Stewart.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (02:23):
Yeah, the only thing that came up for
me is watching this damn storewhile y'all were gallivanting
around the world.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (02:32):
Ooh, what, what you people don't know
is we were pulled into themeeting with Stewart, uh,
chastising us and saying

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (02:38):
saying

squadcaster-57bc_1_06 (02:39):
everybody can't ever be gone again.
Stewart said Jeremy was gone andDwayne was gone, and Joe was
gone, and Toy was gone, and Kimwas gone, and I had to do it
all.
I had to make two bows and fourflower arrangements.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (02:54):
and answer every question that you
guys could help field on a dailybasis.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (03:00):
Yeah, I, I, I have

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (03:02):
It takes.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (03:02):
of you are gone, and it is
incredibly difficult.
It it, it is.
I mean, I'm thankful.
I mean, again, we're

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (03:08):

one of you.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (03:11):

Very thankful.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (03:17):
I just, I just drank more at
night.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (03:22):
where did you go, Dwayne?

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (03:24):
We went back to our favorite place
in the world and took the kidsand the boyfriend, uh, we went
to Siesta Key,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (03:30):
You,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (03:30):
um,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (03:31):

boyfriends, not your boyfriend,right?

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (03:36):
well,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (03:37):

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (03:37):
I've got some news for you.
No, but yeah, I took one of thechildren's boyfriend,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (03:43):
Uh, okay.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (03:43):
you.
Whoever thought,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (03:45):
I

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (03:45):
thought that,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (03:46):
I was just adding a comma in your
sentence.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (03:49):
happy pride month y'all.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (03:50):
Yeah.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (03:52):
I don't know.
Whatever you wanna say.
I don't, I don't,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (03:55):
I don't,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (03:55):
I I actually, I'm gonna pivot just
very quickly from that.
I was with the illustriousDeborah Zel yesterday.
Right.
And they've sold their townhouseand they've got a little place
they're moving to, so I'm gonnahelp her.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (04:06):
her.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (04:06):
Kind of.
So, but it's been traumatictruthfully because, you know,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (04:09):
know,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (04:09):
you know, when you, you change your
life and all this kind.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (04:11):
those kind of things.
So we're working through somethings, we're talking

squadcaster-57bc_1_06- (04:15):
There's, uh, somebody on a YouTube or
something, uh, or podcast, Idunno where it's truthfully, but
it's on the interwebs but her

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (04:21):
but her

squadcaster-57bc_1_ (04:21):
catchphrase is,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (04:22):
is,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (04:23):
I don't care.
Right?
And so Deborah, she said, I'mkind of there.
She said, I don't care.
And I was like, you know what?
We all in not a

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (04:33):
a

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (04:34):
way.
Need to be, be, I don't care.
So what I'm telling you about isI don't care what you think
about me.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (04:41):
me,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (04:41):
Right.
You know, if you're in my world,in my orbit, you know, I'm
pretty good and you'll like me,but if you don't, I don't care.
Right.
And that, that's, that's a goodplace to be in my world.
I don't know if everybody elsesees it that way, but

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (04:56):
but

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (04:57):
we're all comparing ourselves to each
other and we're always worriedabout what everybody else does.
And I.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (05:02):
I've actually dropped off,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (05:04):
Just for my mental health, off doing
any postings of me personally oranything because I felt like it
was taking the energy away from

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (05:12):
from

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (05:13):
the, the beautiful positive things I
do.
'cause I love what I do, but Ifelt obligated to have to post
things and tell my story.
And it started evolving into, itbecame a job and maybe it should
be, but it was draining me.
And I've just had, I've justtaken off the last six months
and I actually

jeremy-guest246_1_06-1 (05:29):
actually

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (05:30):
now had a little bit more peace and
I.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (05:32):
and I'm like,

squadcaster-57bc_1_0 (05:33):
Basically, I don't care.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (05:36):
You know, that is so, uh, not
anything probably what we'regonna talk about today.
However, I.
On my way in, you know,'cause Ilisten to NPRA lot.
I heard this quote that kind ofgoes along with what you're
saying and it says, it washolding a grudge is like
drinking poison, but expectingthe other person to die.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (06:01):
Oh yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (06:02):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (06:03):
yeah,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (06:03):
So,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (06:04):
yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (06:05):
so I don't care.
Just let it go

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (06:07):
it go.
Let it go.
Yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (06:10):
and.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (06:10):
and I have to say, um.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (06:13):
All of us are getting older.
Right.
Uh, and I know that, um,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (06:17):
um,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (06:18):
I'm, I'm, I'm as crazy as I ever was.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (06:20):
Mm

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (06:21):
Uh, I don't know if I've, I've
gotten much wiser, truthfully,um,'cause I still feel like I
spout off and I still think I gointo meetings and say things
that,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (06:30):
that,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (06:30):
um, the red pen has to come out and
I get, uh, uh, dirty looks from,uh.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (06:35):
but

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (06:36):
I think of the three of us, I look
at it, the person that has themost growth, truthfully, in a
beautiful way,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (06:41):
way.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (06:41):
is actually you, Stewart.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (06:44):
in a

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (06:45):
much better, much more relaxed place
in your life.
And I truly, and that this isnot a negative.
My, there's a joy there.

We haven't been there for avery, very long time and it's
going to be expensive to eat inthis park'cause it's a special
place.
We're gonna, we're gonna donwith the beast

night.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (07:48):
Yeah, well there you go.
Uh, but then somewhere at 11o'clock they made reservations
for lunch and I was like, oh,you just don't get a hamburger
or a pretzel.
Since we're gonna eat

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (07:58):
to eat

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (07:59):
big, fancy dinner, Lord knows what
it's gonna cost me.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (08:01):
me.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (08:01):
The long story is that lunch was
$300.
Okay, the dinner was$700.
I spent$1,000 on food at DisneyWorld.
Now look, I ain't cheap,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (08:19):
you,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (08:20):
but I was like,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (08:21):
like,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (08:21):
are you kidding me?

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (08:23):
me?

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (08:23):
Anyway, I just, you know, I just

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (08:25):
just

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (08:25):
gave him a credit card and moved on.
But if you ain't made out agoal, you better not walk in
that place.
I can tell you that.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (08:30):
you that

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (08:33):
I think maybe that I, anyway, we
had a good time.
We made memories.
Yes, we did.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (08:38):
I bet

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (08:38):
Yes.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (08:42):
uh, went with my husband's family,
went to the outer banks.
It was the first time we'd everbeen there.
And, um, you know, we, had areally good time.
I.
Uh, it's always good to get awayand just spend time with them
and, and, and things like thatwell, I mean with, with my
in-laws and my niece and mysister-in-laws and all that, you
know, we, we had a good time.
It's, it's a lot more aboutbeing together.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (09:05):
Um,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (09:06):
but

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (09:07):
part of that

jeremy-guest246_1_06-1 (09:08):
vacation or part of that trip, I don't
even wanna call it vacation, butI guess it was, you know, it was
fun.
Um,'cause for, listen for me, ifI go lay on the beach for a
week, that's a vacation.
This was not that, but, youknow, um.
But, so one of the things thatwe experienced is what actually
kind of brought on today'sepisode from what D Dwayne had
emailed a while ago.

(09:28):
But the other thing I, it, I.
Alyssa, it's a, it's a

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (09:34):
A.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (09:35):
little place now.
I much like how areas likePigeon Forge and, um, you know,
a lot of places that once theystart to become popular, they
become very commercialized.
There were definitely aspects ofthis area that had had that, but
where we stayed, it was not, um.

(09:55):
So I, I appreciated that it wasmore out kind of, I don't know.
It was, it was out.
I guess we'll say it that way.
Um, but one of the things thatwe did while we were there guys,
was we went to the WrightBrothers Monument.
Because this is where the BrightBrothers had their,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (10:07):
Huh?

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (10:07):
first flight.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (10:08):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (10:08):
And, uh, it was my in-laws that were
really the ones that wanted togo there and we were gonna go do
other things.
And um, so we were just gonnastop there first.
And it was a fascinatingThere's, there's not a ton
there, but it's so interesting.
So this is what I, what

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (10:23):
I.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (10:23):
to, to tell you about'cause it's,
it's, it's a fascinating littlething.
'cause I thought they had areally fun little story.
So the first.
Like a successful flight thatthey had.
They had four on

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (10:32):
One day

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (10:33):
uh, which is what we considered
kinda like the record.
And that's what this monument'sfor here.
they have the spot where the,the plane took off from the
first spot and it took off fromthe same, spot it off for the
first four flights.
And there's so many fun littledetails of this, and I'm not
gonna bore you with all of them,but, um, they have a, a, a, a
big.
or a big rock at each of these.

(10:54):
And I mean, when I say big, it'slike six feet tall.
Um, at each of these placeswhere all of'em took off.
And then where the first one,second one, third one, and then
where the fourth one landed?
The fourth one landed.
I can't remember.
It was the furthest away and itwas almost up for two minutes.
Okay.
Fascinating.
Right, but here's the really,like, this is the parts that I
really thought was reallyfascinating.
The reason why they did it onthe day that they did it they

(11:15):
were under pressure and they'dpromised their dad they'd be
home for Christmas.
So they had to do it.
They

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (11:20):
Do it on that day because they were
down there.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (11:22):
and they had to get back to

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (11:23):
Ohio

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (11:23):
to go see him.
thought that was fascinating.
The main supporter and thebiggest pusher they had was
their sister.
I.
She

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (11:31):
always the

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (11:32):
that kept pushing them and telling
them to go.
And I,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (11:33):
one's

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (11:34):
gets any of the, the credit now.
I thought that was

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (11:36):
the.

jeremy-guest246_1_ (11:38):
fascinating.
But, um, the, the coolest thingI thought was, and something I
never thought about, aboutsomething like this, it's like
in history was

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (11:47):
But two brother.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (11:48):
the, the morning that they were doing
it, they did a coin toss'causeit was only a single person.
Manned thing, right?
So they did a coin toss, the guylost, so then the other brother
went.
Then when he would try to do thefirst one, it totally didn't,
nothing happened.
So then the other guy got thefirst chance, right?
So the other brother, so brothernumber two, don't remember which
one, he was actually successful.
And then every time they did it,they, they did more Well in the

stuart-host861_1_06-1 (12:09):
Monument.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (12:09):
This is the only federal

stuart-host861_1_06-12 (12:10):
Monument

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (12:11):
that exists that was

stuart-host861_1_06- (12:12):
dedicated.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (12:13):
with the person still being alive.
So they were actually able to bethere.
Now, well one of the brothers,'cause one of'em had already
died.
But the brother that was therewhen the monument was done,
there's pictures of like all thepeople that were there, and
Amelia Earhart was there becausethis was shortly after she had
done her transatlantic flight.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (12:32):
So one of the brothers died

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (12:34):
not

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (12:34):
too long.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (12:35):
it happened.
But the

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (12:35):
The other brother

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (12:36):
uh, Orville, he

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (12:38):
was

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (12:39):
to live.
He died in 48, I think it was.
Um, so the first flights were in1903 in his lifetime.
This is the cool part I thoughthe got to see

stuart-host861_1_06 (12:47):
commercial.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-1 (12:48):
airline.
came out After that, he was ableto see Lindbergh do his solo
trans-Atlantic flight.
Amelia Earhart do her, solotransatlantic flight, the first
jet engine in the plane.
He got to see all the planes andhow if it was effective and, and
what it did in World War ii.
also got to see the person breakthe sound barrier the year
before he died.
I thought,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (13:08):
Huh.
That's interesting,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (13:10):
for something that you worked on?
And they worked hard on this,but to see how it changed the
world.
And

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (13:16):
right?

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (13:16):
said, I thought that was so cool.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (13:18):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (13:18):
So not to nerd out this morning,
but um, if you get down there,just stop by and

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (13:22):
It,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (13:23):
the, uh, the docents

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (13:25):
the,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (13:25):
that they give the little tours or
the talks.
They are, they are the biggestaviation nerd you'll ever meet,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (13:30):
but they have so many details and so

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (13:32):
many

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (13:32):
many stories and

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (13:34):
You know,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (13:34):
it,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (13:35):
it's

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (13:35):
just one of those

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (13:36):
we take, we take flying for granted
so easily now.
Oh, the other cool

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (13:39):
thing was in the

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (13:40):
uh, in the

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (13:41):
first,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (13:41):
manned Well, the, what's going.
I

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (13:43):
she.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (13:43):
know.
But

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (13:46):
That's, that's okay.
You can take time when we talkabout my vacation.
'cause there wasn't one.
Go ahead.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (13:54):
Um, okay, so the fir they had their
first flight,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (13:57):
Uh,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (13:57):
in that, in that thing.
And they have a reproduction inthe, the place that's there.
And then, and, um, so when theyhad the first manned lunar
landing, they had pieces of thefabric and a piece of wood from
the original plane that flew onthat flight to the, to the moon.
And

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (14:13):
wow.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (14:13):
And I

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (14:13):
Okay.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (14:13):
think that, I mean,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (14:14):
It's just that it's huge,

jeremy-guest246_1_06- (14:15):
symbolic,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (14:16):
but

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (14:16):
I'm

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (14:17):
it always has.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (14:17):
you have to look back, like you
can't forget where you came fromand, and, and, and

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (14:22):
You never know what one small little
thing,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (14:24):
even though it wasn't a small thing,
then, uh, one thing will, youknow, affect later on.
So, but very cool.
Very, uh, so I highly suggest,yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (14:33):
but the.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (14:34):
thing that, and then this has to do
with today's podcast is that itreinforced my love.
Of cedar shake, shingles, homes,and roofs.
And, there were a lot of thesebeautiful houses.
And we did this wild horse tour.
And as we're driving down thesandy dunes and I've got the
sand on one hand, one side withbig dunes and grass, and I've

(14:56):
got the beautiful, uh, blue,gray ocean on the right and I've
got, it's a gray hazy day.
was like, my total zen moment,like my sister-in-law looked at
me and she's like, are you okay?
I'm like, oh yeah.
I'm good.
Like this is like if we're, andI could feel my shoulders like,
you know, lower down.
Um, but what it instantly mademe think of when I saw, like one
of the first houses that we cameto was, it made me think of

(15:18):
Nancy Meyers and all of herbooks that are in movies that
she's done.
Like, uh, something's gottagive.
It's complicated.
And all these homes a lot oftimes, um, are coastal or
they're, they're close to it.
And I'm, it's always a housethat I just like.
I wanna live in that house.
I don't have anybody be aroundme.
And it's just beautiful.
And I

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (15:38):
I know,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (15:38):
I am not the only one who shares
this obsession with Nancy MeyerHolmes because there's a whole
thing out there about peopletrying to figure out how to add,
add Nancy Meyer's style to theirhome.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (15:48):
right?
Right.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (15:49):
Stop there

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (15:50):
there.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (15:50):
and give a, a kind of a general
explanation for those who don'tknow what you're talking about
or who you don't know.
When you're talking about NancyMyers, who this person is to
give a background.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (16:01):
So, because I have a couple fun
factoid for her too, but she isa writer, producer, um, and

stuart-host861_1_06-12 (16:07):
director been involved with.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (16:09):
chances are, you know, some of these
movies Private, Benjamin BabyBoom, uh, father of the Bride,
which I think everybody, it'sone of my favorite movies of
all, like going back, father ofthe Bride Two, uh, the Parent
Trap, not the original, but thesecond one, uh, with, uh,
Lindsay Lohan, uh, what WomenWant.
And then here's the ones that.
Like for me really are when Ilike chimed in with her,

(16:30):
something's gotta give.

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (16:32):
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (16:36):
um, oh, whatever the name are.
I can't come right now.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (16:39):
Kate wins one of them.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (16:41):
and, uh, yeah.
And

stuart-host861_1_0 (16:43):
Complicated.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (16:44):
with Diane Keaton

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (16:46):
Mm-hmm.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (16:46):
wait,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (16:47):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (16:47):
that's, uh, that's Meryl

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (16:49):
Meryl St.
Street.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (16:49):
Alec Baldwin.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (16:50):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (16:52):
and then she also did the intern.
So a lot of high profile moviesthat you know, but she had a
reputation of making sure thatshe

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (17:00):
Wanted.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (17:01):
the sets or the, where it was if the
house was as big of a characteras the story that she wanted it
to be as big as the story.
So like, specifically like with,um, the holiday, it's
complicated and something'sgotta give those three houses.
Or four houses, really.
Right.
Um, they were huge characters inthose

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (17:22):
Right.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (17:23):
there's something about them that just
people just wanna stay, just tostay in them all the time.
Now, two interesting littlefactoids about her.
She surpassed Penny Marshall asthe highest grossing female
director.
I.
So that's impressive.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (17:35):
Wow.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (17:35):
didn't

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (17:35):
been around

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (17:36):
know.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (17:37):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (17:37):
and then she had two daughters and
when she did the parent trap,uh, with Lindsey Han, she
changed the character's names toAnnie and Halle, which are her,
her two daughter's names.
I thought that was kind of fun.
Wow.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (17:47):
Yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (17:48):
But

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (17:48):
in, uh, preparing

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (17:50):
for today when

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (17:52):
I was

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (17:53):
I was like, it's a style that's

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (17:54):
kind of hard.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (17:55):
to pin down because it's got a lot
of contradictions in it, in it.
Um, but I, somebody had writtena blog post and I read it and I
thought it was so funny.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (18:04):
Good.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (18:04):
She said,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (18:05):
Um, it's like,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (18:07):
us

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (18:07):
look, I'm rich, but humble and yes, I
hired a decorator, but I wantpeople to think

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (18:11):
did it myself.
And then the other was

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (18:15):
I mean, that's perfect though.

jeremy-guest246_1_0 (18:18):
Absolutely.
and I thought that was so like,kind of spot on.
'cause it's, it, it is moreabout admitting a feeling than
it is about a specific style.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (18:28):
But there's elements that,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (18:29):
then create that

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (18:30):
right,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (18:31):
right, because,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (18:34):
Well,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (18:34):
well.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (18:35):
and like you were saying, with those
movies and stuff, especiallyDiane Keaton movies, I'm always
like, Ooh, I wanna see whatkitchen she's in

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (18:40):
Right.
The

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (18:40):
because I love every kitchen of every
movie she's in.
And they all relate back to thisparticular lady, Nancy Meyers.
You know?
And like you said,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (18:49):
like you said,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (18:51):
style is, um, the style is its own.
I think because there are.

jeremy-guest246_1_0 (18:58):
traditional

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (18:59):
of furniture with a coastal
undertone and maybe a landscapepiece of art, maybe,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (19:07):
Yeah.
It's,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (19:08):
you know?
Yeah.
Very collective, but very clean.
Never cluttered, but

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (19:14):
I see the opposite.
Isn't that funny?
I see it as layered and, uh.

stuart-host861_1_06-12 (19:19):
layered, but it's simple layers.
Well, it's not

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (19:22):
17 curio cabinets full of stuff,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (19:25):
right?

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (19:25):
see it's like, it's a collected,
like it's

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (19:28):
See it, you say that, I see it as
more

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (19:30):
Yeah.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (19:31):
houses are more full than not, and it's
more curated than not.
Uh, so when you say that, I waslike, no, I saw the opposite way
that it, it doesn't meancluttered, but it's definitely
lush.
There's a, there's layers to it.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (19:47):
you can also just walk in and sit
down.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (19:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
No, no.
The opposite.

stuart-host861_1_0 (19:51):
comfortable.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (19:52):
it's, I think the layers, I think the
layers is what makes you wannasit down,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (19:56):
down.

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (19:56):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (19:57):
right?
If you have a house that's alittle too

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:00):
Too

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (20:01):
edited or too perfect and doesn't have
a little quirkiness to it,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:06):
it,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (20:07):
it doesn't have a soul to it.
Once it's all said and done.
And it always goes back to, um,working with the clients and,
um.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:15):
um,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (20:18):
You know, those who've listened to
our podcast, this is just abroken record that I, I'll fight
back every time.
It's like,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (20:23):
like,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (20:23):
I don't want to finish your house.
And it goes back to, maybe itis, Nancy Myers has a

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (20:27):
a,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (20:28):
more of a, an impact on me than not.
And it's like, I want you to endup finishing the house.
'cause I don't want it to feellike some decorator came and did
it.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:34):
did it.
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_0 (20:35):
Truthfully

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (20:36):
that

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (20:36):
that I wanted to,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:37):
to,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (20:37):
you put your final touches on it,
your final stamps on it,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (20:40):
it,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (20:40):
and I'm gonna leave a blank wall and
I'm gonna have you find your

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (20:43):
your

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (20:44):
piece of art or whatever it is so that
you finish it up.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (20:47):
it up.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (20:47):
And I feel like that's how her
houses are, that it feels like,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (20:49):
like,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (20:50):
uh, all of them are very evolved and
all these things are found whenJeremy.
Proposed this idea.
I, I didn't say much to him.
I just said, oh, I do like thatidea.
And I just

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (21:01):
just

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (21:02):
of left it alone.
'cause we were busy.
But Jeremy, you don't understandhow much you've honed in on how
much I really, really love heraesthetic.
Especially, uh, something'sgotta give when I think that's
the, the house that most peoplewould equate to

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (21:15):
Yeah.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (21:15):
and the absolute home run anyway.
So I'm not, not, it's not a farstretch for me to

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (21:20):
to

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (21:20):
love like many other people do.
But what.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (21:23):
the house.
about to

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (21:26):
Is if I'm not told what to do and I
get to do anything I want, Igenerally love a.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (21:32):
a very

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (21:33):
Soft palette and I feel like that
house is soft.
It's

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (21:37):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (21:38):
creamy and warm and textural.
And I'm okay with just all whitetrim work and warm walls.
And

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (21:47):
and

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (21:47):
I don't even know if this house
has any blue in it or not, butit has that, I mean, it, it does
have blue.
I don't know about blue walls'cause

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (21:53):
because

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (21:54):
do

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (21:54):
do it for

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (21:55):
for different,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (21:55):
but

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (21:56):
you know.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (21:56):
you know, there's blue,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (21:57):
Blue furniture in there and that

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (21:58):
that

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (21:58):
whole powdery blue, uh, fog blue kind
of color.
And I am always searching forthat.
And like there's a new color andI'm gonna butcher this Jeremy,
so you help me'cause I think youspeak Spanish and read Spanish a
little bit, right?
It's um, bla azo like fog blueis what it means.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (22:20):
Huh ne.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, I can't do it.
My twain, so.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, that, that wasjust coming out.
I didn't mean to put any accenton if I did, as I say, when I
learned Spanish, I sound like aredneck trying to speak Spanish.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (22:32):
Well, that's okay.
At least you can speak Spanish.
I can't.
I can't even do it.
Well, it's a new, one of my newfavorite colors, and I'm like
using it for, um, the ceilingson porches, for example.
You know, and if people don'tknow what this is,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (22:45):
is,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (22:45):
the terminology is paint blue where
you paint your porch like alight blue color, and there's
lots of variations of what thatcolor is.
There's not a.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (22:52):
not a

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (22:53):
True blue, right?
It can be a little blue green,it can be a little bluer, but
it's in that cloudy blue color.
Anyway, this is my newobsession.
Is that, uh, that Say it againfor me, Jeremy.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (23:04):
me, Jeremy.
I think it's Blato.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (23:07):
Yeah.
We'll, we'll post the colors,the Sherwin Williams color.
So that's my new obsession.
And then I've fallen into, uh,have y'all used the Color Creamy
by Sherwin Williams?

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (23:17):
No.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (23:17):
No,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (23:18):
Mm.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (23:18):
no,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (23:18):
look.
Yum, yum.
So only reason I bring it up,those colors are just the
quintessential feel of what thathouse is.
Once it's all said and donethat,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (23:29):
that,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (23:29):
that coastal warmness and sal and
texture and

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (23:34):
and

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (23:35):
white linen sofas, and yum.
Gosh, it's so.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (23:38):
So be so beautiful.
Yeah.
Uh, I think when you look at theoverreaching a lot, like a lot
of the homes and like thisdoesn't go back to the parent
trap, this doesn't go back to,uh, father of the bride because
even, although father of thebride, the house was as big of a
character in the movie as, uh,the ones later on, the identity
of that house was, I mean, itwas definitely of the era.

(23:59):
but I will say like her laterfilms, all of the,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (24:01):
Was it coastal and

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (24:02):
and

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (24:03):
not a

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (24:03):
a beachy.
Feel right.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (24:05):
Right.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (24:05):
can get really

stuart-host861_1_06- (24:06):
Completely different.
Yes.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (24:08):
Yeah.
And

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (24:08):
Mm-hmm.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (24:09):
as

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (24:09):
As were on.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (24:09):
that, um, WildHorse tour, um, by the
way, if you go on one of these,there's a company I suggest you
take.
I'll put it in the show notes'cause I saw the other companies
that were there the differencein how they were driving you
around in these sun, these, uh,Sandy Dunes was like, you were
either in like a seat with aseatbelt or you were slapped on
a bench in the back of some.
S 10 truck and they were drivingyou around, you were being

(24:31):
jerked to death and thought youwere gonna die in the ocean.
So I'll, I'll let you know whichone looked like it was.
It was the much safer one to do.
But yeah, so they were, theywere much more neutral, more
creamy, white.
It was, it was

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (24:43):
The.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (24:44):
of the bee.
That was what I found.
Like you've got the, the whitesand the creams, and then you got
a little bit of the blue and yougot a little bit of the green.
You got a little bit of warmgray in it, and it was just
very, um, soft.
But I do also love, like, ifyou're wanting to add this kind
of feel to your home, if that'sthe home, you think every time
you think of it, movie like, oh,this is where I wanna live.
It had a, a, a traditionalundertone to it.
So there were, there were.
Trim details, right?

(25:05):
We had wall trim details, floor

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (25:07):
length curtain.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (25:08):
And it doesn't mean they were fancy,
A lot of times they were justlinen,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (25:11):
Right.
But they like

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (25:12):
pinch pleat, right?

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (25:13):
kind of classic

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (25:15):
She loved to use, uh,

stuart-host861_1_06-12 (25:17):
contrast

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (25:18):
dark

stuart-host861_1_06-1 (25:18):
furniture for.

jeremy-guest246_1_06 (25:21):
authentic, like, um, uh, well, and she, it
was a mixture.
So she, she used that a littlebit of everything, but it didn't
feel all new.
I think that was always.
It felt very curated.
Like she had an old antiquetable or something that, you
know, her grandparents had outin the shed that they used, that
she now used as a sign table.
But then there was a antiquebrass, um, really formal looking

(25:43):
like little lamp

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (25:44):
So

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (25:44):
on it with a crystal bowl with
something like it.
It was just very found with themlike rocks from the, the ocean
in it.
Right.
So it was like very collected

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (25:52):
goes back to our conversation about
loving marble if it gets alittle stain.
Okay?
And if the wood table has alittle scratch or a little, uh.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (26:03):
uh,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (26:03):
Um, little mark on it.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (26:05):
it.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (26:06):
Okay.
That's what gives it thewrinkle.
That's what gives itpersonality, right?
Everything doesn't need to beperfect.
Our kitchen table, um, Kathy's,um, grandmother came down and
they make, uh, apple pies andliterally the apples are off the
farm and they cut'em up and Imean, it's this whole, uh,
little hair house in prairiekind of moment, right?

(26:26):
And we had had a glass top onthis wooden top and it had
broken somehow.
Uh, so that, you know, so Kathywas always used to the glass
over there and it protected thewood top.
Well, it had broken.
And so they made the apple piesand they took them over there
and I guess they were still hotor warm, and they set'em on the
wood table and it left whiterings, you know, or white hot

(26:47):
places, uh, on a couple of them.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (26:49):
them.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (26:49):
And, uh, she looked at that and she
said, I need to fix that.
And she kind of stopped and shesaid, no, I don't.
That's a memory.

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (27:00):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (27:00):
I love that.
Right?
So now we have the glass top andwe have two or three white marks
under that.
And people's like, oh, can youfix that?
Yeah, but we're not going to,because every time we look at
that, we think of granny's piesand in that beautiful day.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (27:16):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (27:16):
So I keep coming back to wrinkles
in your house.
Wrinkles in your life are okay.
And Nancy Meyer brought wrinklesinto her aesthetic of that
house.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (27:28):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (27:28):
It's a found object that gave it a
new purpose.
Boy, that was deep and hokey,but that's the true story.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (27:35):
he's full.
He's full of

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (27:36):
He

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (27:37):
Uh.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (27:38):
It's the truth.
Uh, another thing that I thinkthat she was really, that a lot
of the, the details in some ofthese movies that made this feel
were slip covered furniture.
Um, soft fabrics, linen layered,soft fabrics, things like that.
I think that that was all very,again, neutral white cream, you
know?
One of those kind of softercolors or you can do a lighter

(28:01):
color.
I think it just wasn't verydramatic.
Um, but, you know, pillows thatwere on there, or layered
pillows and throws, and so itfelt very lived in, it wasn't
sterile.
It really felt like thecharacter would be typing on her
desk that was full of books.
Things that inspired her inpicture frames of people in

(28:22):
stacks of paper.
And then she would get up and ifshe was tired of working, she
would go sit at the little clubchair that was there, put her
foot up on an ottoman thatdidn't match, put, throw over a
wool throw, and literally livethere with the reading light and
look out the window.
Like it felt like it was part ofthe story.
Right.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (28:39):
Right.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (28:39):
And I think that may be one of the
reasons why people.
Connect with them so muchbecause the homes felt real.
And so I think that says, whatthat says to me is if you want
your home to emit that, you needto live in your home.
Decorate it.
So how that you live in it, notjust so that it's a pretty show
piece.
Right.
And ultimately that's our goalanyway.
Right?

(28:59):
Like we don't want it just to bepretty, we want it to be
functional.
That's always our number onegoal.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (29:03):
So as I.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-1 (29:04):
thinking of this coming into this, I
kept.
Thinking, well, you know, thethings that we say to do or that
we would suggest for someone todo if they wanted to have a ni
Nancy Meyers home.
I'm like, these are the thingswe suggest for people to do
anyway.
Like this is kind of like, it,it is innate in, um, what we, we
would suggest.
So I think she's really, evenif, if it wasn't meant to or we

(29:25):
didn't realize it, it affectswhat,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (29:28):
How we.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (29:28):
how we mix things together.
you know, I love that.
And it's, but she loved thelayer lighting.
I mean, lots of lamps.
Um, and you know, I'll

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (29:36):
I.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (29:37):
turn an overhead light on, never
you're in the kitchen.
You gotta see.
But, um, you know, lots oflighting, lots of little moody,
little cozy little spaces.
Um, I always loved that.
I, I always loved their use oflamps and lights'cause there
were always floor lamps.
Um, and it was a good, a goodmixture of, um, those things.
There's also a lot of windows alot of the time, so, I mean, if

(29:58):
you don't live with having a lotof windows, you just have to
deal with it.
But, But you know, the otherthing that I always loved about
her kitchens was that it wasn'tjust a showstopper, right?
It had bowls of fruit, it hadbowls of vegetables, it had
canisters full of flour and, uh,grain and like those

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (30:15):
It, it was lived in, right?
It was lived in like the

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (30:18):
So you see.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (30:20):
You

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (30:20):
All these houses and you're see on
magazines and they're literallythe void of any appliance, any
canister, anything.
It just looks like it's just anew kitchen and somebody's
getting ready to move in.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (30:33):
in.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (30:34):
Now we're starting to see it evolve
and, and people are starting tolayer back in things, but you
still see a lot of very sterilekitchens and what you just honed
in on, uh, Jeremy and Stewartreiterated it.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (30:45):
It's like

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (30:46):
When, um, we have like right now these
beautiful old Crocs, uh, thatare creamy color, and there was
a set of three of them and theycame from, uh, the, the
listeners who out there were,don't know, but, but here in
Lexington, uh, it was the dishbarn.
You guys remember that place?

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (31:03):
Oh Lord, the dish barn.
Yes.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (31:06):
it's out toward Nicola.
Anyway, it was,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (31:07):
Oh yeah.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (31:09):
yeah.
Yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (31:09):
It is.
No more.
But

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (31:11):
Yeah, yeah.
But literally those Crocs camefrom there.
The, you know, these, these, youknow, they're creamy and
crackled.
And now that everything I own,like me is broken in, in a
thousand years old, but I stillhave them in, like Kathy bought
bags of lemons and I put thebags of lemons in there, and
then she got some bakingpotatoes, and I put the,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (31:28):
the,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (31:29):
instead of putting the baking potatoes
under the sink or in thebasement or in storage, I put
the baking potatoes in the bowlsand they're sitting on the
counter and it's that.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (31:37):
'cause literally that

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (31:39):
I can pull from that.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (31:40):
that.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (31:41):
At the heart of it,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (31:42):
it,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (31:42):
I think we,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (31:43):
we,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2025 (31:43):
I don't know if you are, but

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (31:44):
but at

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (31:45):
of it, I love things very fixed and
very tailored, but I also likevery functional and so like if
the lemon's setting on the bowlnext to the water pitcher, I.
Sitting on a cutting board, Ican go, I will be more apt to go
use that lemon.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (31:57):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (31:58):
the potatoes are sitting there, it
reminds me, oh, let's haveloaded baked potatoes tonight
instead of hiding in the way.
And that becomes a texture.
And so therefore there's more onthe countertops in a way than

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (32:09):
than

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (32:09):
what you think that, but it's lush
and layered and life for me.
And so I love, I love exactlywhat you're saying,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (32:16):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (32:17):
and it's the, it's the sickness that
you have, Jeremy.
Don't know that anybody's quiteas bad as you.
You have the 21 beautifulcutting boards, but like I have
a layer of cutting boards nextto the stove and we're literally
pulled from it.
But there's a butcher block onethat's big and then there's a
marble one that came from thestore and there's one that was a
gift and there's one that camefrom, uh, that we picked up that

(32:38):
we went to an art fair that'slike a little paddle one.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (32:41):
one.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (32:41):
So all these beautiful textures,
the cutting boards are all just

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (32:44):
just

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (32:44):
laying on top of each other and
leaning, and

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (32:46):
and

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (32:47):
they're artistic,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (32:48):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_0 (32:48):
literally.
Whatever size that you need,you'll pull from, or whatever
you're trying to get across,it's at your fingertips.
And we have the world's largestrock.
Uh, literally it, it,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (32:59):
it,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (32:59):
it, guys, I'll tell you this,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (33:01):
this,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (33:01):
it is a, it's where we put all of
our utensils in and so, and soinstead of putting all the
utensils in drawers, which we'vegot a thousand up

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (33:08):
of

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (33:08):
this vessel, it is actually a pot
that you put plants in.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (33:14):
in.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (33:14):
Okay.
And I took it in many years agoand I spray painted it white
now, but it has these reallycool, interesting words on it
in, in Italian and see, you seeit,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (33:23):
it,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (33:23):
but I bet it has 50, um, utensils in
it, of wooden spoons and tongsand it's all sitting there and
it's all there because we cook alot.
Right.
And we're pulling from it.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (33:36):
it.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (33:36):
And I have this one favorite spoon
that was, um, made.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (33:40):
in

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (33:41):
Bea, like a wooden spoon.
It was cart and it's got thedate on it and the guy's
initials on it.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (33:45):
it.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (33:45):
And that's our favorite even goes
down to

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (33:47):
to.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (33:47):
having your favorite wooden spoon that
you bought at a craft fair 25years ago.
That sounds crazy, but that's,that's just how we live.
And I look at that goofy spoonand I go, Hmm, I love you spoon.
I really do.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (34:01):
You know, side note, what is it
about wooden utensils?
Like we, you know, we have somesilicone, we have some metal, we
have my number.
One thing that I always reachfor is a wooden spoon, or a
wooden little, like, a little,another thing that looks like
it's angled.
But, um, I, there's somethingabout the textile part of it and
then like using it in the pan.
And I just, I love it.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (34:23):
I have a, I got

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (34:24):
Yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (34:25):
pull that I always, instead of using
like a uh,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (34:27):
uh,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (34:29):
mit, it's a wooden pull that you
like, hook on the little rack ofthe

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (34:33):
Did we sell those here?

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (34:34):
and you pull it out to pull

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (34:36):
Yeah,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (34:37):
out.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (34:38):
yeah,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (34:39):
It's like, I use it every time I can
try

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (34:41):
yeah.
Yeah.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (34:42):
a little toy.
It is like a little toy.
I am like, Ooh, I get my hotoven toy.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (34:49):
Well, the another thing that, uh,
since we're on the, thediscussion of, of, um.
with her, you know, a lot ofthem Now listen, this is where
you have to know you, right?
So I know that I can't havestacks of, we eat at home
probably three nights a week,maybe four nights a week.

(35:14):
The rest of it is either we'reout, you know, dinner with
friends, you know, somethinglike that.
So we don't go through a ton ofdishes, right?
I cannot do open shelving.
With plates and cups and bowls,because we won't go through them
often enough to be able to keepthem clean.
They will just get there andthen they'll get, so you have to
clean it out, you know,constantly, every time.

(35:37):
But she always had mixing bowlsstacked somewhere, right?
They were always there.
And I loved how of course, youknow, these kitchens that they
had were not small gallkitchens, right?
These were all kind of big,grandiose hearts of the home.
but their use.
Of copper pots and pot racksthat were, you know, truly
functional, but were used aspieces of art.

(35:57):
Now those are great to use.
You can't put those in everykitchen.
'cause if you don't have theceiling high, you know, you, you
just can't do that.
But maybe there's another wayyou can approach it.
So I guess what I'm trying tosay is, if you have an eight
foot ceiling, please God, don'tput up a, a.
A pot rack over your island, youbang your head every day.
Um, but that texture of thecopper, uh, and, and all that in
there, it, it, it just reallyfelt like an old, old slash new,

(36:21):
like old English kitchen right.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (36:23):
Hmm.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (36:24):
like that, that, that, that fun feel
to, it was like you never couldreally, uh, pinpoint it.
I just love those.
I just want

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (36:30):
Well.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (36:30):
it and make a croissant

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (36:31):
Like our, our everyday dishes that we
use every day

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (36:36):
day.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (36:36):
are behind glass doors.
So, but they're arranged inthere when they come outta the
dishwasher to go in a certainorder.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (36:44):
Mm-hmm.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (36:45):
it's like, that's the ones we use
every single day

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (36:47):
mm-hmm.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (36:47):
and you know,'cause

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (36:48):
know,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (36:49):
the only closed storage we have,
that's where the food is.
'cause we don't have a pantry.
as big as that place is, there'sno walk-in pantry, you know, so
we have to use like the fiveclosed cabinets to hide food.
So that's not behind the glassdoor,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (37:02):
door,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (37:03):
but it is, it is a display.
Every time you put dishes backfrom dishwasher, which I think
is kind

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (37:09):
Yeah, no, I, that's in the basement.
When I, uh, finished it, I have,um, two glass cabinetry and
that's where all the dishes go.
And it's the same thing I, Iworried about is it gonna be
maintenance to maintain that.
But because they get used by momand dad, it's just fine.
It's worked out.
And if it is one bowl's a littledifferent over here.
Again, that's the wrinkle forme.

(37:29):
Uh, but it really hasn't provedto be an issue at all.
You know, guys, um, the thing isthis a true story and I'll go
back to the broken record.
Uh, something's gotta give.
She collected seashells, right

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (37:42):
Rocks,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (37:42):
that one.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (37:43):
was it

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (37:43):
Yeah.
I think it

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (37:44):
Was it rocks?
Was it rocks?
Okay.
So, so from us, and this is nota.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (37:48):
not a,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (37:49):
is

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (37:50):
new thing, but you know, when you go
to the beach, people a lot oftimes will collect seashells.
So what we've done through theyears is I'll collect the
seashells and we'll put it in aglass bowl and I'll, I'll write
a little note and I'll tuck iton the bottom in and, and

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (38:04):
and

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (38:04):
when the date was and where we went,
and like a little note and whowas there.
And the seashells it tells.
So one day when I'm dead andgone.
Somebody will have thoseseashells and they may throw'em
away, but they also may notthrow'em away and they see
there's a person and a life anda story behind these seashells.
And now, um, because I don'tneed to buy anything else.

(38:26):
I don't need to even buy anotherglass bowl.
Right.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (38:30):
Mm-hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-2 (38:30):
when you want to buy things and
create experiences, so last yearKathy and I,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (38:35):
went to

squadcaster-57bc_1_06 (38:36):
Virginia, which is.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (38:37):
is,

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (38:38):
Um, not too far from where my
parents, uh, and her parentslive.
Uh, and we went to, uh, atheater and kind of for a long
weekend and we went to anantique store and they had these
little covered glass dishes andthey were nearly nothing.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (38:52):
And

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-20 (38:52):
And I said, let's buy one of these
dishes, and this is what we'llput our next collection of
seashells yet.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (38:58):
in.
Hmm.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12-202 (39:00):
So I create a memory on top of a
memory.
And so we've had, um, so we weresupposed to go into Siesta, uh,
last fall, but the hurricane hitand so therefore it got put off.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (39:11):
This

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (39:11):
we've had this dish for almost a year
empty.
Ready for those seashells.
So I got the little note when webought the dish and, uh, where
it came from and all thosedetails.
And I, one of the, the joys wasbringing home those seashells
and cleaning them and diggingout that dish and writing my
note who and where and how, andputting those seashells on it
and adding that.

(39:33):
So I clean off the coffee tablein our former leaving room.
And dig out all the bowls ofseashells and bring'em all
together and create thiscollection of seashells for the
rest of the summer.
And it's that moment ofcollecting things and telling
your story and it's a littlepiece of history.
So

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (39:50):
So

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12 (39:50):
that's a beautiful, layered way to
remind you of where you've beenand what you've done.
And, uh, tell your story just bycollecting something you love.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (40:00):
Mm.
Love that.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (40:03):
Well, and you know, I love Daddy Bill,
but he must have loved golfballs and roofing nails.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (40:12):
Oh, a straight man in his toys.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (40:14):
Lord have mercy.
Two.
Filing cabinets full of golfballs, all labeled bags.
One said, uh, trash, which Idon't know why he kept them.
Others said

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (40:27):
said

stuart-host861_1_06-12 (40:27):
chipping balls.
Other said favorites.
Others said, uh, fairway.
listen different balls I guesshe was gonna use when he was
golfing at different points oftime.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (40:38):
time.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (40:39):
Like hundreds of them.
One of the guys working

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (40:44):
Okay, so I look at you, Stuart, and
say to you, how do you take thatand turn that into an art
installation, you know,instantly instead of it being in
a file, can you are creative,turn that into an art piece.
I think that can be justfascinating.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (40:57):
I, I have been

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (40:58):
have been saving

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (41:00):
Pieces and parts of things to make
something, and when I, when Ifeel I have enough, I will, but
those particular golf balls,with the exception of two,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (41:09):
two,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (41:10):
one of the guys working is like, I'd
like to have damn golf balls outthere.
I said, well, you just put'em inyour trunk because you like to,
you like to golf and he would behappy that you're using them.
So, but there will be a, a, abill collage at some point,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (41:28):
point.
Mm, well, We've talked about,like, uh, some of those are
higher price point things,details that you can add to the
home, but they're

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (41:36):
also.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (41:37):
easy ones.
They're almost always wereflowers, right?
They almost

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (41:41):
always were hydrated.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (41:42):
You can, it

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (41:43):
Feels very,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-1 (41:44):
upstate.
New York feels very, you know,Hamptons just a collection of

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_ (41:48):
it also feels very

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12- (41:49):
right?
Just, you can't go wrong withthat.
Um,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025 (41:53):
And then

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (41:53):
there were always.
That's the other.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2025_1 (41:56):
I know that sounds like the
craziest thing, but

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (41:57):
it's easy Little things that you can
add in that just makes it feellike it's really real and lived
in.
So hopefully maybe thelisteners, they can gain how to,
add some Nancy Meyers love totheir house.
And remember, again, it's more

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (42:12):
About

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (42:12):
a feeling.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (42:14):
right.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025 (42:15):
an actual exact style.
So it's about making you feellike it's there.
And I had one more quote fromanother blog person about her
style.
So you can think of this ifyou're trying to inspire you how
to use it in your house.
it says decorate your house likeyou're the

stuart-host861_1_06-12- (42:29):
Person.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (42:29):
who eats pan toasted sourdough with
the smear of plum preservesevery morning for breakfast.
A wash of the soft glow morninglight.

stuart-host861_1_06-12-202 (42:38):
Wow.
Wow.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-20 (42:40):

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12 (42:41):
picture for you

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (42:42):

They're comfortable,

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (42:46):
yeah.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2 (42:47):
small details, they appreciate the,
the, the, the things and thecomforts of, of home in life and
they enjoy them every day.
And I think that that's, thatwas pretty spot on.
I

stuart-host861_1_06-12-20 (42:58):
Yeah,

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (42:58):

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-202 (43:00):
you know, hey.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-12- (43:02):
Well, what I walk away from it, it is
about the detail.
It's about the most minute,pretty simple detail, and that's
what makes a home different, andthat makes it, that's what makes
it yours.

jeremy-guest246_1_06-12-2025_ (43:16):
I would al, I would even go
probably a step further.
It's about the minute personaldetail.
I think

stuart-host861_1_06-12-2 (43:21):
Right.

squadcaster-57bc_1_06-1 (43:21):
