Speaker 2 (00:04):
I mean, I'm here and look who's back.
I'm back.
It's time for another episodeof who's Driving.
So you made it back from yourlittle birthday vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yes, you already said that was a really good, that
was a really good decision to dothat trip.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You said you wish you had made it a little longer I
do, and that's funny that.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
but you know, the next time I'll be like oh, I'm
glad it wasn't any longer.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know, it just depends on where you are.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know I hadn't been to Miami in so long.
I you know.
I didn't know if I was.
I had such a horrible time thefirst time with the food
poisoning?
I just didn't know.
But we had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And so you made it back without any drama, no food
poisoning, no real incidences oranything.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
No, any good stories I didn't poop my pants.
I didn't have a car accident,nothing, oh dang.
Oh, I did have a road rageincident, oh.
Yes, so while we were there,the Miami Tennis Open was going
on.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, um miami tennis open was going on.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, you know, um dylan is a tennis player and he
loves going to tennis matchesand that crap, but you didn't
know this was going on.
He headed down there well, hesaid that I knew, and he told me
and I said, oh well, we're notdoing that.
But if I, I don't recall butthat- does sound like something
(01:44):
I would have said I think thatsounds but, we.
He told me when we got there andI was like, oh, we'll get a
ticket, you know, it was like 40minutes away, yeah, and I was
like it's fine, you know, it wasup near closer to fort
lauderdale I was like it's fine,I'll drive you.
Um, I didn't want.
I wanted him to take advantageof that opportunity, so I drove
(02:05):
him up there.
Lots of traffic, was it theHard Rock?
Whatever it's called?
Something, something, yeahsomething, where the Dolphins
play, and so traffic was crazyand it was crowded, of course.
So then I had to coordinatewith him.
Sorry to pick him up.
(02:28):
Yeah Well, I was.
I rented a Mustang convertiblewhile I had the top up, because
it was too noisy driving on thatfreeway.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I know, you know that's the thing with
convertibles they seem like thefun thing to have.
You know, I had the thing withconvertibles they seem like the
fun thing to have.
You know, I had a Mini Cooperconvertible and it seems dreamy
to have that.
Sorry, you can drive those withthe top down about eight days a
year.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And then it's annoying because it's I mean,
it's good Like we would.
How much damn water are yougoing to drink?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A lot.
I've got this allergy call fromthis yellow dander outside.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I mean that bottle is going to light up and blow up.
You're drinking so much water,it stays lit.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And one of our, one of my followers, sent me a
message and and it made me laughout loud and it said you can
tell when someone has reallybonded with their water bottle.
Yeah, and I have.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
He has this water bottle I love, I've got to order
another one for myself.
I love these water bottles.
So funny story.
I like to make fun of it, butit is a great thing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Dylan's mother was asking something one of my
Christmas presents and he saidgo ahead and get him a backup
water bottle.
Yeah, that's really.
I'm going to continue that,because these Hydrate Spark is
(04:12):
what they're called.
If you're in the members onlycommunity, I have it linked over
on the site you need one, butHydrate Spark needs to listen to
me on one thing we need ahandle on this puppy.
I think they have those now.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They have new styles when I was linking them and you
can buy the replacement bottompart in case you know how you
drop it and it breaks orsomething if you drop it Really.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So I don't have to buy the whole bottle.
I don't think so, because Idrop them, I mean, and they are
made really well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
They really are.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I knock the hell out of them and I you know.
We have concrete floors at homeand this one has bounced across
the concrete multiple times andit's still working.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But one day it's gonna be all she wrote you know,
what's funny is I still havemine and I think it may work,
but I'm like, oh, it's probablygot water sitting in it from a
year ago.
I just need a new one you knowwhat?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I'm saying just get a new one um but in the app I
just love how it like, it justreminds me when I think I'm
drinking a lot of water and II'm, I'm not, I'm lying to
myself, and it just says you'rea liar, drink some more water,
and um, and I need that, butanyway, back to the uh
(05:31):
convertible.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You can uh, it seems dreamy to have that but then you
can only put the top down likeeight days a year, especially
around here, because when it'sthis time of year when it's
really nice you got the pollento deal with then in the
summertime you think it's goingto be nice put the top down.
No, it is hot as hell when youhave the top down it is you stop
(05:53):
at a red light and you'resweating.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I use mine as a convertible.
More in the fall and then thefall in early spring.
That About eight or ten days ayear.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's great, maybe on vacation at the beach or if
you're in the mountains, butit's too hot, because we would
do that in Hilton Head and I'dbe like, oh, we got to pull over
and put the top back up.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, it's too much.
And my neighbor just got aconvertible for her 80th
birthday and I told her I waslike, girl, don't put the top
down until about 1st of May.
She was like why?
I was like you will never getall the pollen out of your car,
that's right.
And I'm so allergic I was likedon't put the top down.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
She was like I never thought about it.
I was like you will.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You do it one time and you're getting all that
green out of the little crevicesin your faux leather.
The other thing is if you wanta convertible.
This is just my two cents.
I've had two convertibles.
I've had one.
Soft top in my current mercedesis a hard top.
I just totally recommend a hardtop.
Yeah, because the truth of thematter is you drive it most of
the time with the top up and ahard top is like you're just
(07:17):
driving a coupe car.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, because mine was a soft top and it's louder
and hot.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Okay, so you had a road rage incident, I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I went to pick him up in this um elderly man which
was probably my age, um wasvery.
He was in this mercedes suv andhe was very aggressive you know
that type you can see, just onmy ass and whipping over and I'm
like you need to calm down.
Here we are, you know, at thisbusy ass stadium, at this tennis
(07:53):
you run somebody over, probablylike an Uber driver.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He got.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, he was snooty, snoot, snoot, like those tennis
people, I'm just kidding snoot,snoot, like those tennis people,
I'm just kidding.
And so I flipped him off andwas screaming and you know
inappropriate things and then heflew around me doing that and
he was doing it.
Yeah, dylan was like you havegot to stop doing this stuff,
(08:22):
you're going to get shot.
Yeah, people just shoot you now.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And he's right, it's true or right, or they're
recording it and you end up onlike going viral on tiktok.
I'm fine with that because Ican see me opening the app up
and scrolling through, andthere's your dumb ass flipping
someone off yes, and I'm okaywith that If they push me to
that point.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
you deserve it.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, have you ever watched on?
Do you scroll TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
much.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I know we send each other, but I don't know if you
like, and then the ones thatcrash into people after they do,
oh yeah.
After the road rage no, butlike people who do wrong things
and there's these people on TikTOK that find them like, just
from like one little background,they do the whole story, like
they find the person that didsomething wrong and they tell
where they work and where theylive and all that'd be you and
(09:15):
they will dig into your historyand those skeletons, dig baby.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Dig there ain't.
There, ain't nothing.
I'm not going down with you digthere, ain't nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I'm not going down with you.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
There ain't nothing that is that entertaining or
anything else.
I've lived a pretty boring life.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm going to open up the app and you're going to be
on there and that's going to bethe end of us.
We're going to get canceled.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It could happen.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Get canceled because of your dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You know I remain to be one of the most overinsured
people I know, just because Iknow one day I'm going to snap.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You kind of taught me that when I was setting up
business insurance and stuffYou're like go ahead.
He said you need a couple ofumbrella policies because you
need layers.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah because there's going to be the day when you
just slap these living shit outof somebody and not necessarily
employ.
I mean, it could just beanybody, anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And I'm like I just I need that, yeah, the insurance
person has said something beforeLike do you need all of this?
Yeah, and we're like I just Ineed that, yeah.
The insurance person has saidsomething before Like do you
need all of this?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And we're like, yeah, it's worth it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's worth it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well, you know, when I own McDonald's, I know you
love it when I bring that up.
But you know I've gottenseveral messages that that is
people's favorite topic on here.
Ok, but anyway Doesn't have tobe every episode but I really so
.
One of the great things was isthe package insurance.
It was ridiculously expensivebut you had so much insurance,
(10:57):
like I always the insurance youcould get through mcdonald's as
well, no, it was for mcdonald.
It was three big insurancecompanies, you know, because
that's what?
Well, no, it was for McDonald's.
It was three big insurancecompanies, you know, across the
country.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But that's what I'm saying.
But it was bundled for.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, you had like I had like $37 million.
Oh, you could almost runsomeone up and just do a little
payout Zoom, zoom, yeah, thatwas.
And so when I sold I was like,oh, you know, I need to get some
, get some.
(11:27):
Yeah, and you know, if you'relistening, since we're talking
about this, we've talked aboutthis before and especially if
you have a business, even if youdon't have rage issues like I,
do need to make sure that youhave the right amount of
liability on your car, becauseif you don't have, if it's an
(11:50):
insurance gap, if you don't havethe right amount of liability
on your car, your, your packageinsurance cannot kick in.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So you always want to double check that yeah, yeah,
yeah, you have to up your carinsurance to make sure there's
not a gap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had to upyour car insurance To make sure
there's not a gap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had to dothat on my like.
They were like, oh, you got toup this so that this will be
effective, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So I was scrolling through Instagram.
Mm-hmm, and you know very fewthings make me feel old.
Oh, I really don't feel old.
I feel like I'm 28.
Mm-hmm, and don't feel old.
I feel like I'm 28, um, and youdon't look a day over 55.
Well, thank you, that's animprovement.
Um, I was what I was scrollingthrough and there was a post
(12:34):
that said I am this old, and itwas the smoking sections in high
school oh yeah, I saw that postlike someone was out.
I think I sent it to you.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh, did you and I was like oh my god, you remember
smoking sections yeah, do you?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
no, they didn't have that no, they didn't have that.
When I was there, you I meanpeople snuck around and oh no,
no, no, we had um, we hadmultiple sections at daniel high
school.
You could smoke, the studentscould smoke.
Was it legal then?
Yeah, oh yeah, you could smokeout toward the football stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
How old do you have to be to smoke?
18?
.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, but you know then everybody smoked.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's what I'm saying, Like.
I guess it was more enforcedwhen I was Our principal smoked.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, our principal smoked, and I can remember her
standing outside on the frontsidewalk and smoking, walking
around, I guess thinkingclearing her head you know.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm sure she wanted to kill smoke.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, she would smoke , yeah, and she would even smoke
with students at times, but itwas just a different.
I was like that is, I hadforgotten about it.
Yeah, I was like that is, I hadforgotten about it.
And then, you know, when I wentto work at McDonald's in 88,
everybody smoked.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, you said Everybody.
Keep their ashtray at the endof the.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And in the morning, at breakfast, you could not see.
I'm not kidding, you could notsee from one end of the lobby to
the other.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It was just a haze, all the old people sitting there
having their breakfast andcoffee and smoking it up it's
crazy, and it's crazy how it'schanged.
You know, since daniel and Igot together in 2008, um, it was
still like a lot of restaurantsin the city of greenville still
had smoking sections and youcould still smoke in the
(14:27):
restaurant.
And then since then it's, youknow, there's no smoking in
restaurants and that sort ofthing.
Public areas like that.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh, it's yeah and it's not.
You know, and I'm not listen,I'm not chastising any smokers
or anything, it was just it'scrazy how it's changed.
Yeah, or you know, it's just sodifferent, yeah, and honestly,
I mean I remember it but I don'teven.
I have no recollection of evenjudging those people.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, it was the norm , then you wouldn't judge them.
It's not like now.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It was just like oh, I don't smoke.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Everyone smokes.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I didn't smoke, but it wasn't like it is now.
Like now, you know, people arelike, oh, they're smoking,
they're smoking.
And listen, I don't love smokein my face or anything, but I'm
just going to tell you, ifyou're not blowing it right in
my face, I know it's not good.
I mean, for goodness sakes, mymother died with lung cancer.
(15:27):
I'm not a proponent of it, butI'm not like one of those people
oh, I smell cigarette smoke.
I'm not one of those, but Imean I one of those people oh, I
smell cigarette smoke.
I'm not one of those, yeah, butI mean I don't love it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah Well, I don't know.
Some people like the smell ofit.
I don't love the smell of itand I don't want to smell like
it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I love the smell of tobacco.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't want to go somewhere as me, not a smoker
like to a restaurant and comeout smelling like smoke.
So I don't.
I do agree that you shouldn'tbe smoking where, like you,
don't have an option to well,and you know in all, fairness we
didn't know what we know now.
Yeah I mean.
But who wants to go to arestaurant knowing it or
harmless, harmful, or harmless,and come out smelling like
(16:10):
cigarette smokes?
Because the smoke, because thetable next to you is like
smoking it up or something, Idon't know.
Like you said, it's a differenttime.
I saw one similar to that, apost on whatever social media,
talking about making me feel old, which you know it's my
birthday time right now.
I just had it.
When this comes out, um, but itwas all the like sitcom parents
(16:34):
I can't remember if it was momsand dads or just a mom,
whatever, but their ages whenthey were on the sitcom.
And they look old, they looklike old people.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, and now I'm older than all of them.
The Golden Girls, when theywere on air, when they started,
were all under 50.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Crazy.
They were like Old women, Iknow, but you know I can't
remember the examples, but saythe home alone mom when she was
42 or something.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm twoyears older than her.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That seemed younger to me, but when you get into
like the Aunt Bees from AndyGriffith and you start really
looking at ages, it's like whatin the hell?
Yeah, that is true.
But, I remember, like mygrandparents being listen, my
grandparents were attractivepeople.
I'm not knocking them, but Iremember when they were my age
(17:30):
and they seemed like really old.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, that's how it is.
When you're a kid To you kidsthat are, you know, seven or
eight, you seem old, like reallyold.
Well, that's how it is whenyou're a kid To you kids that
are, you know, seven or eight,you seem old, like really old,
like grandpa old.
That's how it works.
Don't ever ask a kid how old doyou think I am?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
No, you don't ask a kid or a drunk Anything unless
you want the absolute truth.
Don't ask, that's right.
Don't ask, they will tell oh myGod, it's true, so anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So, speaking of my birthday Joy, You're going to be
40, 44.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
So we're going to be in Atlanta at the Atlanta market
.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But Joy from Simply Joy Soaps if you haven't checked
her out, check her out, there'syour plug.
Joy, no, she does make the bestsoaps.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Y'all listen, I would sell her soaps.
I'm going to tell you like itis.
I would sell her soaps but, Idon't want to, because the
margins are so slim.
Yeah, it would take away fromher.
Yeah, so I would rather promoteher soaps, but let me tell you,
her exfoliating soap is thebomb.
(18:56):
It is so good.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Especially like I start really really using it
this time of year.
I use it all the time, but thistime of year when I'm going to
put on my self-tanner, my faketan, because my legs get a
little ashy and dry, and stufflike that.
That exfoliating soap is sogood.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
And she has an exfoliating soap with grits and
sugar on one side and the otherside is smooth, so you can
exfoliate your arms and legs andwhatnot, but when you get to
your Netherlands you can use thesoft soap Right, because you
don't want to scrub off your.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no to scrub off your.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
No, we do not need sandpaper down there.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's also good, like I use it almost as a I don't
know like utilitarian type, likeif I've been painting or
something like I was paintingthe room the other day, you know
you get paint on you.
You use that gritty side.
It is so good.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
But it's simply Joy Soaps on Etsy.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, so I think you can just search for it.
You can put it in the shownotes.
Yeah, I'll put it in there, alink to it.
So get your soaps.
Anyway, she sent me for mybirthday a National Day calendar

Well, you know, Canada doesn't have pennies.
I think the plan is to do awaywith pennies.

You.
I think the plan is to do awaywith pennies.
You would just round everythingto the nearest spot.
I think they cost more thanthey're worth.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, they were saying they cost more to make
than they're worth.
It costs a lot of money, butreally I'm fine getting rid of
pennies.
Who needs pennies?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I have like 10 million.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But you don't need them.
No, I don't need them.

People keep pennies so theyhave to keep making them because
they're not in circulation.

reading.

Ok, so another thing and thiscame from Facebook, not
(29:10):
Instagram and Instagram.
I've seen it on Instagram and Idon't know if we've ever talked
about this.
Do you not think these bachelorand bachelorette part like
weekend?
Do you not think that's gottena little crazy?
Because now it's not like.
You know, when I was in collegefor a bachelor party, you know
(29:31):
I went on them and you just went, you know, to a nudie bar and,
you know, went out for the night, went out for the night and you
ended up at a nudie bar.
And then they pull the thegroom on the stage and do nasty
stuff to him in a chair.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, now, and I think, and then I think the
females just had a shower orsomething.
I mean they hung out girlsnight yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Now, and I think the females just had a shower or
something.
I mean they hung out girls'night.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, and now it's like whole damn weekends.
Well, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It's all kind of dumb to me and I didn't do any of
that.
I have never been to a bachelorparty.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
It's so boring.
Because that's why I didn't go,because I was like oh, and if
you're having to celebrate orsay goodbye to your single life,
that much should you get me bemarrying that person.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I know, I don't know well, now it's become an excuse
to have, like a guys or girlsdrunken weekend drunken weekend
getaway vacation and now they goto like an island.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, it's big that I like, but why wouldn't you do
that with your future spouse?
Like I would want to spend thattime and money yeah.
I just think differently.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Like I would or I would rather buy something new,
furniture or a TV.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Well, I, feel like Daniel and I talk about this all
the time and you and I'vetalked about it randomly, but
weddings have gotten so out ofhand and the amount of money
that people spend on weddingsand I'm thankful it supports our
businesses in different ways.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So you know what.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Spend, baby, spend Bigger the better, but I just
sit back and I think all thatwasted money on a weekend, I
mean the cost of these weddingsnowadays is more than I mean you
can you can't buy a housebecause that's gone up too but a
(31:22):
really really, really, really,really, really substantial down
payment.
I mean people are spending likea hundred thousand dollars and
stuff easily.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I have been to one wedding, I mean one that was
excessive and I it was family,so I know it was over 250 000
hell I listen.
You can buy a rental condo for250 000 and make money and money
(31:52):
and let me repeat, not only wasthis 250 000, it was at the
breakers in palm beach and itrained, so they spent all that
money.
It was supposed to be outdooron the water, it rained, we were
(32:12):
we.
They had ended up having theceremony in a ball room.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, it was, could have been anywhere.
Was the?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
biggest waste of money and like they spent money
and listen, you do you.
If that's the way you what youwant to do, I don't give a damn
if you go out there and burnyour money.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I'm talking about me right, I would have such a
problem if I had a kid and hadthe and they're like oh like and
they gave away.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Um, you know, everybody's little gift is a
guest.
All the guests got uh good dive, uh chocolates that were shaped
like seashells and I'm like Imean excessive.
And then the room it was soexpensive.
I mean it's a thousand dollarsa night.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's crazy it just gets stupid.
You know, daniel and I went tolas vegas and got married, as
you know because you were thereand we still, randomly, we
talked about it and we're likethat was the best.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Thing and who suggested that you did.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You know, we were engaged for like two years and
we kept putting off the weddingbecause locally we felt so much
pressure, like we would run intopeople and they're like, oh, we
can't wait to come to yourwedding.
Well, first of all, you weren'tinvited.
You weren't, you were nevergoing to be on the list.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
But they no offense to anybody.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
It's just not.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Right Possible list.
But they no offense to anybody,it's just not right possible.
And then, yeah, becauseeveryone wanted to come, and
then it would be like, oh, Ijust know it's gonna be so
amazing because we owned agarden shop and you know flower
farm, and this was at thebeginning of the flower farm and
all that.
But they just had thisexpectation that we were gonna
just be this botanicalwonderland.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And there is.
You know, dylan and I have notofficially gotten married yet.
We are, in every sense of theword, on paper, but no ceremony
yet.
But also people just want to goto gay weddings because they
know it's going to be good.
Yeah, they know the gays aregonna do it right.
(34:26):
So, and the gays will do itright.
But I can tell you I ain'tspending my money on that for
you to come to that so so wewent to vegas and spent like
five grand.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, it was the best time.
It was perfect that was kind ofour quote honeymoon and wedding
all in one place.
We got married at CaesarsPalace, in the garden.
So it was still a little ourpictures are in like a little
garden set.
It was hot as three hails.
If you do decide to do this andgo to Vegas and get married in
(35:03):
the Caesars Palace garden, makesure it's not 102 degrees.
Oh my gosh, so it is.
It was really cute Like alittle garden setting.
It's like walled off in alittle part, probably by the
pool.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And the officiant looked like Wayne Newton.
Oh, he did Just like the blueblack hair.
I mean, I think he was probablyintentionally trying to look
like Wayne Newton.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, but the you know it was supposed to look
like an old garden.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So they had concrete benches out there and my ass
print in sweat was right there.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was 102.
It was in September, september18th, and even my cousin
remember Kristen, and wheneveryone got up their ass,
prints were on the concrete,because it was like sitting on a
hot stone.
We were baking, yeah, baked.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It was big sweat prints.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
It was just like a piece of bacon.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We had little succulent little boutonniereses
and it was so simple andstress-free and the best thing.
And then we went to dinner thatnight.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It wasn't like ugh yeah.
And everyone got to do whatthey wanted to.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
the whole time I felt like most weddings are like
stuffy and overdone, and thatwas it and we love it.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
We're like that's the way we would do it over and
over.
We said that this morningSomething randomly came up.
I was like you want to go toVegas Get married.
I don't know how it came up,but it was funny.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I just think I mean, why waste money on something?
So?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I really want you and Dylan to do something.
We need an excuse to gosomewhere when y'all get married
.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, yeah, it would be and it will be.
I mean, I might even wearshorts.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I have to be able to wear jeans and yeah it would be.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
It would be super casual and because that's the
way I want it.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, but that was the best thing.
But I can't believe how muchpeople do spend on weddings and,
like you said, that's theirmoney and their prerogative.
But like just looking back andI know there's all this build-up
especially, I feel like morefor the girl, um you know,
(37:14):
getting married and that sort ofthing, and then like a week
later it's done.
I mean one day.
One day, but like a week later,it starts to become a distant
memory and you could have hadthat money.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Huge down payment on a home yeah.
Or invest on a second property,or go buy a new car or put it
in your retirement, Mm-hmm.
And I mean, if you're a big, ifyou're majorly social person
and a party person, then I guessit you know, I guess, yeah, I
(37:41):
mean whatever, yeah.
Whatever turns your crank crank.
Whatever blows up your skirt,uh-huh it's true.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, I mean, what else you got today not?
A damn thing you were tellingme something before we started.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Oh, gosh, you're not supposed to bring that up.
I wasn't.
No, that really makes me seemlike a sociopath.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I thought this was going to be a topic so I didn't
know, we were just small talk.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And he was like you know something, that just Dylan
buys all the groceries.
I do not like supermarkets.
I like supermarkets.
I don't like the people in thesupermarkets.
I want to crash into them.
Yeah, and you know there'salways somebody to irritate me,
just all up in the way, slow,slow.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Taking up the whole aisle.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, it's just frustrating.
So he does all of that and he'svery good at it and he enjoys
it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I mean, daniel enjoys going to the grocery store.
You know, for a long time Iliterally tried to avoid that.
We lived this sounds horrible,but it's not.
You would get it but you don't.
But whatever, we lived downtownand I would go to the grocery
store and you know, you justwant to run in and get something
and I would see all thesepeople that I knew and they want
to talk and chat and this andthat and it would be.
(39:00):
You know it would take.
You know, sometimes you justdon't want to say hey or
whatever.
It became an ordeal to gogrocery shopping.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, I try to go where people don't know me.
If I do and listen, I love ourcustomers.
But there's, yeah, but it's atime and a place, and sometimes
you just want to go in lookinglike hell Right, and you don't
want to see anybody.
Or you know you're going in andgetting a six-pack of redneck
beer and you don't want.
You know I mean whatever it isthere you know?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, but now if you see me out, please say hello.
Yeah, it's not that we don't.
We avoid the places.
We avoid the places when wedon't want to be said hello to.
Yeah, if we're there, you cansay hello to us, um, but uh.
So he did the grocery shoppingforever.
He loves it, but now we're outhere in the country no one does.
No one out here knows me well,so dylan um, he loves mandarin
(39:57):
oranges and the good thing isthe grocery stores out here that
one stays open.
There's one like two-tenths ofa mile from our house to 11.
In the city they all close at 9.
So I go grocery shopping atlike 10 o'clock I'm like, hey,
I'm going to run up here and getsome, you know that's the
unfortunate thing of COVID toois all the 24-hour, All the 24,
because I would do that too,because then you know that was
(40:25):
good.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Well, he, I love bananas.
I try to eat a banana every day.
Yeah, you know, I'm almost amonkey.
I love bananas.
Um, I love banana anything, andbananas are really good for you
.
I love banana ice cream andbanana with a little peanut
butter that protein ice cream?
Uh well, we're not talkingabout that chunky monkey.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
But I?
Speaker 1 (40:42):
But you know it drives me crazy, are those?
And this is what we weretalking about, and I'm really
not a sociopath, but they putthose big blue stickers on my
bananas.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
He's trying to downplay it.
Let me tell you the punchlinehere I cannot.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
It drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
He has to take all the stickers off of any produce
when they come in the house.
It doesn't look so like a bellpepper.
Gotta come off.
I was like oh we probably justchop it up right into our dinner
.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
It just ideally.
I wish you know, I don't know.
I really I wish you know, Idon't know.
I feel like I want to pretendlike, oh, I just skipped through
some market in Hawaii and allof it just came off of a tree
and I think the stickers aretacky and it makes it just seem
like it just came in on a truck,yeah, like it did which it did,
(41:38):
so oh so it's aesthetics.
I don't know if Dylan, if we'vetalked about it, I know he has
seen me taking off stickersbecause it is a priority in my
home.
But does he just think you're?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
doing that.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
The reason I brought it up.
I noticed this morning mybananas.
There's no stickers on mybananas.
Yeah, and I'm like did he take,if he took those stickers off
of my bananas?
This takes our relationship toa whole new level.
I mean there is a level ofrespect.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
We need to call him and find out, Say I noticed that
.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I'll call him right now.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Wait are you connected to this.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
No, but, no, no, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Okay, well you put him on speakerphone and put him
up here.
I want to hear how he answersto hey baby.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Speakerphone getting close.

Speaker 1 (42:37):

It makes me mad.
Hey Hi, you're live on thepodcast, so don't say anything
ugly.
It makes me mad when he does it.
Hey, hi, you're live on thepodcast, so don't say anything

But I had to ask you a question.
What the hell is he doing?
What?
Speaker 2 (42:56):

Speaking of grocery shopping.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I'll stop.
Question I noticed that therewere no blue stickers on the
bananas.
Did you take the stickers offthe bananas?
No, there are stickers.
I'm looking at them right now.
You just didn't flip thebananas over.
Oh, and you're home already.
(43:24):
I'm going to take them offright now.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
He's going to take them off right now.

enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
So he was telling, telling, we were talking.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I was talking about.
I was saying how I'm OCD overthe fruit having stickers and
wondered if you, we can roleplay.
I can say you took those offbecause you normally beat my ass
if I leave.
No, I said if you took thoseoff it was going to put our
relationship at a whole newlevel.
(44:12):
But luckily we're not there yet, honey.
So if you want to take thosestickers off the bananas, that
would be great yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
They're off now, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
I glanced at them.
They were a little green, so Ididn't have my banana this
morning.
But I was like, huh, oh, you'regoing to have to do better.

But let me tell you, youtalking about autopilot, yeah,
do you?
Speaker 2 (47:48):
you probably didn't show up, but once a month for
five months customer complaint.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I can't imagine staying at ajob like no one, especially
retirement.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
I mean, it's not like she needs a I had to care about
certain things, you know,because it affected your money.
But the other stuff, no, Iwouldn't be good but working for
someone in retirement is shesad at all?
I don't think so not like notattached to any of the people.
I don't think so.
I mean, would you be?
(48:21):
You know, I don't know how I, Iit, my, my mind works so
different.
Yeah, um, I don't.
I was like sad.
I was sad after the fact, butit was so different.
Mcdonald's was like a cult, andnot in a bad way, it was just a
(48:44):
way of life for 30 years for me, and I guess everybody's job's
like that.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, you're dedicated to it.
You show up, you go there everyday and then you just wake up
and don't, and you just don't,and you just don't.
And you've survived and gottento retire and they had three
boys boys, which reminds me of afunny story.
Oh god, I need to ask them all.
All of daniel's family listensand we're gonna get disowned.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
I don't know well I mean, you're the one I listen.
I ain't saying nothing, but I,bobby and terry, I think y'all
should do something.
Maybe come out here and helpdaniel on flower farm.
Yeah, come on out.
What's something you've alwayswanted to do.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
I know, but one time I'm not going to name which
brother.
This is a funny story.
I'm going to get in trouble.
I'm going to tell it anyway Onetime.
One of the brother.
I'm going to have to get thefull details.
I'm going to ask, but one ofthe brothers, one of the three
(49:52):
kids, their room connected tolike the attic, I think, is how
this went.
I don't know if it connected ormaybe they had like they have
like a bonus room that wasoutside of the room.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Anyway, one of the kids went into the attic late
one night to take a little puffypuff on some grass Weed.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Weed Marijuana and fell through the ceiling in
their master bedroom.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I don't know if they landed in the bed or just feet
went through.
Listen, I know two.
I know Daniel and I know one ofhis brothers I don't know the
youngest.
I'm not naming which one and Ican say the two brothers that I
know it's a damn toss up.
It could have been either.
It could have been either one.
What I would pay for is I wouldpay for a video of that
(50:46):
happening.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Can you imagine sleeping in bed?
I'm going to have to ask thefull story.
I need the whole story, and youknow which one you are.
I'm going to see him this week.
I'm going to ask about it.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
I wonder, like when that happened, do you have like
joint in hand?
Can you smell?
Speaker 2 (51:08):
Don't you think maybe it had already kind of kicked
in and that's lost a littlebalance and that's why you fell
through the?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
ceiling.
That is so something that wouldhave happened to me Trying to
sneak around.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
See, that's why.
Speaker 1 (51:20):
I didn't do shit like that.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
I think there was a window in the attic or something
.
So they were trying to, likeyou know, walk across and then
blow it out.
Blow it out the the window see,I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
I did not do that in high school because I was so
scared of my parents, um, but Iwish I had, if I could.
No, if I could turn if I couldturn back time, I would have.
Now I drank enough beer tofloat a battleship, yeah, and
liquor, and I mean I had fun,especially in high school
(51:58):
because it was really easy.
And yeah, especially back inyour day, yeah, it was different
, it's more relaxed, it wasdifferent.
But you know, drugs things weresafer then, yeah.
So if I could go back, I wouldhave totally been a pothead.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
No, you wouldn't.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah, I mean yeah.
In fact, if I do retire, if Iever do get to the point where I
say I really want to be retiredand I don't have to do anything
all day long, I'm going to be apothead, maybe that's their
plan.
Maybe Terry and Bobby are goingto be like burnouts.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Maybe that would be funny, that would be funny like
burnouts.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Maybe that would be funny.
That would be funny.
They're really buttoned upacademic professional types.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
That's what makes it even funnier about one of their
kids falling through smokingweed is.
They're very professional andbuttoned up.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
I promise you they weren't dropping through
ceilings.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
I promise you they did not respond well to that I'm
going to have that aspect, butcongratulations for retiring and
surviving three grown kids now.
And you know all of thatbecause, oh my goodness, that
needs to be.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I feel like when it comes out which brother it was,
I think we need to talk about iton this.
I think we need to call him andtalk about it on this podcast.
Like how did this happen?
Speaker 2 (53:29):
But yeah, I may have to just get the details though,
because he may not want to know.
You know, professionally andstuff.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
I mean it's 2025.
Everybody has a past.
Come on.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
Oh my gosh, I just can't imagine.
You know you think you'resneaking around, going to take a
little puff or two and thencrash through the ceiling on
your parents, you know, abovetheir bed.
I would have jumped out theattic window, that would have
done it, that's what I wouldhave done.
Speaker 1 (54:03):
So a friend of mine had a worker over and it was a
McDonald's owner and he had aworker that we both used and the
worker was telling me aboutthis and if you knew this owner.
(54:29):
Picture me times a thousand.
This is how buttoned up and inanal, this mcdonald's owner was
very persnickety man.
The guy was working upstairsand he just crashed through the
ceiling and and and my friendwas sitting in his chair and he
looked at me.
He was like hello, and I waslike that is all he said.
It's like yeah.
He just looked up and said well, hello.
He didn't like oh my gosh,because I would have been like
(54:50):
what?
Yeah, no, he's like well, hello, I.
And I.
I can't imagine that terry andbobby were like well, hello, no,
I'm sure they're.
Like we're're going to kill you.
I would have.
I know what a mess I know.
And I would have probably had aheart attack.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
That too, I'm going to get the scoop.
We're going to have to do afollow up.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Definitely they're probably going to be like never
mention us again.
When is Terry's last?
Speaker 2 (55:20):
official day.
Today, April 1st, In retirementparty on April 3rd Thursday.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
That is really exciting, isn't it?
I mean, it really is a hugeaccomplishment.
That is, I remember when my momretired and I went to her
retirement party and I was like,I mean, I don't think.
I really thought about it.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
So my dad's still working, he's in his mid-70s.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Well, you know, both of us will still be working.
Yeah, my dad's not that side ofmy family.
Speaker 2 (55:52):
They work, work, work .
I will be up in the middle ofsomething I don't know, probably
still trying to do a damn livesale or something.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
Listen do not be surprised if I'm still around 80
years old.
You drive into a Starbucks andthere's the and I'm I'm making
your coffee.
I might be driving a Bentleyout there in the parking lot,
but I'll be serving your coffeeand I'll be like I'm.
(56:17):
I'm building some moreretirement.
Speaker 2 (56:20):
I hope you are doing that.
Some more retirement.
I hope you are doing that.
And they're like are you thatguy that used to be on who's
Driving podcast and y'all hadthe nest.
What happened to all that?
Was it?
Don't you always wonder, like,how's it going to end?
How's this like?
Where's it going?
You know we keep moving thingsforward and it's like where,
(56:41):
where, when, where?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
I mean I don't know, I guess at the graveyard, you
know, I mean because where doesit?
Speaker 2 (56:49):
or does someone offer us a lot of money and we sell
it, and then it wouldn't take?
Speaker 1 (56:53):
much I mean.
Speaker 2 (56:59):
I'm just saying I I mean there Because our
personalities are to keepworking.
But then, like when we go tothe vacation house and we're in
Florida, I'm like I don't know,I could get used to this.
Speaker 1 (57:13):
And then I'm like, oh , I yeah, I mean it was nice
being in Florida and I lovegoing to Hawaii and stuff like
that.
I just, I just I just I don'tknow, I guess it's an ADD thing
I just like, but we can dosomething smaller Like we.
Speaker 2 (57:34):
Could you know if we I think we'll end up doing a
wholesale company.
Speaker 1 (57:40):
Yeah, who knows?
Speaker 2 (57:41):
what we'll end up doing.
I don't know.
You never know what's in the.
We might be the next.
I don't know.
I mean Pier 1, back in the day,when it was good.
You know, sell it off, yeah,make millions.
Speaker 1 (57:55):
I mean wholesaling is something that really interests
me.
Yeah, I mean I'm talking likecreating behind it, like going
to China, the productdevelopment yeah, the product
development and designing,because we know we've been doing
this for so long and we knowthere are some specific items
(58:15):
we're not going to say on thispodcast, because we may do it
one day that are very, verysought after and the money is
insane.
Speaker 2 (58:25):
But there's a miss in the market.
Speaker 1 (58:27):
There is a miss.
Speaker 2 (58:29):
There's a void that we need to deal yeah, so.

I'm back.
It's time for another episodeof who's Driving.
So you made it back from yourlittle birthday vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yes, you already said that was a really good, that
was a really good decision to dothat trip.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You said you wish you had made it a little longer I
do, and that's funny that.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
but you know, the next time I'll be like oh, I'm
glad it wasn't any longer.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You know, it just depends on where you are.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know I hadn't been to Miami in so long.
I you know.
I didn't know if I was.
I had such a horrible time thefirst time with the food
poisoning?
I just didn't know.
But we had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And so you made it back without any drama, no food
poisoning, no real incidences oranything.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
No, any good stories I didn't poop my pants.
I didn't have a car accident,nothing, oh dang.
Oh, I did have a road rageincident, oh.
Yes, so while we were there,the Miami Tennis Open was going
on.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, um miami tennis open was going on.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, you know, um dylan is a tennis player and he
loves going to tennis matchesand that crap, but you didn't
know this was going on.
He headed down there well, hesaid that I knew, and he told me
and I said, oh well, we're notdoing that.
But if I, I don't recall butthat- does sound like something
(01:44):
I would have said I think thatsounds but, we.
He told me when we got there andI was like, oh, we'll get a
ticket, you know, it was like 40minutes away, yeah, and I was
like it's fine, you know, it wasup near closer to fort
lauderdale I was like it's fine,I'll drive you.
Um, I didn't want.
I wanted him to take advantageof that opportunity, so I drove
(02:05):
him up there.
Lots of traffic, was it theHard Rock?
Whatever it's called?
Something, something, yeahsomething, where the Dolphins
play, and so traffic was crazyand it was crowded, of course.
So then I had to coordinatewith him.
Sorry to pick him up.
(02:28):
Yeah Well, I was.
I rented a Mustang convertiblewhile I had the top up, because
it was too noisy driving on thatfreeway.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I know, you know that's the thing with
convertibles they seem like thefun thing to have.
You know, I had the thing withconvertibles they seem like the
fun thing to have.
You know, I had a Mini Cooperconvertible and it seems dreamy
to have that.
Sorry, you can drive those withthe top down about eight days a
year.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And then it's annoying because it's I mean,
it's good Like we would.
How much damn water are yougoing to drink?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A lot.
I've got this allergy call fromthis yellow dander outside.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I mean that bottle is going to light up and blow up.
You're drinking so much water,it stays lit.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And one of our, one of my followers, sent me a
message and and it made me laughout loud and it said you can
tell when someone has reallybonded with their water bottle.
Yeah, and I have.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
He has this water bottle I love, I've got to order
another one for myself.
I love these water bottles.
So funny story.
I like to make fun of it, butit is a great thing.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Dylan's mother was asking something one of my
Christmas presents and he saidgo ahead and get him a backup
water bottle.
Yeah, that's really.
I'm going to continue that,because these Hydrate Spark is
(04:12):
what they're called.
If you're in the members onlycommunity, I have it linked over
on the site you need one, butHydrate Spark needs to listen to
me on one thing we need ahandle on this puppy.
I think they have those now.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
They have new styles when I was linking them and you
can buy the replacement bottompart in case you know how you
drop it and it breaks orsomething if you drop it Really.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So I don't have to buy the whole bottle.
I don't think so, because Idrop them, I mean, and they are
made really well.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
They really are.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I knock the hell out of them and I you know.
We have concrete floors at homeand this one has bounced across
the concrete multiple times andit's still working.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
But one day it's gonna be all she wrote you know,
what's funny is I still havemine and I think it may work,
but I'm like, oh, it's probablygot water sitting in it from a
year ago.
I just need a new one you knowwhat?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I'm saying just get a new one um but in the app I
just love how it like, it justreminds me when I think I'm
drinking a lot of water and II'm, I'm not, I'm lying to
myself, and it just says you'rea liar, drink some more water,
and um, and I need that, butanyway, back to the uh
(05:31):
convertible.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You can uh, it seems dreamy to have that but then you
can only put the top down likeeight days a year, especially
around here, because when it'sthis time of year when it's
really nice you got the pollento deal with then in the
summertime you think it's goingto be nice put the top down.
No, it is hot as hell when youhave the top down it is you stop
(05:53):
at a red light and you'resweating.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I use mine as a convertible.
More in the fall and then thefall in early spring.
That About eight or ten days ayear.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It's great, maybe on vacation at the beach or if
you're in the mountains, butit's too hot, because we would
do that in Hilton Head and I'dbe like, oh, we got to pull over
and put the top back up.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, it's too much.
And my neighbor just got aconvertible for her 80th
birthday and I told her I waslike, girl, don't put the top
down until about 1st of May.
She was like why?
I was like you will never getall the pollen out of your car,
that's right.
And I'm so allergic I was likedon't put the top down.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
She was like I never thought about it.
I was like you will.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You do it one time and you're getting all that
green out of the little crevicesin your faux leather.
The other thing is if you wanta convertible.
This is just my two cents.
I've had two convertibles.
I've had one.
Soft top in my current mercedesis a hard top.
I just totally recommend a hardtop.
Yeah, because the truth of thematter is you drive it most of
the time with the top up and ahard top is like you're just
(07:17):
driving a coupe car.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, because mine was a soft top and it's louder
and hot.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Okay, so you had a road rage incident, I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I went to pick him up in this um elderly man which
was probably my age, um wasvery.
He was in this mercedes suv andhe was very aggressive you know
that type you can see, just onmy ass and whipping over and I'm
like you need to calm down.
Here we are, you know, at thisbusy ass stadium, at this tennis
(07:53):
you run somebody over, probablylike an Uber driver.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
He got.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, he was snooty, snoot, snoot, like those tennis
people, I'm just kidding snoot,snoot, like those tennis people,
I'm just kidding.
And so I flipped him off andwas screaming and you know
inappropriate things and then heflew around me doing that and
he was doing it.
Yeah, dylan was like you havegot to stop doing this stuff,
(08:22):
you're going to get shot.
Yeah, people just shoot you now.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
And he's right, it's true or right, or they're
recording it and you end up onlike going viral on tiktok.
I'm fine with that because Ican see me opening the app up
and scrolling through, andthere's your dumb ass flipping
someone off yes, and I'm okaywith that If they push me to
that point.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
you deserve it.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, have you ever watched on?
Do you scroll TikTok?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
much.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I know we send each other, but I don't know if you
like, and then the ones thatcrash into people after they do,
oh yeah.
After the road rage no, butlike people who do wrong things
and there's these people on TikTOK that find them like, just
from like one little background,they do the whole story, like
they find the person that didsomething wrong and they tell
where they work and where theylive and all that'd be you and
(09:15):
they will dig into your historyand those skeletons, dig baby.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Dig there ain't.
There, ain't nothing.
I'm not going down with you digthere, ain't nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I'm not going down with you.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
There ain't nothing that is that entertaining or
anything else.
I've lived a pretty boring life.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm going to open up the app and you're going to be
on there and that's going to bethe end of us.
We're going to get canceled.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
It could happen.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Get canceled because of your dumb ass.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You know I remain to be one of the most overinsured
people I know, just because Iknow one day I'm going to snap.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You kind of taught me that when I was setting up
business insurance and stuffYou're like go ahead.
He said you need a couple ofumbrella policies because you
need layers.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah because there's going to be the day when you
just slap these living shit outof somebody and not necessarily
employ.
I mean, it could just beanybody, anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And I'm like I just I need that, yeah, the insurance
person has said something beforeLike do you need all of this?
Yeah, and we're like I just Ineed that, yeah.
The insurance person has saidsomething before Like do you
need all of this?
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And we're like, yeah, it's worth it.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's worth it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well, you know, when I own McDonald's, I know you
love it when I bring that up.
But you know I've gottenseveral messages that that is
people's favorite topic on here.
Ok, but anyway Doesn't have tobe every episode but I really so
.
One of the great things was isthe package insurance.
It was ridiculously expensivebut you had so much insurance,
(10:57):
like I always the insurance youcould get through mcdonald's as
well, no, it was for mcdonald.
It was three big insurancecompanies, you know, because
that's what?
Well, no, it was for McDonald's.
It was three big insurancecompanies, you know, across the
country.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But that's what I'm saying.
But it was bundled for.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, you had like I had like $37 million.
Oh, you could almost runsomeone up and just do a little
payout Zoom, zoom, yeah, thatwas.
And so when I sold I was like,oh, you know, I need to get some
, get some.
(11:27):
Yeah, and you know, if you'relistening, since we're talking
about this, we've talked aboutthis before and especially if
you have a business, even if youdon't have rage issues like I,
do need to make sure that youhave the right amount of
liability on your car, becauseif you don't have, if it's an
(11:50):
insurance gap, if you don't havethe right amount of liability
on your car, your, your packageinsurance cannot kick in.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So you always want to double check that yeah, yeah,
yeah, you have to up your carinsurance to make sure there's
not a gap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had to upyour car insurance To make sure
there's not a gap.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had to dothat on my like.
They were like, oh, you got toup this so that this will be
effective, or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
So I was scrolling through Instagram.
Mm-hmm, and you know very fewthings make me feel old.
Oh, I really don't feel old.
I feel like I'm 28.
Mm-hmm, and don't feel old.
I feel like I'm 28, um, and youdon't look a day over 55.
Well, thank you, that's animprovement.
Um, I was what I was scrollingthrough and there was a post
(12:34):
that said I am this old, and itwas the smoking sections in high
school oh yeah, I saw that postlike someone was out.
I think I sent it to you.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Oh, did you and I was like oh my god, you remember
smoking sections yeah, do you?
Speaker 1 (12:51):

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, our principal smoked, and I can remember her
standing outside on the frontsidewalk and smoking, walking
around, I guess thinkingclearing her head you know.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I'm sure she wanted to kill smoke.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, she would smoke , yeah, and she would even smoke
with students at times, but itwas just a different.
I was like that is, I hadforgotten about it.
Yeah, I was like that is, I hadforgotten about it.
And then, you know, when I wentto work at McDonald's in 88,
everybody smoked.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, you said Everybody.
Keep their ashtray at the endof the.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And in the morning, at breakfast, you could not see.
I'm not kidding, you could notsee from one end of the lobby to
the other.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It was just a haze, all the old people sitting there
having their breakfast andcoffee and smoking it up it's
crazy, and it's crazy how it'schanged.
You know, since daniel and Igot together in 2008, um, it was
still like a lot of restaurantsin the city of greenville still
had smoking sections and youcould still smoke in the
(14:27):
restaurant.
And then since then it's, youknow, there's no smoking in
restaurants and that sort ofthing.
Public areas like that.
It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh, it's yeah and it's not.
You know, and I'm not listen,I'm not chastising any smokers
or anything, it was just it'scrazy how it's changed.
Yeah, or you know, it's just sodifferent, yeah, and honestly,
I mean I remember it but I don'teven.
I have no recollection of evenjudging those people.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, it was the norm , then you wouldn't judge them.
It's not like now.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It was just like oh, I don't smoke.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Everyone smokes.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I didn't smoke, but it wasn't like it is now.
Like now, you know, people arelike, oh, they're smoking,
they're smoking.
And listen, I don't love smokein my face or anything, but I'm
just going to tell you, ifyou're not blowing it right in
my face, I know it's not good.
I mean, for goodness sakes, mymother died with lung cancer.
(15:27):
I'm not a proponent of it, butI'm not like one of those people
oh, I smell cigarette smoke.
I'm not one of those, but Imean I one of those people oh, I
smell cigarette smoke.
I'm not one of those, yeah, butI mean I don't love it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah Well, I don't know.
Some people like the smell ofit.
I don't love the smell of itand I don't want to smell like
it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I love the smell of tobacco.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I don't want to go somewhere as me, not a smoker
like to a restaurant and comeout smelling like smoke.
So I don't.
I do agree that you shouldn'tbe smoking where, like you,
don't have an option to well,and you know in all, fairness we
didn't know what we know now.
Yeah I mean.
But who wants to go to arestaurant knowing it or
harmless, harmful, or harmless,and come out smelling like
(16:10):
cigarette smokes?
Because the smoke, because thetable next to you is like
smoking it up or something, Idon't know.
Like you said, it's a differenttime.
I saw one similar to that, apost on whatever social media,
talking about making me feel old, which you know it's my
birthday time right now.
I just had it.
When this comes out, um, but itwas all the like sitcom parents
(16:34):
I can't remember if it was momsand dads or just a mom,
whatever, but their ages whenthey were on the sitcom.
And they look old, they looklike old people.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, and now I'm older than all of them.
The Golden Girls, when theywere on air, when they started,
were all under 50.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Crazy.
They were like Old women, Iknow, but you know I can't
remember the examples, but saythe home alone mom when she was
42 or something.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm twoyears older than her.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That seemed younger to me, but when you get into
like the Aunt Bees from AndyGriffith and you start really
looking at ages, it's like whatin the hell?
Yeah, that is true.
But, I remember, like mygrandparents being listen, my
grandparents were attractivepeople.
I'm not knocking them, but Iremember when they were my age
(17:30):
and they seemed like really old.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, that's how it is.
When you're a kid To you kidsthat are, you know, seven or
eight, you seem old, like reallyold.
Well, that's how it is whenyou're a kid To you kids that
are, you know, seven or eight,you seem old, like really old,
like grandpa old.
That's how it works.
Don't ever ask a kid how old doyou think I am?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
No, you don't ask a kid or a drunk Anything unless
you want the absolute truth.
Don't ask, that's right.
Don't ask, they will tell oh myGod, it's true, so anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So, speaking of my birthday Joy, You're going to be
40, 44.

But Joy from Simply Joy Soaps if you haven't checked
her out, check her out, there'syour plug.
Joy, no, she does make the bestsoaps.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Y'all listen, I would sell her soaps.
I'm going to tell you like itis.
I would sell her soaps but, Idon't want to, because the
margins are so slim.
Yeah, it would take away fromher.
Yeah, so I would rather promoteher soaps, but let me tell you,
her exfoliating soap is thebomb.
(18:56):
It is so good.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Especially like I start really really using it
this time of year.
I use it all the time, but thistime of year when I'm going to
put on my self-tanner, my faketan, because my legs get a
little ashy and dry, and stufflike that.
That exfoliating soap is sogood.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
And she has an exfoliating soap with grits and
sugar on one side and the otherside is smooth, so you can
exfoliate your arms and legs andwhatnot, but when you get to
your Netherlands you can use thesoft soap Right, because you
don't want to scrub off your.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no to scrub off your.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
No, we do not need sandpaper down there.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's also good, like I use it almost as a I don't
know like utilitarian type, likeif I've been painting or
something like I was paintingthe room the other day, you know
you get paint on you.
You use that gritty side.
It is so good.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
But it's simply Joy Soaps on Etsy.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, so I think you can just search for it.
You can put it in the shownotes.

So get your soaps.
Anyway, she sent me for mybirthday a National Day calendar

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay, so this week that's your month-long
celebration, so I want to hearabout your celebrations.
Okay, today, which is AprilApril 1st, is obviously April
Fool's Day.
I don't even know what that oneis, so I'm not going to read it
, because it's letters forsomething.
One cent day, wait, are theydoing away with pennies?
I thought that was a thing, notthat long ago.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
How do you do away with pennies?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, you know, Canada doesn't have pennies.
I think the plan is to do awaywith pennies.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You.
I think the plan is to do awaywith pennies.
You would just round everythingto the nearest spot.
I think they cost more thanthey're worth.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, they were saying they cost more to make
than they're worth.
It costs a lot of money, butreally I'm fine getting rid of
pennies.
Who needs pennies?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I have like 10 million.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But you don't need them.
No, I don't need them.
I think that's the thing.
People keep pennies so theyhave to keep making them because
they're not in circulation.
I'd say just round it up to the.
I say go to the quarter.
I mean we're already in thedigital age.
Let's start at a quarter forchange that's pushing it.
(23:28):
Why?
What's the difference?
Whatever, oh my gosh, it issour dough bread day on april
1st and my workshop is hopefullycoming out this week, but very
soon.

They get so damn serious about their books and
reading.

You know, it kind of goesagainst the grain, I guess.
Speaker 2 (25:16):

Ok, so another thing and thiscame from Facebook, not
(29:10):
Instagram and Instagram.
I've seen it on Instagram and Idon't know if we've ever talked
about this.
Do you not think these bachelorand bachelorette part like
weekend?
Do you not think that's gottena little crazy?
Because now it's not like.
You know, when I was in collegefor a bachelor party, you know
(29:31):
I went on them and you just went, you know, to a nudie bar and,
you know, went out for the night, went out for the night and you
ended up at a nudie bar.
And then they pull the thegroom on the stage and do nasty
stuff to him in a chair.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, now, and I think, and then I think the
females just had a shower orsomething.
I mean they hung out girlsnight yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Now, and I think the females just had a shower or
something.
I mean they hung out girls'night.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, and now it's like whole damn weekends.
Well, I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
It's all kind of dumb to me and I didn't do any of
that.
I have never been to a bachelorparty.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
It's so boring.
Because that's why I didn't go,because I was like oh, and if
you're having to celebrate orsay goodbye to your single life,
that much should you get me bemarrying that person.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
I know, I don't know well, now it's become an excuse
to have, like a guys or girlsdrunken weekend drunken weekend
getaway vacation and now they goto like an island.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, it's big that I like, but why wouldn't you do
that with your future spouse?
Like I would want to spend thattime and money yeah.
I just think differently.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Like I would or I would rather buy something new,
furniture or a TV.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Well, I, feel like Daniel and I talk about this all
the time and you and I'vetalked about it randomly, but
weddings have gotten so out ofhand and the amount of money
that people spend on weddingsand I'm thankful it supports our
businesses in different ways.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So you know what.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Spend, baby, spend Bigger the better, but I just
sit back and I think all thatwasted money on a weekend, I
mean the cost of these weddingsnowadays is more than I mean you
can you can't buy a housebecause that's gone up too but a
(31:22):
really really, really, really,really, really substantial down
payment.
I mean people are spending likea hundred thousand dollars and
stuff easily.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I have been to one wedding, I mean one that was
excessive and I it was family,so I know it was over 250 000
hell I listen.
You can buy a rental condo for250 000 and make money and money
(31:52):
and let me repeat, not only wasthis 250 000, it was at the
breakers in palm beach and itrained, so they spent all that
money.
It was supposed to be outdooron the water, it rained, we were
(32:12):
we.
They had ended up having theceremony in a ball room.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah, it was, could have been anywhere.
Was the?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
biggest waste of money and like they spent money
and listen, you do you.
If that's the way you what youwant to do, I don't give a damn
if you go out there and burnyour money.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I'm talking about me right, I would have such a
problem if I had a kid and hadthe and they're like oh like and
they gave away.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Um, you know, everybody's little gift is a
guest.
All the guests got uh good dive, uh chocolates that were shaped
like seashells and I'm like Imean excessive.
And then the room it was soexpensive.
I mean it's a thousand dollarsa night.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's crazy it just gets stupid.
You know, daniel and I went tolas vegas and got married, as
you know because you were thereand we still, randomly, we
talked about it and we're likethat was the best.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Thing and who suggested that you did.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
You know, we were engaged for like two years and
we kept putting off the weddingbecause locally we felt so much
pressure, like we would run intopeople and they're like, oh, we
can't wait to come to yourwedding.
Well, first of all, you weren'tinvited.
You weren't, you were nevergoing to be on the list.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
But they no offense to anybody.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
It's just not.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Right Possible list.
But they no offense to anybody,it's just not right possible.
And then, yeah, becauseeveryone wanted to come, and
then it would be like, oh, Ijust know it's gonna be so
amazing because we owned agarden shop and you know flower
farm, and this was at thebeginning of the flower farm and
all that.
But they just had thisexpectation that we were gonna
just be this botanicalwonderland.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
And there is.
You know, dylan and I have notofficially gotten married yet.
We are, in every sense of theword, on paper, but no ceremony
yet.
But also people just want to goto gay weddings because they
know it's going to be good.
Yeah, they know the gays aregonna do it right.
(34:26):
So, and the gays will do itright.
But I can tell you I ain'tspending my money on that for
you to come to that so so wewent to vegas and spent like
five grand.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Yeah, it was the best time.
It was perfect that was kind ofour quote honeymoon and wedding
all in one place.
We got married at CaesarsPalace, in the garden.
So it was still a little ourpictures are in like a little
garden set.
It was hot as three hails.
If you do decide to do this andgo to Vegas and get married in
(35:03):
the Caesars Palace garden, makesure it's not 102 degrees.
Oh my gosh, so it is.
It was really cute Like alittle garden setting.
It's like walled off in alittle part, probably by the
pool.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And the officiant looked like Wayne Newton.
Oh, he did Just like the blueblack hair.
I mean, I think he was probablyintentionally trying to look
like Wayne Newton.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, but the you know it was supposed to look
like an old garden.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
So they had concrete benches out there and my ass
print in sweat was right there.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was 102.
It was in September, september18th, and even my cousin
remember Kristen, and wheneveryone got up their ass,
prints were on the concrete,because it was like sitting on a
hot stone.
We were baking, yeah, baked.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
It was big sweat prints.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
It was just like a piece of bacon.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We had little succulent little boutonniereses
and it was so simple andstress-free and the best thing.
And then we went to dinner thatnight.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
It wasn't like ugh yeah.
And everyone got to do whatthey wanted to.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
the whole time I felt like most weddings are like
stuffy and overdone, and thatwas it and we love it.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
We're like that's the way we would do it over and
over.
We said that this morningSomething randomly came up.
I was like you want to go toVegas Get married.
I don't know how it came up,but it was funny.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I just think I mean, why waste money on something?
So?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I really want you and Dylan to do something.
We need an excuse to gosomewhere when y'all get married
.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Yeah, yeah, it would be and it will be.
I mean, I might even wearshorts.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I have to be able to wear jeans and yeah it would be.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
It would be super casual and because that's the
way I want it.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, but that was the best thing.
But I can't believe how muchpeople do spend on weddings and,
like you said, that's theirmoney and their prerogative.
But like just looking back andI know there's all this build-up
especially, I feel like morefor the girl, um you know,
(37:14):
getting married and that sort ofthing, and then like a week
later it's done.
I mean one day.
One day, but like a week later,it starts to become a distant
memory and you could have hadthat money.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Huge down payment on a home yeah.
Or invest on a second property,or go buy a new car or put it
in your retirement, Mm-hmm.
And I mean, if you're a big, ifyou're majorly social person
and a party person, then I guessit you know, I guess, yeah, I
(37:41):
mean whatever, yeah.
Whatever turns your crank crank.
Whatever blows up your skirt,uh-huh it's true.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, I mean, what else you got today not?
A damn thing you were tellingme something before we started.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Oh, gosh, you're not supposed to bring that up.
I wasn't.
No, that really makes me seemlike a sociopath.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I thought this was going to be a topic so I didn't
know, we were just small talk.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And he was like you know something, that just Dylan
buys all the groceries.
I do not like supermarkets.
I like supermarkets.
I don't like the people in thesupermarkets.
I want to crash into them.
Yeah, and you know there'salways somebody to irritate me,
just all up in the way, slow,slow.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Taking up the whole aisle.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, it's just frustrating.
So he does all of that and he'svery good at it and he enjoys
it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I mean, daniel enjoys going to the grocery store.
You know, for a long time Iliterally tried to avoid that.
We lived this sounds horrible,but it's not.
You would get it but you don't.
But whatever, we lived downtownand I would go to the grocery
store and you know, you justwant to run in and get something
and I would see all thesepeople that I knew and they want
to talk and chat and this andthat and it would be.
(39:00):
You know it would take.
You know, sometimes you justdon't want to say hey or
whatever.
It became an ordeal to gogrocery shopping.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well, I try to go where people don't know me.
If I do and listen, I love ourcustomers.
But there's, yeah, but it's atime and a place, and sometimes
you just want to go in lookinglike hell Right, and you don't
want to see anybody.
Or you know you're going in andgetting a six-pack of redneck
beer and you don't want.
You know I mean whatever it isthere you know?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, but now if you see me out, please say hello.
Yeah, it's not that we don't.
We avoid the places.
We avoid the places when wedon't want to be said hello to.
Yeah, if we're there, you cansay hello to us, um, but uh.
So he did the grocery shoppingforever.
He loves it, but now we're outhere in the country no one does.
No one out here knows me well,so dylan um, he loves mandarin
(39:57):
oranges and the good thing isthe grocery stores out here that
one stays open.
There's one like two-tenths ofa mile from our house to 11.
In the city they all close at 9.
So I go grocery shopping atlike 10 o'clock I'm like, hey,
I'm going to run up here and getsome, you know that's the
unfortunate thing of COVID toois all the 24-hour, All the 24,
because I would do that too,because then you know that was
(40:25):
good.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Well, he, I love bananas.
I try to eat a banana every day.
Yeah, you know, I'm almost amonkey.
I love bananas.
Um, I love banana anything, andbananas are really good for you
.
I love banana ice cream andbanana with a little peanut
butter that protein ice cream?
Uh well, we're not talkingabout that chunky monkey.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
But I?
Speaker 1 (40:42):
But you know it drives me crazy, are those?
And this is what we weretalking about, and I'm really
not a sociopath, but they putthose big blue stickers on my
bananas.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
He's trying to downplay it.
Let me tell you the punchlinehere I cannot.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
It drives me crazy.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
He has to take all the stickers off of any produce
when they come in the house.
It doesn't look so like a bellpepper.
Gotta come off.
I was like oh we probably justchop it up right into our dinner
.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
It just ideally.
I wish you know, I don't know.
I really I wish you know, Idon't know.
I feel like I want to pretendlike, oh, I just skipped through
some market in Hawaii and allof it just came off of a tree
and I think the stickers aretacky and it makes it just seem
like it just came in on a truck,yeah, like it did which it did,
(41:38):
so oh so it's aesthetics.
I don't know if Dylan, if we'vetalked about it, I know he has
seen me taking off stickersbecause it is a priority in my
home.
But does he just think you're?
Speaker 2 (41:55):
doing that.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
The reason I brought it up.
I noticed this morning mybananas.
There's no stickers on mybananas.
Yeah, and I'm like did he take,if he took those stickers off
of my bananas?
This takes our relationship toa whole new level.
I mean there is a level ofrespect.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
We need to call him and find out, Say I noticed that
.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I'll call him right now.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Wait are you connected to this.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
No, but, no, no, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Okay, well you put him on speakerphone and put him
up here.
I want to hear how he answersto hey baby.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Speakerphone getting close.
I hope it's not bad.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
He better answer.
It makes me mad.
Hey Hi, you're live on thepodcast, so don't say anything
ugly.
It makes me mad when he does it.
Hey, hi, you're live on thepodcast, so don't say anything
ugly, oh Lord.
But I had to ask you a question.
What the hell is he doing?
What?
Speaker 2 (42:56):

Speaking of grocery shopping.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
I'll stop.
Question I noticed that therewere no blue stickers on the
bananas.
Did you take the stickers offthe bananas?
No, there are stickers.
I'm looking at them right now.
You just didn't flip thebananas over.
Oh, and you're home already.
(43:24):
I'm going to take them offright now.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
He's going to take them off right now.

I'm going to have to have a conference with you while
you're not still working.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's 3.46 on a Friday .
Speaker 1 (43:41):
It's fine, I'm kidding.
You're going to have to workyour ass off this next week, so
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
So he was telling, telling, we were talking.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
I was talking about.
I was saying how I'm OCD overthe fruit having stickers and
wondered if you, we can roleplay.
I can say you took those offbecause you normally beat my ass
if I leave.
No, I said if you took thoseoff it was going to put our
relationship at a whole newlevel.
(44:12):
But luckily we're not there yet, honey.
So if you want to take thosestickers off the bananas, that
would be great yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
They're off now, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
I glanced at them.
They were a little green, so Ididn't have my banana this
morning.
But I was like, huh, oh, you'regoing to have to do better.
He take the stickers off.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Right, so I need to give a shout out to my in-laws.
So both of them, today isTerry's last day.
Speaker 1 (45:27):
She's retiring, terry is retired, now what?
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Daniel's dad just retired, like a month ago.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Now, Terry and Bobby, what are y'all going to do?
You can't listen.
You need to get a hobby job, ahobby job, a hobby job get a
hobby job, a hobby job, a hobbyjob, a hobby job Something that
you've always wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Well, I think when they retire they kind of want to
not do anything for a while.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
You know I tried that .
Let me just tell you, I wouldhave been.
I would be in jail, I would bepoor in jail, jail or dead, if I
stayed retired.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I and listen.
You had a, you had a littlebreak.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
I took a little a six month break.
I took a little break, but I'mgoing to tell you and listen.
You, do you, if you, somepeople do, retirement really
really well, yeah, but isn't?
Speaker 2 (46:29):
that a huge accomplishment to make it there
and retire.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
It is huge.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
I'm like they're having a retirement party on
Thursday and then she's going tohave a new grandbaby, like any
day.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Well, see, that's going to keep her busy and there
is a decompression time.
Speaker 2 (46:48):
We talked to her the other day and she's like we were
joking and we're like are youjust goofing off?
Now she's like, no, I'm tryingto finish up this stuff.
I'm like I would have been likeI have been here for X number
of years.
I ain't doing shit.
This last week Y'all need togive me a party and I ain't
doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
My restaurants were under contract for like five
months.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yeah, because they were like we have things planned
.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
We have.
Yeah, the owner that bought myrestaurants went to Europe every
month for a week and they hadalready planned out like five
months of European trips andthey were going to have to
postpone that for a minute, youknow, when they bought my stores
.
So they were like, well, can wego under contract and you
(47:37):
operate them for five months?
Well, I was making a ton ofmoney.
I was like hells, yeah.
But let me tell you, youtalking about autopilot, yeah,
do you?
Speaker 2 (47:48):
you probably didn't show up, but once a month for
five months customer complaint.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
I don't give a damn.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I can't imagine staying at ajob like no one, especially
retirement.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
I mean, it's not like she needs a I had to care about
certain things, you know,because it affected your money.
But the other stuff, no, Iwouldn't be good but working for
someone in retirement is shesad at all?
I don't think so not like notattached to any of the people.
I don't think so.
I mean, would you be?
(48:21):
You know, I don't know how I, Iit, my, my mind works so
different.
Yeah, um, I don't.
I was like sad.
I was sad after the fact, butit was so different.
Mcdonald's was like a cult, andnot in a bad way, it was just a
(48:44):
way of life for 30 years for me, and I guess everybody's job's
like that.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, you're dedicated to it.
You show up, you go there everyday and then you just wake up
and don't, and you just don't,and you just don't.
And you've survived and gottento retire and they had three
boys boys, which reminds me of afunny story.
Oh god, I need to ask them all.
All of daniel's family listensand we're gonna get disowned.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
I don't know well I mean, you're the one I listen.
I ain't saying nothing, but I,bobby and terry, I think y'all
should do something.
Maybe come out here and helpdaniel on flower farm.
Yeah, come on out.
What's something you've alwayswanted to do.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
I know, but one time I'm not going to name which
brother.
This is a funny story.
I'm going to get in trouble.
I'm going to tell it anyway Onetime.
One of the brother.
I'm going to have to get thefull details.
I'm going to ask, but one ofthe brothers, one of the three
(49:52):
kids, their room connected tolike the attic, I think, is how
this went.
I don't know if it connected ormaybe they had like they have
like a bonus room that wasoutside of the room.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
Anyway, one of the kids went into the attic late
one night to take a little puffypuff on some grass Weed.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
Weed Marijuana and fell through the ceiling in
their master bedroom.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
I don't know if they landed in the bed or just feet
went through.
Listen, I know two.
I know Daniel and I know one ofhis brothers I don't know the
youngest.
I'm not naming which one and Ican say the two brothers that I
know it's a damn toss up.
It could have been either.
It could have been either one.
What I would pay for is I wouldpay for a video of that
(50:46):
happening.
Speaker 2 (50:46):
Can you imagine sleeping in bed?
I'm going to have to ask thefull story.
I need the whole story, and youknow which one you are.
I'm going to see him this week.
I'm going to ask about it.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
I wonder, like when that happened, do you have like
joint in hand?
Can you smell?
Speaker 2 (51:08):
Don't you think maybe it had already kind of kicked
in and that's lost a littlebalance and that's why you fell
through the?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
ceiling.
That is so something that wouldhave happened to me Trying to
sneak around.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
See, that's why.
Speaker 1 (51:20):
I didn't do shit like that.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
I think there was a window in the attic or something
.
So they were trying to, likeyou know, walk across and then
blow it out.
Blow it out the the window see,I didn't do.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
I did not do that in high school because I was so
scared of my parents, um, but Iwish I had, if I could.
No, if I could turn if I couldturn back time, I would have.
Now I drank enough beer tofloat a battleship, yeah, and
liquor, and I mean I had fun,especially in high school
(51:58):
because it was really easy.
And yeah, especially back inyour day, yeah, it was different
, it's more relaxed, it wasdifferent.
But you know, drugs things weresafer then, yeah.
So if I could go back, I wouldhave totally been a pothead.
Speaker 2 (52:17):
No, you wouldn't.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah, I mean yeah.
In fact, if I do retire, if Iever do get to the point where I
say I really want to be retiredand I don't have to do anything
all day long, I'm going to be apothead, maybe that's their
plan.
Maybe Terry and Bobby are goingto be like burnouts.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
Maybe that would be funny, that would be funny like
burnouts.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
Maybe that would be funny.
That would be funny.
They're really buttoned upacademic professional types.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
That's what makes it even funnier about one of their
kids falling through smokingweed is.
They're very professional andbuttoned up.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
I promise you they weren't dropping through
ceilings.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
I promise you they did not respond well to that I'm
going to have that aspect, butcongratulations for retiring and
surviving three grown kids now.
And you know all of thatbecause, oh my goodness, that
needs to be.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
I feel like when it comes out which brother it was,
I think we need to talk about iton this.
I think we need to call him andtalk about it on this podcast.
Like how did this happen?
Speaker 2 (53:29):
But yeah, I may have to just get the details though,
because he may not want to know.
You know, professionally andstuff.
Speaker 1 (53:36):
I mean it's 2025.
Everybody has a past.
Come on.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
Oh my gosh, I just can't imagine.
You know you think you'resneaking around, going to take a
little puff or two and thencrash through the ceiling on
your parents, you know, abovetheir bed.
I would have jumped out theattic window, that would have
done it, that's what I wouldhave done.
Speaker 1 (54:03):
So a friend of mine had a worker over and it was a
McDonald's owner and he had aworker that we both used and the
worker was telling me aboutthis and if you knew this owner.
(54:29):
Picture me times a thousand.
This is how buttoned up and inanal, this mcdonald's owner was
very persnickety man.
The guy was working upstairsand he just crashed through the
ceiling and and and my friendwas sitting in his chair and he
looked at me.
He was like hello, and I waslike that is all he said.
It's like yeah.
He just looked up and said well, hello.
He didn't like oh my gosh,because I would have been like
(54:50):
what?
Yeah, no, he's like well, hello, I.
And I.
I can't imagine that terry andbobby were like well, hello, no,
I'm sure they're.
Like we're're going to kill you.
I would have.
I know what a mess I know.
And I would have probably had aheart attack.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
That too, I'm going to get the scoop.
We're going to have to do afollow up.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Definitely they're probably going to be like never
mention us again.
When is Terry's last?
Speaker 2 (55:20):
official day.
Today, April 1st, In retirementparty on April 3rd Thursday.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
That is really exciting, isn't it?
I mean, it really is a hugeaccomplishment.
That is, I remember when my momretired and I went to her
retirement party and I was like,I mean, I don't think.
I really thought about it.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
So my dad's still working, he's in his mid-70s.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Well, you know, both of us will still be working.
Yeah, my dad's not that side ofmy family.
Speaker 2 (55:52):
They work, work, work .
I will be up in the middle ofsomething I don't know, probably
still trying to do a damn livesale or something.

years old.

Where's it going?
You know we keep moving thingsforward and it's like where,
(56:41):
where, when, where?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
I mean I don't know, I guess at the graveyard, you
know, I mean because where doesit?
Speaker 2 (56:49):
or does someone offer us a lot of money and we sell
it, and then it wouldn't take?
Speaker 1 (56:53):
much I mean.
Speaker 2 (56:59):
I'm just saying I I mean there Because our
personalities are to keepworking.
But then, like when we go tothe vacation house and we're in
Florida, I'm like I don't know,I could get used to this.
Speaker 1 (57:13):
And then I'm like, oh , I yeah, I mean it was nice
being in Florida and I lovegoing to Hawaii and stuff like
that.

me.
