuggies afterwards.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (06:18):
Well, after when I got home or when my
little boy homicide ran througha drive through and you know,
the whole idea of a drivethrough is that, you know, it's
supposed to be fast and, um, itwas, I mean, I know I waited at
least 20 minutes and I was theonly person in line now, here's
the deal.
I realize it's nine o'clock andI know that.
You know, they don't have a lotof hot food, hot and ready to

(06:41):
run out the door.
Right?
Like I got that right.
I ordered.
Then the little guy comes, she,she goes, will you pull up to
that parking spot?
And I'll bring it out to you.
I was like, yeah, sure.
So I pull up and I'm sittingthere and I'm talking to mom on
the phone and she's like, areyou home yet?
I'm like, no, I'm still waiting.
And she's like, Oh, well, isthis, are they bringing it to
you?
I was like, I hope so.
They told me they were going to,and so he finally comes up and

(07:04):
he's like, here, I'm sorry foryour weight.
And I'm like, oh, that's okay.
And he hands me this itty bittylittle bag.
And I had ordered some chickenand, a drink and a fry or
regular fries come with it.
And, they'd already given mydrink and he hands me over this
little bag and it has like 10pieces of, chicken in it.
I can tell it's a small box andthen like, he's running back in

(07:24):
and I'm like, wait, where's myfries?
I don't, don't I get fries?
And I was so, and so I was soaggravated.
I just pulled off.
I was like, I'm done.
And then I got home and I openedthe box and there was my
chicken, but no dipping sauce.
And I almost drove back over andburnt it down last night.
I was so frustrated because itwas 9 30.

(07:48):
Yeah.
I'm eating dinner and I was justscrew it.
I'll just, you

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (07:52):
Yes.
Oh, great.
I get it.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (07:55):
Um, well, I'm glad you had a good
time.
I

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (07:57):
Yeah, it was,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (07:57):
it's something that we're enjoying
doing and we're going to try tostart doing a lot more live
things in the future.
I don't even know how much I'vetold you all yet, but we're
getting ready to change thecompany that hosts our app.
And so when we do that, there'sgoing to be a lot of new and
different things that we can do,and it makes it easier for all
the viewers, viewers won't haveto do anything different to, to
update their app, so they'llnever know, but it'll be good.

(08:19):
So I'm very excited about that.
So

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (08:22):
We'll prepare for our live sale at
market

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090 (08:24):
that's, Oh yeah, that's right.
Cause we, we do, we do want todo some live sales for market.
So that'll be

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (08:29):
and I will have a beverage at that.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (08:31):
Lord, we, uh, yeah, we're going to,
uh, we're definitely going toneed it.
Um, okay.
Well, I'm glad you had a goodtime with that.
All right.
Well, so the other thing Iwanted to chat about was you
were on vacation then, last weekI was on vacation.
And then while the week that wewere recording this, Dwayne's on
vacation.
So, um, ideally after he getsback, we should all be fresh

(08:53):
eyed and bushy tailed.
Although,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (08:56):
look what season we going

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (08:57):
I know, this is crazy.
Um,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (09:01):
There might be some bushy tails, but
there ain't

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (09:02):
yeah.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (09:03):
fresh eyes.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (09:06):
When you were out on vacation,
joining that recorded one, andit was basically like, get to
know each other better.
Cause even though we've workedtogether for 20 years, there's
like a lot of stuff we didn'tknow.
And there's some fun things thatwe ended up finding out.
and he called it speed dating,which he said it was like Tinder
swipe left, swipe right.
And both of the funny thing isneither one of us have ever been
on it.
And so we have no clue what youwould do.

(09:28):
So who, you know, there's noswiping.
But yes, I thought today wouldbe interesting because, if the
average listener who listens tothis knows that Dwayne can talk
forever.
I

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (09:42):
the same story

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (09:44):
the same story!

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090 (09:45):
forever that he doesn't realize he just
told us all.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (09:49):
it's, it's so funny that, you know,
after like our first or secondepisode, um, was released by my
mother in law, she goes, and shewas like, Oh, I'm really
enjoying your podcast.
She goes, it's really fun to,you know, just to.
Just a, it's a fun break in reallife.
Right.
And she's like, wow, thatDwayne, he can talk can't he.
And it's funny when we go to, Ihave to go to edit.

(10:12):
The way that our system works isit transcribes our speech and
then I can edit from the visualtext.
And so you see these longcolumns of texts and I'm like,
well, I know who that is.
All right.
So I'm going to ask you somequestions and they're just.
I'm going to call them rapidfire, but I'm not going to like
throw him at you really superquick.

(10:33):
Um, so if there's somethingfunny or we'll just, you know,
we'll just get off on.
To talk about whatever, but Ithought they were interesting.
All right.
What is your latest guiltypleasure?
Stuart hurt.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (10:44):
Oh, good Lord.
You know, this is probably aguilty pleasure for many, many
people and has been for a long,long time, but I have never
really been a televisionfanatic.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (10:58):
hmm.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (11:03):
some shit.
And I'm like, I, now I know whypeople do this because you can
just sit there and not thinkabout a thing.
Like one.
thing.
And I'm sure I'm very, well, Iknow where many shows behind
what the normal population is,is because I never watched TV.

(11:24):
Like it wasn't something that Ialways had to have on.
Whereas a lot of people alwayshave it on and they're always
engaged in it.
To me, it was more backgroundnoise.
Like if I was home alone, I'llput it on, but I never really
paid attention to it.
Now I'm paying attention to allof it.
So I'd say that's a guiltypleasure for me.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (11:42):
You know, in our house growing up,
like we had like the maintelevision and then at some
point when they became a littlemore affordable, but let's be
honest back then they stillweren't affordable, they were
expensive.
Um, so, I mean, when I'm talkinglike when I'm in my, no, this TV
was itty bitty now I'm thinkingabout what I had in my bedroom,

(12:03):
like it

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (12:03):
The 12 inch black and white.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (12:05):
it was color.
I did have color, but I mean, itmight've been like 12, 14
inches.
It was tiny.
You know, I still had somethingI could watch.
Um, but we, I was really activewhen I was in school, like with,
as far as like band and academicteam and all that.
And so like, I didn't get hometill nine o'clock every night
anyway.
So we didn't, I didn't watch aton then.
Um, But I do, uh, the funnything is, is the guilty pleasure

(12:32):
for me is also, a little bit oftelevision, but it's either one
of two things and it's Schitt'sCreek, which is my favorite show
of all time.
And I've watched it beginningjust to end four billion times.
Um, and I mean, Golden Girlsgoes without saying, but my, my
other like silent little guiltypleasure is I love me a Hallmark
movie.

(12:53):
It's just like mindless fodder,and I can just watch it and I
know what's gonna happen, andit's fun, and nobody's shot, and
nobody's stabbed.
And, well, so maybe I shouldChristmas movies or the seasonal
movies, not the murdermysteries, because people do die
there, but it's not like violentthat you see most of the time.
Um, but it's just, it's again,it's a chance for my brain to
stop.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:13):
is.
And that's like the only time itstops.
I'm like, uh.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:17):
And

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:17):
But then sometimes you get one of
those shows, it gets you in yourfeels, and I'm like, Oh, turn it
off.
No more of those today.
Give me a murder

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:24):
Oh, Lord, you know what showed you
my husband, I used to, uh, weused to, when this is us started
many, many, many years ago, westarted watching that and, oh
Lord, we got sucked in and theneventually, you know, deeper and
heavier it got.
And you know, then we startedhaving to be like, okay, we've
got to be in the right mindsetto watch this.
Like, you've just got to like,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (13:44):
Like, I just, I just started that this

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:46):
oh God, well we stopped.
We

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:47):
I mean, we're, well, we didn't, we
got to like season six orsomething after the, right after
the fire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I had to quit.
So we haven't finished it

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (13:58):
I don't, I don't know what season
we got to, but it was just, ithad gotten so, so much.
And I was like, I, I don't wantto cry every Wednesday or
whatever night it came on.
I just couldn't do it.
I just, I, you know, I hadenough stress going on, but
it's, it was a wonderful show.
When you were in school, whatwas, so it could be middle
school, high school, whichever,uh, college, what was your best.

(14:20):
Or what was your favoritesubject?
We're going to say best.
Cause I think a lot of timeswe're really good at things.
It's not our favorite.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (14:24):
You know, I don't know.
I don't want to be that personand be like, Oh, I loved art.
Cause everybody loved art.
But as far as like, um, I thinkprobably history, um, and that's
the one I consistently got.
A's and B's in, whereas some ofthe other subjects I didn't do
so well, but that's the one Iconsistently got good grades.

(14:48):
So I would say that one.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (14:51):
you know, I don't know if I can pick
one.
Um, cause I really just reallydidn't care.
I mean, I was one of thosestudents who was really good in
school.
I got the A's everywhere.
Um, I didn't have to study.
I just, I'm an incredible testtaker.
Um, I can deduce and figure itout without having to know much
of it.
And, um, And so I graduated andI don't remember a whole lot.

(15:13):
I don't know a whole lot.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (15:15):
Well, it's funny because there's,
there's always this one, and Istill have a dream about it to
this day.
I was in college and I think itwas junior year.
I had to take some crosscultural requirement class, you
know, to, to fill the, whatever,to fill the hours.
And it was called Modern Peopleof the Tribal World.

(15:36):
I don't recall going to thatclass ever, but I got an A in
it.
And, and to the life, I can'teven tell you where it was on
campus, but my report says I gotan A.
And I have no, I can't tell youone thing about that class.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (15:54):
I think we all have some of those
classes.
Like I still dream to this daythat like, there's classes I
didn't finish.
And they're gonna be like, Oh,Hey, you didn't finish your
degree.
You didn't go, you didn't finishthis class.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (16:05):
and I think that's why it randomly
pops into a dream with me if I'mstressed out or something I'm
like, I never graduated college,but I did

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (16:13):
well for me, it's not like in high
school, that's what, so highschool is a really hard answer.
Cause I'm just like, I enjoyedkind of basically everything.
I don't like to read.
Um, that just wasn't somethingthat was built into me.
I'm so much more visual.
Um, if there's something for meto learn, I'd rather much learn
it through a video, through a,uh, pictures than trying to read
it and figure it out.
I'm not, I don't do well thatway.

(16:34):
Um, Um, so I think that kind ofhelps me with what we do.
Although a lot of the stuff thatI ended up, so like, if I, if
I'm trying to figure outsomething, the first thing I do
is I go to YouTube and I try tofigure it out that way because
I'm like, Oh, if I can see itand hear it and, and look at it,
then I'm like, Oh, I got this.
This is easy.
Um, but in college there was asemester.
So my degree was in appareldesign, visual merchandising.

(16:56):
Um, but not so much appareldesign, but more visual
merchandising and graphics andpublications and graphic design.
So.
You know, you have your gen edcourses.
You have to take, well, I endedup one semester having
historical costume, which soundslike you're studying like, you
know, costumes in a play, butit's really the clothes that
people wore, why they wore them,how it changed all those kinds

(17:18):
of things.
Okay.
The same semester I had, I don'tknow, I can't remember if it was
European history, if it wasAmerican history, I may have had
both of them.
And then at the same time, Ialso had, um, the history of
French civilization.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (17:32):
Lord you were stuck in the 1800s

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090 (17:33):
Listen, no, the fascinating thing was
that every class that I hadstarted at the basically about
this, this, well, the French onestarted earlier than this, but,
um, it caught up to the rest ofthem.
And almost after like maybe thefirst week and a half, two
weeks, every class after, orevery like week or month after
that, um, we were on the sametime period.

(17:55):
And it was so fascinating to beable to see how events in the
world affected different things.
Around the world.
And so, and what it did for mewas it really tied this picture.
It took the, it took the pictureof just like, you know, if you
took like us history, you just,you see it in like these really
small little details.
You know, the U S we're not thatold.

(18:17):
I mean, we're just not rightcompared to other countries,
other civilizations around.
And so when you study it, you'relike, well, okay, there's been a
lot that's happened.
But not that much that'shappened.
I mean, you know, so then youlook at these other places
around the world and then yousee how this war in this place
then affected the people goingto this area and then how that

(18:39):
changed that community and thatcivilization and then how that
affected language and then howthat affected what they wore and
then this other great You know,um, disease epidemic happened.
And then when that happened, allthis, I mean, it's a, you see,
so you see it in a much granderpicture.
And I loved that because I waslike, Oh, this actually tells
the full story.

(19:00):
Um, this isn't just like a smalllittle, like you're focusing on
the area.
And for me, that was my,probably my favorite semester I
ever had in school was becauseliterally every class I could
connect all the dots.
Through like through that week,like I could be like, Oh, this
is how this all happened.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (19:16):
Yeah, that's cool.
That sounds good.
And kind of like you I don'tlike to read either I'll preface
that with I like to read ifthere's content so Uh,
basically, you know fantasynovels romance novels all that
kind of shit.
I don't like to read all thatshit

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_0904 (19:35):
You're not reading that smut.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (19:37):
I will watch my smut, but I'm not
gonna read it.
I will read to learn something.
So, yeah,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (19:45):
Yeah.
I, you know, like I think thelast book, this is the setting
that the last book I read was anautobiography of, um, Chelsea
Handler.
Wait, it was maybe not.
It was one of Chelsea Handlerbooks, which was hysterical.
The one before that was a KathyGriffin book, which was
hysterical because it's allwritten from their tone of
voice.
right.
The one that I read, I tried toread before that was, uh, was it

(20:07):
Barbara I don't know.
It was, it was just so like,Ooh, I couldn't do it.
Um, and then like before thatwas the Da Vinci code that tells
you I haven't, I'm just not, uh,you know, yeah.
All right.
If you could have a superpower,what would you, and you could
choose it, what would it be?

(20:28):
I know immediately.
I would either.
So I had a dream when I was akid and you remember Bobby's
world.
It might have been after youwere a kid, but, uh, Bobby's
world was, uh, Howie Mandel.
He played this little characternamed Bobby and it was his
family and he had like a littletricycle and he could jump on
his little tricycle and thattricycle could fly.
Now, I don't know if this wasjust in like the, the, the
opening scenes or if this wasreally part of the show, but in

(20:50):
my mind, it was part of theshow.
Now, as I look back and I wouldeither, without a doubt, I would
fly because I just, I would loveto go wherever I'd love to see,
I just would love to fly.
Or I would love to be able toswim, like be underwater.
And I think both of that is justbeing able to move in a way
where you're free.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_0904 (21:10):
Right.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (21:10):
Yeah.
Without a doubt.
That would be it.
I

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (21:14):
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, I, we might have torevisit that.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (21:17):
mean, none of these are, you know,
earth shattering important.
Um, what was the last concertyou went to?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:23):
Uh.
Well, there were two right nextto each other, and I'm trying to
think of which one was It wasCarrie Underwood,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:33):
Oh, when was that?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:35):
uh, about this time last

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:37):
Oh, well I thought about this and I
thought, where did I go?
And I was like, much like you,there's three.
And I'm like, I can't rememberwhat order they went in.
But then I thought about, I'mlike, God, they were the gayest
contact.
I went to Elton John, CelineDion and, Cher.
And,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (21:54):
Right there.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:55):
you know,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:56):
All queens of

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (21:57):
I, we had seen, we've seen Cher.
Oh my God.
If you people listening, if youhave not seen Cher, even if
you're not a huge Cher fan,you've got to go see the show
because it is the mostridiculous thing you've ever
seen.
We have been fortunate enough tobe able to see her probably four
or five times.
and the shows are very similar.
It doesn't change too much, butshe does put on a good show.
But my favorite part is the songthat she sings with, uh, is it

(22:21):
Peter Sater?
I don't remember after all, Idon't remember who she sings it
with, but it used to be, therewould be like a little boat.
That would bring her out ontothe stage.
She'd get off the boat, walkaround, sing, and then get back
on the boat and get off.
This last tour, she said, bitch,I'm staying on the boat.
The boat came in on stage left,slowly crept across the stage
the entire way.
She never got off.
And then she got up on stage,right?

(22:43):
And changed

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (22:43):
Like, I ain't

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (22:44):
I love that.
The other great share story Ihave is when we were, so this is
probably 20 years ago.
This is when she had her firstfarewell tour.
She wasn't going to anymore.
And she came to Lexington.
We didn't get tickets.
My husband, he was a boy, myboyfriend at the time he went
with his cousin.
Um, but I didn't get to go and Iwas so devastated so I got his

(23:04):
tickets to go see her in Daytonbecause I thought this is it.
I'm not gonna get to see it.
And I didn't get to see TinaTurner and I, and I regret that.
So that's my biggest regret isnot going to see Tina Turner.
Um, and I was like, I'm notmissing Cher.
So, we go to Dayton and itstarts.
And in that concert, she camedown from the ceiling on a
mirror ball.

(23:25):
Um, and I don't remember whatsong she came down, uh, to, oh,
it's that one that she did the,the cover, that U2 song, she
comes down and she starts earlyand she also has a cold.
Right, so she's coming down, theball starts, and then she's
like, I have a Oh, shit! And itwas as it was as clear as day!

(23:47):
And I and then she paused, andthen she came back when it was
supposed to come back in.
And that was one of my favorite,my share

stuart_1_10-10-2024_0904 (23:53):
that's hilarious.
That's hilarious.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (23:56):
Um, do you have a go to karaoke
song?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:01):
Live like you were dying.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:03):
Is that the Tim McGraw song?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (24:04):
Yeah.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:06):
Way to bring it down.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (24:08):
Well, cause I can adjust my voice to
that

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (24:10):
Okay.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:10):
It's pretty easily, so.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:12):
You know, we have friends who love
karaoke, and I love to gokaraoke.
Mm hmm.
I do not need to be amplified.
Mm mm.
Mm mm.
Mm mm.
Um, what is the most valuablething that you've learned in
your job?
And you can read into thathowever you wish.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:32):
Um, well, because, you know, a lot
of people think this child issmoking mirrors.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:38):
Mm mm.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:39):
And, um, to an extent, some of it is
because you're, you know, youare making a space present
itself.
But I think the biggest thing islearning that I've learned is
how to deal with all thepersonalities you

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (24:56):
mm.
Mm mm.
Mm

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:00):
they run the gamut

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:01):
Mm mm.
Mm mm.
Mm

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:05):
meek to the most bitches all the way
through.
And it's, you know, and youlearn that sometimes you learn
the hard way.
Um, but what I have learned iskind of how to read it.
Before you get too far in to seeif you're fit to work for that

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:29):
Mm hmm.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (25:30):
going to jive together,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:31):
Mm hmm.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:32):
cut it off at the pass

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:33):
hmm.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:34):
or go full force.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (25:37):
I agree.
I think that, um, similarly, themost valuable thing that I've
learned is you've got to beauthentic, um, be honest, be who
you are, and then part of that,I think, then goes further and
it's being in tune withyourself.
So as long as you're, if you'renot putting on something, if
you're being in the moment,you're listening, you're being
honest.
If there's the red flags thatare there.

(25:59):
You see them, but you've got tolisten.
You have to listen to those,those red flags.
And the thing is, is, you know,originally like any, when
anybody starts out in any job,you don't want to tell anybody,
no, you don't want to, you don'twant to ruffle any feathers,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (26:12):
Cause you want to get that under your
belt,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (26:15):
Um, but being able to have that
sense of, uh, yes, no.
Oh, this is going to become aproblem.
Um, just that, that gut sensethat is that without a doubt,
that's the number one, like themost valuable thing.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_0904 (26:30):
Right.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (26:33):
Uh, Sir, what is your favorite curse
word?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (26:42):
I say that a lot.
Uh, you know, I'm not going towin the parenting award for
saying this one, but my, mylittle, my little sponge that
sits in the back seat is allowedto only say that in the back
seat of the car.
Because I know I say it often,and I can't give her a reason

(27:06):
why she shouldn't, especially ifit's used correctly, so.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (27:12):
have some friends who their little
daughter, when she started, uh,preschool, um, being ran by this
church, she, uh, She knew all ofthem and she knew how to use
them all.
And everybody at the daycare waslike, Oh my God.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (27:29):
Well, and thankfully, knock on wood,
Allie, you know, because herschool is at the Episcopal
Church as well, and, you know,I'm like, oh, thankfully they're
real liberal, but.
Lord, just don't start thatpotty mouth.
There is a short, funny storyabout that.
We were, we were building alittle like craft house in our,

(27:49):
you know, like the most kits youput together and we were
building it.
She couldn't get to go together.
Right.
That's how you just got tobreathe and think about it.
We'll, we'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.
It's okay.
She's like, I am so.
Man, I started stomping throughthe kitchen.
I said, where are you going?
She goes, I'm going to thedriveway to get in the car.
And she's going to go say shitin the car because she knew

(28:11):
that's where she could say it.
So,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (28:16):
I don't think there's any doubt
that what my favorite word is.
And that's fuck.
Uh, unfortunately I use it a lotand it's not even like, it's
just sometimes it's the onlyword that will work for many
different occasions.
Um, and you can use it in somany different ways.
And I know that word, makes manypeople blush.

(28:38):
I don't understand it, Um, butyou know, my favorite story
about this is we had, um, we,there were some cute socks that
we got for the store just yearsago.
And some of the, they had likefunny little sayings on them.
And, uh, like one of them saidring master of the shit show.
Uh, one of them said, uh, if youcan read on the bottom of if you

(29:01):
can read this, bring me wine,like, you know, things like
that.
Well, my favorite, my favoritepair were a pair that said, fuck
this shit.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_0904 (29:09):
Right, it had the guy with the little
hatchet.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (29:12):
had, and he was had a little hatchet
and he was cutting firewood.
And I remember when we saw it,we were like, oh, this is like,
this is a little cra.
Well, I wasn't like that.
Dwayne was really concerned.
He was like, I don't think ourcustomers are gonna appreciate
this.
I'm like, I just give it a try.
Like I think, I think these arehysterical.
Like I think we know, we knowsix people.
I think it's what you get.

(29:32):
I was like, we know six peoplethat would buy this for a gift
for somebody just outta humor.
Right?
And they were like dress socks,but they, all of the stuff was
high enough on the sock that youcould wear'em my dress pants and
nobody could see them.
I won't say dress socks, butthey were, you know, they were
like that,

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (29:46):
Well, that's also when we sold fashion
in the store.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (29:48):
we also have fashions those other
stuff.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (29:49):
throw it on in there as one thing.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (29:51):
so we got them in and of course,
you know, we're processing whenwe're putting out And of course
the girls in the store, they'relaughing and they're loving it,
you know, whatever, but they'realso like, oh, I don't know
Well, listen listeners we putthis out these my favorite ones
did not last any time becausethese little little older Women
came in and they just startedwiping us out.

(30:14):
They bought them all.
They were giving them to theirbunco groups.
They were giving them to theirbest girlfriends.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (30:19):
The

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (30:20):
They were, they're great.
And I'm like, okay, well I'mglad people have a sense of
humor.
So, you know, we always thinkthat it can turn a lot of people
off.
I realize children, it's kind ofharsh, but you know, whatever.
All right.
Um, what item do you hope isobsolete in 20 years?

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (30:38):
Uh, what item is obsolete?

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (30:42):
Or do you want to be?
I want to be, I like just,you're just over

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090 (30:45):
Parking meters.
You should not have to pay forparking downtown.
You want people to go downtownand revitalize downtown.
Don't make them pay six dollarsto go down to a restaurant.
No more parking meters.
Take them down.
There you

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:05):
I'm okay with that.
By the time I get, by the time Iget downtown, it's, you don't
have to pay.
So I don't know.
But I, I agree with you.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:11):
But you do now in all those

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:13):
I don't know, not on all of them.
So there's some places I know,but it's, it is, it's
aggravating.
Um, uh, and I know this is goingto scare people keys.
I need to, I need to carry oneless thing.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (31:30):
Yeah, keys.
Yeah, I can see

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:32):
I scan my eyes, scan my
fingerprint.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:35):
Oh,

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (31:36):

I'm fine with it.
I, you know, I'm not going tosay implant me with something.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (31:41):
mean, but there are locks you can open
with your phone.

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_09041 (31:45):
yeah, but there's, but there's
concerns about the security ofsome, but I think in 20 years we
can do away with so much of thisstuff.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_0904 (31:55):
Right, but I would rather open it with
my phone and have somebody stealmy phone and cut my eyeball out
to get in

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_0904 (32:00):
That's what I'm saying.
No.

stuart_1_10-10-2024_09041 (32:03):
Steal my phone and then rob me.
Don't make me blind and then rob

jeremy_1_10-10-2024_090413 (32:06):

Apple store and then you justsay, hi, I'm here.

their name and knows what yourproblem is.
