When I mentioned that we weregonna start doing the podcast,
did you all ever think we weregonna do'em on the road like
this?
Nope.
Well, it's a better sound studiothan what we have at home doing
the podcast on the road.
This is fun.
It helps pass the time.
So is it a road cast, maybe.
(02:34):
Road cast podcast?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.

Well tell the people where we'reheaded to.

He's a great driver.
And I'm in the front seat inTwas in the back and he hasn't
fallen asleep yet, so I did oncefor a little bit.
Yeah, A little bit, yeah.
Oh, did it?
Alright.
Well there's no, I, I may fallasleep.
I have just gotten back from a,uh.
Little European jaunt that wedid with some friends that had a
(03:15):
wonderful time.
That's the only reason thatwe're in this podcast.
So he could talk about hisvacation.
'cause he's rambled on now fortwo hours that we've already
talked about.
Two hours.
We're gonna talked about itagain.
I thought we should just tapedit the first time.
Oh, now I'm have to hear itabout it again.
And he said, well, what did youdo while being gone for vacation
for two weeks?
And I was like, well, I workedon a blow up swimming pool out
in Palomar.
(03:36):
Uh, but other than that, I havenothing.
So he's talking about it.
So he went to a place called.
Edinburg.
Oh my god, ed.
Oh my God.
Right.
Just stops.
Like, how, how about Jeremy tellhis vacation story?
Okay, well I just don't want himto say edburg another time.
Well, don't worry'cause I'm notgonna say that because that's
not how you say it.
But we, uh, went with somefriends and had a wonderful time
(03:57):
visiting a, a few places.
And one of the places we wentto, was in Denmark and it was
never on my radar.
And you know, we're passing thelittle windmills.
It's so appropriate'cause theyhave them.
Oh yeah.
All over there., But.
We went to Copenhagen.
Oh wait, you said we're passingwindmills.
We're on our way to Chicago.
Oh.
Oh, we never said that.
Sorry.
We never said where we weregoing.
We're on our way to Chicago togo meet with a company that we
(04:19):
work with, um, to go see theirproduct line for Christmas 2026.
So we can come up with whatwe're doing for the 20th year.
This is the 20th year.
Year 20th year.
Yeah, our 20th year working withthem.
So that's why we're in the cargoing past just south of
Chicago.
Past the windmill fields.
Past the windmill.
Yeah.
So we're in, we're in Indianasomewhere.
Um.
But we were in Copenhagen, whichwas never on my list of cities
(04:43):
to go.
We were planning on going toAmsterdam and they were having
their pride festival the weekthat we were supposed to be
there.
And we knew that it was justgonna be just a hot mess and we
didn't wanna do it.
So we thought, where's anothereasy place that we can get to
from London?
Um, and so I went to copay, andI have to tell you, this is one
of the places that if it's noton your list to go, that it,
like it needs to be on yourplaces to go because it's such a
(05:07):
fast.
Place it's flat.
Um, everyone speaks English.
Um, and it's beautiful.
The culture there is wonderful.
There's no crime.
Um, or there's, their crime rateis like, we'll just say this.
People left their housesunlocked.
People didn't lock up theirbikes.
I mean, it was, you know, allthese multiple things, but it
(05:27):
is.
Just a beautiful, beautiful citysurround.
They have these canals that goin and around them, and I'm
telling you, this is a placethat I thought I'm not gonna
enjoy going.
There we're, it was just gonnabe an easy little stop.
It was beautiful.
Um, and I can't say enough goodthings about Copenhagen, so if
you've never been, put it onyour list.
(05:48):
Um, and it's real easy if you'regoing to London.
Uh, we always try to tell peopleit's so easy to get to London
and then it's very inexpensive.
Have to get from there to othercities.
Um,'cause you know, there's somuch closer, right?
So, um, but you need to put onyour list.
I wore, I took my Dr.
Shoal shoes that I've discussedon here before.
Um, did wonderfully.
(06:08):
I will link those back againdown to the show notes because
they were so comfortable.
And then I was telling you allabout my bag that I got this
little old duffle bag.
Yeah.
He's talking about this suitcaseon rambling forever.
All he end result was people isjust so he can get a dig in on
his, Jeremy, his husband.
Because his backpack wasn'tuseful.
And I like you spent 10 minutestalking about this suitcase so
(06:29):
you could be hateful to yourpoor Jeremy.
I think that's all it was about.
I wasn't hateful.
All I was saying is he couldn'tfind anything in the backpack.
And if he'd had this back, it'dbe much easier.
But I, it's if you're doing anytraveling or you like to do like
two or three days, are yougetting paid to this?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm just telling you, I saw my,one of my friends had one of
these bags.
It is like, it was the answer tomy prayers.
(06:50):
It was so, so good.
A suitcase was an answer to, itwasn't a suitcase.
You prayed about a suitcase.
Listen, the people like to knowwhen things change your life for
the better.
Okay.
They did right.
It may not be a pretty fastlook.
I also say to it, Stewart may begoing rear end a Honda Santa Fe
in front of us.
I think that's kind of ugly.
Just It's ugly.
Yeah.
Sidetrack.
(07:10):
I just looked at it.
That is a, an ugly butted car.
There you go.
Not a pretty.
Okay.
Talk about the suitcases.
Change your life.
Just, I'm, I'm not gonna talkyou more about it, but it was,
it's called Half day.
I, there'll be a link.
Be a link.
I'll there, but you just have togo.
But just I, if you haven't.
Traveled outta the country.
I know that it's expensive andit, it can be.
Um, there, there's lots ofchallenges, especially if you've
(07:32):
got people you're taking care ofor things like that.
But if you can get out of the,in our little small area and you
just see the world, every time Icome back, a better person.
Okay, but tell the people yousplurged.
Oh, we're not discussing abouthow much the air, air, no, no,
no.
I don't wanna tell him a price.
Okay.
I'm not tacky like you.
Oh my God.
Away.
(09:20):
Well, and then I was convinced,well maybe if you just get a
good one the first time, youwouldn't keep throwing'em away.
So we bought four pillows, andI'm not gonna say how much,
'cause it was embarrassing thatwe even bought'em, but let me
tell you, I have slept so goodon those pillows in those six
months that we've, well then youhave to put a link to, it's
(09:42):
because people know,'cause I'mcurious to know what it is.
Okay.
I, I will.
So when you say varis, it's likea hundred dollars a pillow?
No.
What we got two differentversions of, of appears.
What?
Know what the expensive pillowsare.
Well then they're all king size.
Okay.
So we got two that are a littlebit more firm and they were$325
(10:03):
a pillow.
Oh Lord.
Yeah.
Where are you getting your moneyfrom?
And then where are you gettingthis?
So Trump, we got a very.
Feathery version that was about180 a pillow.
Oh Lord.
Even that I can't even feed mybaby sausage.
I swear to God, if you are outthere selling your body on the
(10:24):
streets, I'll get you now.
But here, these are on your,your bed, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, you're not sharing with theguests?
No.
The old ones I couldn't sleep onare in the guest room.
Duly noted.
I will say to you, that is morethan I would've had.
I told you you did.
Okay, but we're going to, theremight be somebody that's, their
(10:46):
neck is Macy and they need this,right?
They're from Macy's, so I diduse some like star money and
stuff, but I, I'm telling you.
And you know, they're like, ofcourse, you know, blah, blah,
blah.
You can bring it back in 90days.
I'm like, well, I'll be bringingthis shit back in 90 days.
Uhuh, I probably want some more.
I mean, they're really goodpills, huh?
Okay.
(11:06):
Okay, so I'm curious.
I am a stomach sleeper, so I.
I like a pillow that I can likemaneuver and so I don't like a
super firm one.
We have a, like a memory foammattress, so you know, it kind
of holds and goes to your shapeor whatever, but I sleep on my
stomach, so I like to, or myside sleeper tee, so mine's
kinda like in between.
(11:27):
I don't want it super soft.
But we do that, that's one ofthe things that we do in our,
our guest rooms as well, is makesure we've got mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Um, multiple pillows as optionsbecause there's just nothing, it
can't get, well, my personal, myneck is half broken.
I don't know what I did to athousand years ago, but Kathy
found one's made out like memoryfoam.
And if you look at this thing,it looks like some origami
(11:48):
folded looking thing out.
And I've got it right beside mein the car because I cannot
sleep without this pillow.
'cause it basically, once youput your head down there, it, it
just.
Makes it sit there and you can'tmove like an egg crate.
It is, it really is.
It is the best thing.
It was just Amazon, like 50bucks or something like that.
But it really, and I've wentthrough this this first second,
and this might be the thirditeration of one, but it has
(12:09):
changed my life.
People I'm telling you.
So if you have a bad neck andyou, you don't know this, this
cradles your neck and it's got,it ain't$325.
I do worse though.
I told you.
I know, I know.
Look, okay.
So we've got good pills for eachof us.
Our.
Our guests with finding outthey're getting second hand
pillows is what we, well,they're still Ralph Lauren.
(12:29):
Okay.
There go.
So it's not like they'rehorrible pillows.
I don't know where ours are, butwe definitely have like a firm
and a soft there that they canpick from to make sense.
Mm-hmm.
So now, mm-hmm.
I, I always sleep hot, so I needa fan on.
Mm-hmm.
And I need a sound of a fan.
Mm-hmm.
So like in the, in the guestroom, I will have like a sound
machine box?
(12:50):
No, actually I'll actually havelike a little, uh, little fan
that sits over in the corner ifthey want a fan on, for a
hearing.
So I'm thinking of, of me, and,uh.
So, do you have a TV in yourguest room?
We do not.
Uh, yes.
Yes you do, Jeremy.
You do, don't we?
We do not.
We don't either.
I, I wonder if we should haveone.
Uh, but I, I, as a guest, Iactually,'cause we always go to
(13:13):
sleep with the TV on, uh, so Iwonder if we should put a tv.
How about this, Lisa, in theaudience, you need to tell us.
Should we have a TV in the guestroom?
We're like, nah, don't worryabout it.
This is a big deal.
Well, and I think ours, like inother guest rooms, I have not,
but this particular house, thatguest room was our bedroom for a
while while we were doing arenovation and we just kind of
(13:34):
left the TV in there.
Right.
I don't know if anybody actuallyuses it.
Of course, when they go up andthat side of the house, I'll
just say goodnight.
I'll see you for coffee in themorning.
I don't go back over there.
You know, I would probably liketo have a TV if I were a guest.
I'd like to have one even thoughwe don't do it.
Okay, so.
Next detail.
We don't, we don't have one.
Only in the, in the sense thatlike we know a lot of our
(13:56):
friends that come and stay withus, they, um, also always bring
their laptops or their iPads andthey watch whatever on Netflix,
like on that.
Now, we do have a friend whosleeps with the TV on and he
just wants that noise.
I, he brings his iPad, then hefalls asleep, I guess.
But, um.
Most of the time people are downand then they just go upstairs
(14:17):
when they wanna go upstairs.
I don't, don't know what they'redoing up there.
No, I don't care.
They can do whatever they want.
Hell don't know.
Aren't you the one though thatused to have like a little tray
of snacks for you?
Yeah.
There's snacks up there.
Yeah.
I, I hate you.
That's the dumbest idea I'veever heard.
Why do you want people eating inyour bedroom?
There has, there it's, there'snot a a, a TV meal up there.
(14:39):
It's like little bags of,there's bags of nuts and biscoff
cookies and.
And, uh, where'd you get thisidea from?
The Delta Lounge?
Okay.
Well, you know, it, it, um, it'sjust nice to have something
there.
What actually, you know what,does anybody ever eat them?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, they do.
Okay.
Yeah.
And our friend, like we havefriends in Columbus that when we
(15:00):
go up and stay with them, theyalso have snacks and bottles of
water and things like thatthere.
And, we'll, if I wake up and I'mhungry,'cause you're, you go
upstairs and then you might geta little Na naish naish na,
what's the word, NAS Naasha.
Want a noch, I want a no.
You want a noch?
I want a noch.
Um, but then also my husband'sdiabetic, so sometimes his, you
(15:22):
know, his sugar will go reallylow in the middle of the night.
Does he holler at my sugar's?
Sugar's low sugar, high?
Well, I mean, he didn't wake meup.
He just takes care of it, but sowe always try to make sure we
have something sweet.
Does he ever holler at you, justsugar, and you think he's
talking to you?
No.
No, he'd probably yell hatassholes.
Oh, wow.
Depends on what day.
Um, but so like, we always tryto have something there, so I
(15:44):
always try to have somethingsweet and something salty and
some good little test things.
But, you know, I, I always, ifsomebody has it, I'll always try
something.
And we also have a coffeemachine upstairs.
Really?
Yeah.
I would appreciate that.
We have a, a little, like alittle pix single.
So your fridge can't even makeit to the kitchen.
Huh?
(16:04):
Well, here's the deal.
Our, the way our house is setup, our bedroom is on the first
floor as is, is everything else.
And the only thing that'supstairs are two guest rooms
and, uh, a bath.
And so if they were to wake up,and some of them are early birds
and they get up much earlierthan I do if they want some
coffee, I don't wanna make themfeel like they have to come to
the front downstairs and all theway to the kitchen to get it.
(16:25):
So we have little, um, I justknock on your door and wake you
up to make coffee.
Well, no, they know they,they're welcome to anything.
I mean, if they want to, we, Ithink I've mentioned all.
Here before Jeremy has, I don'tknow how many, like coffee
machines.
We have one Keurig and then anespresso.
And then I don't, I don't drinkcoffee, so I don't get it.
But, um, there's, there'smultiple options.
But again, we do it upstairsjust because it's, you know,
(16:48):
it's just easy for them to get,then they can eat and snack and,
okay.
Don't have to worry aboutanything else.
Well, you know, my mama wouldnever let me have food or drinks
in the bedroom, so I can thinkthat's my phobia.
Right.
Maybe I, if somebody's hungry, Idon't want'em to go hungry.
And I also don't want'em make itfeel like they have to come
downstairs.
I know a detail.
I always try to make sure thatthere's a phone charger in the
(17:09):
room in a and a cape or themm-hmm.
Cord.
Mm-hmm.
In case somebody can't find it,they don't have one.
I always try to make surethere's one that's laying on the
nightstand that's a littledetailed.
Mm-hmm.
That, um, everybody's alwaysneeded to charge their phone.
I'm like, there's one layingthere just in case you need it.
And we got the little, um,little octopus one.
Uh, it's a little linen covered.
(17:30):
It looks like a little, well,it's about the shape of a dollar
bill, I guess, but it's kind ofoval and you just set your phone
on it and it charges Hmm.
Like so you don't have to haveto plug it up.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
So, and it, and you can do like,where'd you get that thing from?
I have, or offline somewhere.
Huh?
Offline somewhere.
I don't remember the name of it.
If I can figure it out, I'll putit in the show notes.
Well, you can't tell all yoursecrets.
(17:51):
Well, no, I mean, it's not asecret.
We're trying to help people,like make it much more, uh, you
know, cozy.
But then we also have like extratoothbrushes and.
So, because you never, youalways forget something.
The only thing I don't have islike a hairspray.
Alright?
Who's the one you all, well,you, you've forgotten your
deodorant.
You've forgotten your savingcream.
Mm-hmm.
Socks preparation each once.
What else you forgotten?
(18:12):
Every time we go to Atlanta,he's forgotten something.
Cables, he forgot his, uh,charging cables once it happens.
Now Stewart's never forgottenanything.
He always has that plusOxycontin and Band-Aids.
I mean, if I ask him forsomething, he's got it.
Uh.
Um, do you all I don't do, Ithink Martha Stewart did this
(18:34):
thing a long time ago where shehad like little, she folded up
robes and she had house shoesand ta like, do y'all do any
like thing like that?
No, no.
That's goofy.
I, for me it feels a little toomuch.
But if you have that, I thinkthat's wonderful.
Now listen, I did think abouttrying to do some like, um,
house shoes to have up therejust so if people wanted to walk
(18:54):
around,'cause both of the rugsthat we have upstairs in the
guest rooms, you know what myguest would say?
Hey.
Lady forgot her house shoes inmy room.
I put'em over in the corner.
Well, and sometimes I don'twanna see cousin Eddie down his
robe right in my breakfast room.
Yeah.
The, the robe I, I've never donethat.
But the house shoes again, just'cause we have the sisal rugs
(19:15):
and if you're going barefoot,sometimes if there are people
aren't used to that, they might,uh, might, could be
uncomfortable.
Although they could get apedicure out of it, you know.
There you go.
That's the way I look at it.
Um, and then we always, we havea hair dryer upstairs.
Make sure that, because it neverfails.
Yeah.
I don't have hair though.
You don't?
(19:36):
Well, you do.
You just shape what you haveleft.
Well, it just looks like an oldman ring, so I have to sha it
off.
Oh Lord.
These people in front of me areabout to kill me.
Well, at least it's not thathorrific.
I'm gonna pull a towanda up onthis expedition.
They should.
Jesus.
Um, you know what, the one thingwe don't have is a sound
machine.
I think we might need to dothat.
(19:57):
We do have a sound machine.
Um, actually an alley's room inparticular.
And then actually at the, thelake, we have a sound machine of
both bedrooms because they're,we, we haven't in hours because
listen, it's the best sleep ofmy life.
That blackout curtains.
Honey, listen, if you, if youdon't have blackout curtains in
there, just go ahead and do it.
Yeah.
They don't have to be expensive.
(20:17):
Buy the ones off Amazon,whatever.
Uh,'cause it does make such adifference, especially when
you're sleeping in a place thatyou're not used to.
Well, the other thing is to makesure, you know,'cause we're not
too far away from fall hitting,even though it's.
90 degrees right now that youmight have a, uh, a thinner
summer blanket on your bed.
Uh, he's gonna drive it.
(20:38):
Sorry, that was me veering offthe road.
Oh, we're head mercy.
We're not going be fine.
But, uh, you know, when itstarts getting cooler to switch
it out or add to it to get asofter.
Thicker fuzzier, uh, blanket oran extra quilt, uh, that's easy
access in the bedroom, uh, forthose little nippy cool nights.
Mm-hmm.
Do you all have, um, I am not aceiling fan person in any room
(21:01):
of the house, unless it's likea, like a functional.
Thing, right?
Like I, I need to have one inour sunroom because I need the
air to circulate and I have tohave one in the bedroom because
I sleep pot as well.
So we have that up in the guestroom.
They don't bother me.
If you get hot, you turn thatfan on.
But I do, I like layers ofbedding.
I personally don't sleep withit.
But like on our guest roomsupstairs, we have a nice, uh,
(21:23):
they're good sheets.
They're not like bowling brands,they're not like super expensive
sheets, but they were good softsheets.
And then I did get a real nice,uh, there's like a waffle quilt
that goes, that goes on it, andthen a, a real soft duvet.
So there's that, like thosemultiple layers where they can
kind of throw off and throw on.
I need that weight as hot as Iam.
I really, I need the weight.
See Jeremy, I bought Jeremy oneof those, um, weighted blankets.
(21:46):
They have like the little glassbeads in them or whatever.
Yeah.
Because he had mentioned aboutwanting to try them and I got
the smallest size I could get.
'cause I thought if he thinkshe's gonna put this whole thing
on this thing, I thought I amgonna bake to death.
So we got it and he put it onthe bed and only takes it,
covers his half of the bed, andhe was like, uh, it's not the
right size.
I'm like, oh no, this is theperfect size, right?
(22:07):
This is for you.
This is your size.
I don't need this.
But he does love the weightedblanket and our, uh, comforter,
it's a duvet.
It's actually called the combinducer.
Fiber fell and it's, it's all adown feather and stuff.
It's heavy.
It's real heavy.
And I do like that quite a bit.
(22:28):
But I sleep hot too.
But Do you have to hot?
Do you have to sleep with onefoot out?
Mm-hmm.
I have to have my, my one, myone foot has to breathe.
It's my temperature control.
Yeah.
Is that what it is?
Mm-hmm.
I didn't know that.
Usually I have one shoulder out,uh, on my pillow.
Hmm.
I got a leg out because I can'tput my feet out'cause the
boogeyman might get it fromunder the bed.
(22:49):
Um, and by boogeyman I mean a6-year-old little curly headed
princess who comes down to myroom at 4:00 AM who did it three
nights last week, is scared theliving shit out of me because
she stands right next to the bedand puts her nose right up to my
nose.
Daddy, daddy.
And then I.
(23:10):
SWAT at her because it scaresme.
'cause I'm asleep.
So I take her upstairs andDaddy, why did you hit me?
I'm like, I didn't hit you.
I swatted because you scared thecrap outta me.
And she goes, and you always peewhen you do that.
'cause I take her upstairs.
Oh.
And I'm like, get in bed.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I said, daddy's prostate's old.
(23:34):
We'll be woken up at 4:00 AMwith some whispering Angel ghost
voice in your face in 160 yearold me old house scare.
Yeah, it does scare the piss outyou every now and then.
So funny.
Mm-hmm.
Now don't wake me up.
Uh, speaking of, speaking ofblankets, oh, one of the things
(23:57):
that they had in Copenhagen wasthat when you slipped, there
were two duvets, one for eachperson.
So they were only like halfsize.
Huh.
So they, it's evidently verycommon, uh, in Europe and
certain places in like Icelandand there.
So you like, you're not stealingsomebody else's blanket.
I loved it.
Huh?
Now the problem was they weretoo small.
(24:19):
Um,'cause I'm just tall and Iguess I'm taller than I don't
know.
But I need, but I did like that,that little girl, what do they
have in Ed Burr?
They just had one big, one, bigtwo value.
Okay.
Now we know.
Mm-hmm.
But yeah.
Let's see, what else Do we have?
Anything else?
Oh, you mentioned, I wanna knowif any listeners have bowl and
(24:42):
branch sheets.
We do.
You do?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I love them.
Yeah, I love them.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
And they just get softer themore you wash'em.
Yeah.
The unfortunate part, it's ifthere's another brand out there
that y'all love just as much asBoll and Branch, tell me about
'em.
Because I know part of liketheir wonderfulness is just the,
