I don't like going in TJ Maxx.
You don't?
Not anymore.
Well it was just garbage.
Hustle and butt.
People just irritate me.
I guess maybe I'm just old.
And and we work a lot.
I'm not in the mood for.
SPEAKER_01 (03:53):
No, it is certain days when I go out in the wild
is what Daniel and I call it.
Because you know, he's on thefarm a lot.
And then he'll be like, oh mygosh, I had to go do all these
things on the same day.
And he's like, Oh, go out in thewild.
And it's, you know, it's likegoing to the window.
It's overstimulating becausewe're not out like that a lot.
(04:16):
And I mean, most of my days isI'm at home on the farm doing
whatever I want on Instagram,which I love because it's
one-sided, and then we're hereand we're doing live sales or
working or whatever.
We're not out.
And so some days when you go outlike that, it is very
overstimulating.
And it's like, back up off me,people.
(04:38):
And something that was weird.
SPEAKER_00 (04:41):
It was weird.
It was weird.
What happened?
The cashier waiting on me waslike, I don't know, teenage, uh
maybe early 20s.
SPEAKER_01 (04:56):
Yeah.
She didn't have a bra.
No bra?
No bra.
At the TJ Maxx counter?
SPEAKER_00 (05:04):
Yeah.
It just stunned me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01 (05:10):
I was like, hello.
SPEAKER_00 (05:13):

SPEAKER_01 (05:17):
You should have told her.
I was like, why?
SPEAKER_00 (05:23):
Why?
She was cute.
Yeah.
She was well dressed.
She said on that bra.
And listen, I don't want to getwear a bra, I don't wear bra.
I don't, I really don't give ashit.
But it just shocked me at work.
Right.
Where you're like wearing anundergarment.
SPEAKER_01 (05:43):
Yeah, where you're at the counter, you're bending,
you're lifting, you'restretching, you're yeah, I
thought.
Well, at least she was youngenough they were.
SPEAKER_00 (05:51):
I mean, I guess it just shocked me.
It just shocked me.
SPEAKER_01 (05:59):
Well.
What are your plans for theholiday season?
Do you have anything coming up?
SPEAKER_00 (06:05):
Um my plan is to survive.
Survive.
No, I don't have anything majorcoming up.
Um we have there's a customer,uh a good, a very good customer
that's having a Christmas party.
I'm gonna try again.
(06:26):
Gina, that's a major commitmentfor us.
And it's not that we're rude orwe don't want to go to your
party and we're we're notscrooges.
We really would really be niceto do things like that.
It's just impossible.
Almost impossible with ourschedule.
So, other than that, um Youknow, I've got to squeeze in
(06:49):
some design client stuff.
I mean, some makeup.
All the year-in stuff and work.
SPEAKER_01 (06:54):
I mean, we gotta empty out the warehouse and
empty out the retail stores.
What about your Thanksgiving?
Was it good?
We didn't even talk about it.
It was good.
I mean, um no fights, any familydrama?
SPEAKER_00 (07:06):
No, Dylan's we go to Dylan's family for Thanksgiving,
and they're really low-key.
Yeah, they're not real dramaticor anything.
SPEAKER_01 (07:15):
We were at home because Daniel's family went to
Indiana to Zance House.
I talked about that on the lastone.
So where's was very low-key.
I heated up.
I said, I made you Thanksgivingdinner, but it was all frozen,
heated up.
It was free.
It was good.
I used the kitchen, as you wouldsay.
No, we use our kitchen, but um,yeah, it was all heated.
(07:39):
I didn't even make any of it,like I intended to, but then it
got to the last minute, and Iwas like, I don't have time to
do this.
So at least Daniel was thankfulthough.
It wasn't microwave.
It was something to eat.
Yeah, it was fun.
We had hash brown casserole, macand cheese, green bean
casserole.
(08:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:01):
Was the green bean casserole good?
SPEAKER_01 (08:03):
It was this time from Whole Foods.
Whole Foods.
It wasn't French green beans, soI did notice.
SPEAKER_00 (08:10):
Whole Foods usually gets it right, but those French
green beans make a difference inyour green food.
SPEAKER_01 (08:14):
What else did we have?
I did buy him a little turkeysomething, something I don't
know.
SPEAKER_00 (08:20):
Dylan's aunt.
Oh, you would have loved this.
I need to I need to try to makeone sometime.
This I don't, it's probably nota good, because I've never made
a cake from scratch.
Ever.
You haven't?
Ever.
Not from scratch.
Um, but his aunt's a baker.
She used to own a bakery.
(08:42):
Um oh my gosh.
So good.
You would have loved it.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
It was ten layers.
See, that's where it goes wrong.
Was it the thin layers though?
The really thin.
It was so good.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
And it was homemade caramel cake.
SPEAKER_01 (09:00):
Mmm, that's a good I can't tell you.
Are you sure she didn't buythat?
You know, there's a famous onewhere it comes and it's all
those layers.
She owned a bakery.
She always no, she made you onthe McDonald's.
You ain't making no damn BigMac.
No, she made it.
No.
SPEAKER_00 (09:14):
She she she's a she bakes her stuff.
Like she does.
Yeah.
And she was like, well, I hadtwo more layers, but they didn't
work, so we're going with 10.
You know, so 12.
But it was so good.
Those layers, all those layers,make the best cake.
Makes it so just like moist andall that goody goody all up in
(09:37):
there.
Yeah.
But damn, that must takeforever.
She said it took hours.
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
Because does she make it and then slice them?
Is that how they're done?
Are they real thin?
SPEAKER_00 (09:47):
She makes she baked real thin layers.
Because you know it's not thesame if you slice it.
Slice it.
Yeah.
Because you're getting thatlittle crust on each layer.
SPEAKER_01 (09:59):
It was really good.
That sounds good.
We had our pecan pie from thejar.
Is what we had that too.
It was so good.
It was good.
We ate like a pie and a half inthe first day, and then Daniel
just finished all the rest ofit.
I think we've got to be a goodone.
We finished ours off last night.
I was like, I can't have anymore, you can have the rest of
(10:21):
it.
Good to go.
SPEAKER_00 (10:22):
I only Dylan and I only ate one complete pie.
Only one.
One.
We did give share one.
So that was good that we didn'tgolf two.
SPEAKER_01 (10:38):
Oh, something to talk about.
We had a tragedy on the farm.
Oh, you're going to talk aboutit.
Yeah.
You can't whisper.
SPEAKER_00 (10:46):
You're whispering today.
Am I whispering?
I don't mean to be.
You're whispering today likethis, and ain't nobody gonna
hear me.
SPEAKER_01 (10:54):
They can't hear me.
A damn thing you say is gonnacut it out.
Okay.
It's gonna be me talking tomyself.
SPEAKER_00 (11:00):
Well, it's like that a lot.
He's whispering.
I don't have a real strong.
SPEAKER_01 (11:08):
No, but you like to whisper sometimes.
I do.
I do.
We're gonna tell that.
I think we need to tell thetragedy.
Well, I mean, it happens.
It happens.
You know.
So we've talked about on herehow Romeo is hormonal and
feisty, especially after, youknow, the baby's been born.
(11:29):
After fathering his first child.
And Cleo and Milo, they have tostay separated.
We talked about that, and I gota bunch of shit on online.
Why aren't they together?
You don't know what you'retalking about.
Why are they separated?
Why?
SPEAKER_00 (11:44):
There's a reason you don't have a Romeo.
You know, the Romeo.
SPEAKER_01 (11:49):
Well.
Romeo killed a goat.
That's yeah.
He was And they're the they werethe sweetest little goats.
I don't know.
But you know, we've talked abouthe will get mad.
Um well he's almost killed themlike twice when I've been there.
Yeah, he will get mad and he'llpick them up by the back of
(12:11):
their necks.
You know, these goats and stuff.
But I don't know, one day umthis past week, he was just in a
mood, like hollering constantly.
You know, y'all, if you followme on social media, you'll see
I'll walk outside and he'llholler at me and use and that's
usually more playful, but he'sbeen very aggressive.
Even towards me, like when I goto feed him, instead of coming
(12:35):
up and like letting me like loveon him or like Romeo, give me a
hug.
He's like kicking and bucking,and he'll run off from me.
And it's it's a hole.
He is, I don't know, maybe Ineed to kick him in the balls or
something.
I don't know what his problemis.
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
I think I think the balls are getting ready to go
bye-bye.
SPEAKER_01 (12:52):
Yeah, we're gonna have to get him snippity snip,
get him in a better mood.
So anyway, so I went out and hehad killed a goat.
So there's this that is thereason he's not around Milo.
Yeah.
Because he he took it out on thegoat, I guess.
Um and then he hurt another one,but it I think it's gonna be
(13:16):
fine.
It's kind of limping around, butit it just seems a little beat
up.
I think it's gonna be fine.
It didn't.
Do you think it was trying toprotect the other goat or I
don't know, or if he got thatone fur.
I don't know.
I don't know.
And the thing is, it wasn't likeI saw it to prevent it.
You know, like it what and hehadn't been, he's been like
(13:37):
hollering, but he has not beenaggressive towards the goats in
any way that I've sh would havebeen like, oh my gosh, I need to
do this.
SPEAKER_00 (13:45):
But he did that day.
Well, I can tell you who hewon't kill and that's those
birds, those emus.
They'll beat the shit out ofhim.
If I look out and he's got anemu by the neck, that's gonna be
a whole different thing.
SPEAKER_01 (14:00):
They will beat the shit out of him.
Um so the one goat is kinda beatup, and I've got it separated.
I put it in with Milo and Cleo.
Because I mean they'll be finetogether, but is it doing it
better?
Yeah.
It's eating and everything.
So which one was it?
(14:20):
Black or what?
The white, one of the whiteones.
He got one of each color.
He was kicking ass and takingnames again, taking names and
kicking ass.
I don't know what his problemwas.
Um, but then the cat, Mr.
Kitty, he has stayed in placeand he's much better.
We talked, I think we talkedabout that.
He had a bum leg after his lastvacation when he traveled.
(14:44):
But he has this time, becausehis leg was bummed, he had moved
in with Cleo and Milo in theirlittle shed barn, because I have
hay and everything down inthere.
And he has just stayed out thereand he's been staying out there
ever since.
And now, I think I've told thison a live or whatever, but now
(15:05):
I've been feeding that cat everytime I go feed them out there.
So he's like staying out there.
So hopefully he'll He's gonnalive out there.
Hopefully he'll live out thereand be friends with them.
And do they seem to like him?
Yeah, like the first couple oftimes, like I would feed him,
like both of them at the sametime, and they I feed them in
the little shed, so they're likeface to face basically.
(15:28):
He would kind of hiss, but thenthe last couple of days, you
know, like Milo will go sniffhim or Cleo, and he just turns
around and then goes back toeating.
So hey Roomies.
Hey Roomies, they all gonna haveto just get along.
Because it has the hay, and youcan see where he makes a bed,
and then he also like goes underthe like barn and sleeps under
(15:52):
there too.
I don't know.
It's a fine ecosystem out thereon the farm.
Because then one of our cats,the cutest cat that also stays
like, well, it stays everywhere,but this time of year she likes
to come in.
Rosie, she'll come in at nightand sleep on the sofa.
We don't have a litter box orindoor caps or anything, but
(16:13):
she'll sleep on the sofa andthen at like six or seven in the
morning, she's and goes outside.
Um, but she is the sweetest one,but she beats up on this Mr.
Kitty.
Like if he comes up near thehouse, so it's uh there's always
a cat screaming, a donkeyyelling, a goat something.
SPEAKER_00 (16:36):
Well, I feel like it may be time.
Um so I messed up and there Ididn't get you at some more
emus.
Oh.
I they were um I didn't realizethat they were I guess they came
(16:57):
came in early.
This year?
Yeah.
And I'm I missed them.
Oh.
I think that's the case.
I think that's the case.
I remember the emo conversation.
But uh we need more emus.
That was probably last year youhad that conversation.
We need we need more emus outthere.
I love them.
They're easy.
(17:17):
Yeah, I love the emus.
They're different, they'refriendly.
I mean, the next ones may beatthe shit out of all of them.
Right.
Because they can be a littlecantankerous.
SPEAKER_01 (17:32):
I think an ostrich or two to go with that would be
fun out there.
I do love the emus even morethan I thought I would having
them.
Because, like you said, they arevery self-sufficient there.
And they just do their ownthing.
(17:52):
I mean, the only problem is Ifeel like with the emus is I
mean, hopefully they just staygood.
Like, I don't know of a vet ifthere was an issue.
Like mine have been nomaintenance, but I don't know
like if there's an issue, whatthe heck you do with the emo.
You know what I'm saying?
(18:13):
I don't know where I come from.
They don't do nothing.
That's my thing.
See, I just and that's the thingwith the goats and the donkey.
I mean, I've taken the goat tothe bed.
The one that's beat up is thesame one that had the like
kidney problems last year.
But it's funny having theanimals is multiple times a day,
(18:37):
I'm like, okay, where iseverybody?
Where is everybody?
Like, I walk out on the porch,I'm like, okay, I see all four
goats, donkeys, the email.
Like, I the good thing is I cansee them from my porch, all the
animals, and I'll be like,Where, where are they?
Where are they?
And it's constantly on yourmind.
But like this goat, I was like,I fed them and I was like, Oh,
(19:01):
one of the goats isn't here orwhatever.
But sometimes that's fine.
Like sometimes it'll stay in oneof the little houses or under
the dock or whatever.
And so one day, the first day Iwas like, okay, I don't see the
goat.
And then when I left, I saw itunder like the dock.
So I was like, oh, it's justhanging out under there.
And that was the night.
And then the next day when I fedhim, the goat didn't come up.
(19:24):
And I was like, okay,something's up with this goat.
Let me go check on this goatdown here.
SPEAKER_00 (19:29):
Um well, and I guess I'm a little shocked that Romeo
killed the goat because, like,if the goat had gotten out,
Romeo, that's when he usuallygets really mad at the mammals.
Because he he is in charge ofthe guardian of the pasture.
(19:52):
So if they get out, they breakthe rules, he's mad.
SPEAKER_01 (19:57):
He's mad.
Yeah, so I don't know what hadhim so stirred up.
I mean, I think it's beingseparated from Cleo.
There's probably some hormonesand scents and stuff that has
him fired up.
It's the only thing I can thinkof.
And I don't know if he, youknow, did it intentionally to
kill the goat, but maybe justgot too excited.
SPEAKER_00 (20:20):
He was mad.
SPEAKER_01 (20:21):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (20:22):
I mean, when he gets mad, he is mad.
Yeah.
I've never quite seen I've neverseen a donkey act like that.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (20:35):
So, oh Romeo, he's in trouble, but I ain't gonna
talk about it except for onhere, because you know it
doesn't be a whole thing.
SPEAKER_00 (20:44):
Oh yeah.
People have their, well, heneeds to be, no, he doesn't need
to be, he needs to be rightwhere he is.
He really may need to beseparated for a minute from all
of them, from all the animals.
SPEAKER_01 (20:57):
Yeah, but that makes it so much worse.
Because I've done that.
Um, I had to separate them lastyear for something, and it makes
it so much worse reintroducingthem all back together.
It's a whole like process.
So it fires them up even more.
(21:17):
Because I had to I can'tremember, I had to separate him
for like a couple of weeks.
Um last year, but anyway.
SPEAKER_00 (21:25):
But usually, you know, when he uh when he like
beats a goat, you can stop it.
Yeah, and then he's he coolsdown and he's fine.
SPEAKER_01 (21:33):
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, that's that's the dramawith Romeo.
SPEAKER_00 (21:41):
Let's move on to something bright and cheerful.
Yeah, let's the dead goat'sdead.
Yeah.
That's all the news there.
That's the news there.
So this clickbait and or thesepeople do it on on Instagram
(22:01):
blows my mind.
Like it's so irritating to me.
Yes.
Like, I'm gonna make a pie.
SPEAKER_01 (22:08):
You were just showing me one of this pie, and
oh my gosh.
I think they just do it asclickbait to get people to
comment on why are you doing itlike that?
SPEAKER_00 (22:19):
Yeah, and then that, you know, boosts them.
Or do they think they're reallyshowing how easy it is?
Like, put the shit in a bowl.
SPEAKER_01 (22:26):
So they these people, Steven was just showing
me this reel, and they werelady, two ladies or whatever,
making a pie, but they weremaking it in the pie crust.
So it was like pouring theingredients into the pie crust
and mixing it in the pie crust.
And you really can't mixanything like that.
(22:47):
Yeah.
Because then you're I mean, ityou're splashing around.
Damn mess.
SPEAKER_00 (22:52):
Then the idiots forgot that it was it was a that
had to be baked.
SPEAKER_01 (22:58):
It was a pie that had to be baked, a pie shell.
So it wasn't like a grahamcracker, which is what they
should have been using anyway,for the type of pie they were
making.
I think that was just a wholedamn clickbait mess.
But that one woman doesn't a loton Instagram.
But what's the point in doing itthat way?
Because then those aren't truelike views.
(23:20):
Like, what's the point increating clickbait when it's
something false anyway?
You know what I'm saying?
It just doesn't because thenthose people aren't gonna follow
for the right reason.
They're not gonna be interestedin your real content.
SPEAKER_00 (23:33):
Oh, the other thing that I'm seeing this week, which
is driving me crazy.
I haven't been able to see much.
That's what this is a good one.
Oh, do tell.
Everybody's washing their tree.
SPEAKER_01 (23:47):
Oh my gosh.
Yes, I have seen that.
Just doesn't work.
It then all needs to betogether.
It's a damn mess.
It's been out in the damn rainuntil they cut it.
And you're not saving it at all.
(24:10):
But they act like you're washingsomething out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (24:14):
Yeah, and you're it's gonna be fresh more fresh
long.
SPEAKER_01 (24:18):
Yes.
No, it's not.
Why are we in the era ofovercomplicating things?
Cut your damn tree and drag itin like you've done for the
last.
SPEAKER_00 (24:27):
The best thing you can do is shave it off of that,
off of the cut and get it inwater.
Yeah.
Keep it watered.
But why are we washing the treewith the hose?
unknown (24:41):
Shh.
SPEAKER_01 (24:43):
And then you're gonna make when you because it's
getting out the extra dirt andstuff.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
I'm like, what the hell are you talking about?
Give it a shake and go.
Yeah, and most farms put it on ashaker and they're shaking all
the loose out in it.
And when it dries, it's gonnahave all the loose in it anyway.
I would I would love to put asquirrel in one of those trees.
SPEAKER_01 (25:07):
And if it has like insects or something, you're not
washing those out by justsprinkling them.
No.
They're in there, they'reattached.
They are ready to go through thethunderstorm.
SPEAKER_00 (25:17):
There are insects that you can have on your tree.
Um, not to alarm anybody, butthis does happen.
There are certain insects thatlive in like Fraser Furs, for
example.
Or you can get like a um oh mygosh.
SPEAKER_01 (25:39):
Praying mantis pod in there.
This is what you call it, nestpod.
It's like a thing, and then theyall hatch and they come out on
the sea.
In the house.
Yeah.
So I mean, that's a risk ofgetting a real tree, but washing
it, you're not gonna get rid ofthat.
SPEAKER_00 (25:54):
It's only it's attached.
And honestly, unless you reallyknow what you're looking for,
you're not gonna know if there'sinsect sacks in there because
they, you know, it nature makesthem hard to notice.
Right.
So they don't get eaten.
(26:15):
Right.
You're not gonna see it.
You're not gonna know you have aproblem until you have a house
full of bugs.
Exactly.
Prey and mantis.
SPEAKER_01 (26:25):
I saw that though, on I've seen that a few times on
social.
And first of all, like it'ssomething.
Oh, we're gonna wash our tree.
Just shut the hell up.
It's right up there with washingpumpkins.
Get off my screen.
Yeah, just get the hell off.
SPEAKER_00 (26:39):
Yeah, and they stand out there like they're doing it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:42):
Oh, I love the ones that wash it, and then they get
their blower to just have youseen that?
They get their yard leaf blowerto dry it off.
I've seen a couple do it thatway.
SPEAKER_00 (27:02):
I mean, they are really stretching for content.
We're gonna we're gonna showerthe tree down and then these
cookies are so good.
They are so good.
SPEAKER_01 (27:13):
I know.
Um if you're not watching, youcan't tell that I'm just eating
downing a whole bag of cookieswhile we're seeing tart, lemon
tart, fancy pants, available atthnestedtig.com.
Little plug.
Yeah, they're um acting likethey're doing something in their
washroom.
But why are we washingeverything?
Washing that, washing thepumpkins.
Ain't nobody worried about slingthat tree up and be done.
SPEAKER_00 (27:37):
Yeah.
But I'm a little I've alwaysloved live trees.
And there's one tree, one styleof a tree that I really like.
Wait.
SPEAKER_01 (27:49):
Now that you say that, didn't we?
I feel like we had a live treein our house the first year.
You did?
I did.
Two.
But no.
Yes.
Where did I have the second one?
SPEAKER_00 (28:03):
I didn't do one on each side.
Not there.
You had two.
No.
I think they were on each sideof the fireplace or something.
You limbed them.
SPEAKER_01 (28:14):
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Because I thought I'd had ourold tree.
First year you did those.
Fresh trees.
Yeah.
I gotta put it up so early now.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (28:27):
Well, we can't for me.
We can't.
And the trees, the real treesthat I like come from way up,
like in boon.
SPEAKER_01 (28:37):
The real trees that you like that are airy and
stuff, they now have them atLowe's.
They did last year.
SPEAKER_02 (28:44):
Do they?
SPEAKER_01 (28:45):
It's like the top where they're like really spaced
out.
You should get one and just putlike my ride coat ornaments.
Yeah.
Wouldn't that be pretty?
Mm-hmm.
In the entry.
SPEAKER_00 (28:55):
I'm sure I would drag one in with all kinds of
bugs.
Well, those you could see itbecause they're so thin.
SPEAKER_01 (29:01):
You can.
You could see it better.
Um no hell.
You'd get up.
He would get a drop of sap onthose beautifully polished
concrete floors, and that treewould be out in the hallway.
You should just put one in thehallway beside your door.
SPEAKER_00 (29:18):
People are like, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm putting up a tree.
Yeah.
I don't I don't want it in myhouse.
Let's talk about that.
Okay.
What, your floors or trees?
No, let's talk about people'swreaths.
Oh my god.
(29:38):
We've talked about people's.
Okay, but I'm gonna tell youthis is a public service.
SPEAKER_01 (29:43):
And not pour as and poor, but poor, like all pitiful
wreaths.
SPEAKER_00 (29:50):
Reeds are not meant to last forever.
They're not.
Yeah.
So the one you've been pullingout for the last 20 years.
Get rid of It you might think,oh, it looks good and it's held
up.
It hasn't.
It looks like shit.
I've got a neighbor, and I kidyou not, they have a uh and they
(30:16):
are far from poor.
I think you've talked about thisneighbor before on here.
They have a cotton wreath.
Yep, you've talked about thecotton wreath.
It looks like it.
SPEAKER_01 (30:27):
It must be look like shit because it's stuck in your
brain.
SPEAKER_00 (30:30):
It's just it looks like I ran over it about eight
times.
SPEAKER_01 (30:34):
Can you get us pictures?
Yes, I can take some pictures.
We need some photos of theirwreaths.
SPEAKER_00 (30:41):
You would not, and I see them year after year after
year of the same one.
Same damn one.
They try to fix that bow.
SPEAKER_01 (30:54):
This is massive.
SPEAKER_00 (30:55):
And it's just like that bow gave up eight years
ago.
And so don't do it.
Don't.
I would rather put a plain, Iwould rather see a bow.
Or a plain fresh wreath.
Yeah.
Nothing on it.
Mm-hmm.
Then hang your faded out bluelooking shit on your door.
(31:21):
And you're really hurting theway your home presents.
SPEAKER_01 (31:26):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (31:27):
And especially if you're like have it for sale in
the holidays and you're puttingthat old tired shit out.
SPEAKER_01 (31:34):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (31:34):
Just stop.
SPEAKER_01 (31:35):
Like, don't do it.
Everyone, check your wreathswhen you get home today.
And we have.
If you're at home right now, goout, go look at them and give
them a good like, mmm, yep,Sharon.
SPEAKER_00 (31:49):
I need to replace my and most of those, most of those
reads you get, like from evenyour boutiques and your uh your
garden centers, they are theyare not UV protected.
So they're gonna turn blue onyou over time.
Over time.
SPEAKER_01 (32:08):
You're probably gonna get, I would say on
average, two to three years.
See if you're using it seasonal.
So like a Christmas wreath,you're probably gonna get two or
three Christmas seasons out of awreath.
If you've had it longer thanthat, you probably need to give
it a double.
SPEAKER_00 (32:23):
And at my old house, you know, I had them for the
windows and the door, and I paida lot.
They were good quality, butafter a few years, I was like,
we gotta do something with this.
Yeah.
I like these as a base, but youand I put all new stems into it.
Yeah, and it looked like a newwreath.
It was practically a new wreath.
(32:43):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you don't have to recreateit.
You can use that as a base andadd fresh stems to it.
Yeah, you're probably it'sprobably cheaper to just buy
new.
It is.
It would be for sure.
It would be, but God.
I just don't get it.
SPEAKER_01 (32:59):
Well, I got this and it's still good.
It's still good.
I mean, I You can only mashthose things down.
You know, you throw them in yourtrash bags, mash them down, hang
them up in the attic.
My grandparents, I can rememberwhere they hung in the attic.
SPEAKER_00 (33:16):
Like they put a trash bag on the rafters.
Yes.
It would be hanging there.
I bet you I they were veryfrugal.
They were wonderful people thatbut they were very frugal.
Uh-huh.
I bet you that wreath was 30years old.
Oh god.
(33:37):
Oh, it was bad.
Crunchy plastic.
Very fragile.
That thing had fallen off, itwould have busted it by like
glass.
Yeah.
Because it's just so dried out.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (33:51):
Oh my gosh.
That is crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (33:54):
But you know, I love it that like my country, my more
country grandparents, they neverbought new.
Yeah.
Anything.
Anything.
Unless it was broken.
But they had the decorationsthat were like really cool.
Like the from like the 50s and60s.
SPEAKER_01 (34:17):
Because they never bought new ones.
They were so retro.
Yeah.
Big light bulbs.
The big ones that would justburn the shit out of you.
SPEAKER_00 (34:25):
And the Santas, you know, the like your mom loves.
The blow mold, Santa.
I mean, that cool stuff.
You can't find it.
No.
And you know, I adored mygrandparents.
I was the favorite grandchild.
Of course.
I was.
I know.
But me too.
(34:47):
The truth is the truth.
And I adored my grandparents.
So when my grandmother passedaway, I think what, like 14
years ago.
Didn't she die 14?
No.
No, my dad's mom.
Oh, has it been that long?
Yeah.
Was I mean my mom's been gonealmost six years?
(35:08):
Dang, that is crazy.
No, almost seven.
Yeah.
So yeah.
So when my grandmother passed,she had all of this Christmas
stuff that I loved.
And, you know, I was soemotional about everything.
I was like, just no one can havethat.
Right.
(35:29):
I was like, so seriously, I hadto tell my cousins, okay, do you
want this?
If you're not taking it, I'mkeeping it.
Yeah.
You're the only person, otherperson like I told my cousin
Susan, I was like, you're theonly person that can have this.
SPEAKER_02 (35:45):
That's funny.
SPEAKER_00 (35:46):
If you if you don't take it, I'm keeping it.
It was terrible.
I was so that's how I was.
That's how you are.
It is.
That only child.
And after time has gone by, youknow, because I had all of my
grandmother's quilts andeverything.
So I said, okay, would you likea few of these?
SPEAKER_01 (36:11):
Oh, so you started handing out a few things?
Yeah.
Well, it's like uh uh you do.
I with my grandparents' stuff.
Uh-huh.
Um when Steven moved, Stephenmoved to his place where he
lives now, Condo.
Ten years ago.
And Daniel and I moved to thefarmhouse the exact same time.
(36:31):
In the exact same week.
We moved a week earlier becausewe stole the moving people.
They were booked, so he had towait a week.
Remember that?
Uh-huh.
Um but and it just happened thatway.
I don't know how we both look.
Yeah.
We just both happened to bemoving at the same time.
Well, he had all these things inhis house that he gave me, but I
(36:54):
can never do anything with them.
You can never get rid of them.
SPEAKER_00 (36:58):
Certain things I'm like, you can, but I want it if
you're not going to be able todo it.
If you're getting rid of it, Iwant it back.
God, and you know, I had agrandmother that was like that.
And I'm like, what the hell?
All these stipulations.
You can have it, but if you getrid of it, I want it, which I
guess is fine.
I mean.
SPEAKER_01 (37:17):
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'll give it back if I want it.
I don't know.
You just won't control.
It's still your it's still yoursif you want to come.
Come get any of it.
I don't even remember what itwas like.
Oh my creamware.
SPEAKER_00 (37:33):
All my creamware.
SPEAKER_01 (37:34):
Yeah, I have that.
But that is nice.
And then your what was yourdining table.
Which you use it as a desk.
I use it as a desk.
That's a great piece.
It is a great piece.
Looks very fun European.
Yeah, it was from It's English.
Then there was, I guess youwould call a quilt chest.
Blanket chest.
Blanket chest.
(37:55):
And then there was a um chest.
I did move that out to the farmmarket.
Did you notice?
I noticed.
We're about to have Daniel onabout the farm market.
We announced it on Instagram,but it's not open until
February, until Valentine's Dayor whatever.
But that piece is so big.
I don't know where you have,like, I just don't have a place
(38:17):
for it.
I've moved it around severaltimes.
And I've had it in our bathroomin the laundry area, but you
know, I can't have straightwalls.
Like you can't have flat floors.
It's a thing with Buzz.
Because my house has these just,you know, all these angles.
So my laundry room.
Have you ever seen a house withso many angles?
(38:37):
No, no.
So my laundry room, our laundryroom has where it would fit
perfect, but it's an angledwall.
Like it's kind of like part of abay window, but not, I don't
know.
It's angled like that.
So it always stuck out too muchfor the dryer.
But it's been there for years.
And I'm like, every time I'mlike, I hate this piece of
furniture this year.
(38:57):
So I was like, we can use thisin the farm market.
We're not going to damage it.
It's such a great piece.
It is a great piece.
Daniel says, I was like, wecan't get rid of it.
It's Stevens.
He doesn't, I know he doesn'thave anywhere for it.
And he said I could have ituntil I didn't want it and then
he would take it back.
But I'm not going to give itback to him because I know he
(39:19):
doesn't need it.
But now I can't get rid of itbecause I'll feel bad.
SPEAKER_00 (39:22):
You know, it I'm going to be like, when if I ever
get my cabin, I'm going to belike, I need to have I need a
chest.
Just pig me out one.
And send it here.
I know.
I mean.
Yeah, certain things I'msentimental.
Certain things I'm not.
SPEAKER_01 (39:39):
Sentimental, and it's the only child part, too.
I have only child syndrome.
You do.
We'll get into that therapysession another day.
I picked on you about yourkitchen.
That's all though, again.
It's all.
That's what I'm saying.
It's the next step.
We'll talk about your only childproblems.
SPEAKER_00 (39:59):
Not problems.
You're gonna talk about yourbaby child problems.
SPEAKER_01 (40:07):
Do I have problems?
What would you talk to me aboutin a therapy session?
Just name the topic.
SPEAKER_00 (40:13):
Um for a major topic would probably be um your only
major personal flaw, I wouldsay.
On a serious note, for a majorflaw is um you cannot be
(40:34):
anywhere on time.
Like no matter what, like you'vemissed flights.
I mean, that's like I I'm late alot, but honestly, it's by
choice.
Mine is mine is choice because Ican be very timely.
(40:57):
Yeah.
Like if I have a realappointment, it's one thing when
it's me.
When it's my set appointment,I'll do, I'll get there when I
want.
But if it is, oh, I have adoctor's appointment or I have
an appointment interview, I'mthere.
Yeah.
And and it was you, I could holdmy AR-15 to your hand and say,
(41:25):
I'm if you don't get there, I'mgonna pull the trigger.
And yeah, I would have to pullthe trigger.
You can't, you can't, like it'snot.
SPEAKER_01 (41:34):
I wonder what that is.
I think it's a couple of things,though.
Um, now that we've started ourtheory session.
Yes, it's ADD.
It's I don't know.
I don't know.
I think a lot of it's ADD, butalso like our schedules are so
(41:57):
flexible.
You know what I'm saying?
I've gotten so used to that thatthat's made it even worse
because I'll be at home and I'llbe like, okay, I'm gonna meet
you here at this time.
And I have every intention.
It's not like I just make upthat time, and I have plenty of
time to make it.
But the ADD part kicks in, andbetween the 30 minutes of when I
(42:20):
should leave, I get involved insome kind of something else.
Well, you know, a lot ofpsychologists takes a whole
different thing.
SPEAKER_00 (42:28):
Have you ever read what psychologists say it means?
What do they say it means?
Psychologists will say that itmeans you're selfish, uh-huh,
you're self-centered, uh-huh,you do not respect other
people's time.
Uh-huh.
Um, basically, like if you readsome psychologists announced, it
(42:49):
means you're just a horribleperson.
Okay.
So I don't, I don't know.
I really accept that.
I don't, I really don't thinkit's that.
No, that's not a good thing.
More than ADD in an intentionalkind of way.
It is.
Because I'm ADD and we on aserious note, when you're ADD,
(43:10):
you are always, always, always,always trying to stuff a
thousand pounds of bullshit intoa 50-pound bag.
I mean, you're just, I can dothis that I can do this.
SPEAKER_01 (43:26):
There's so much things that I have to do to get
out of the house, too, that Idon't account for in my mind.
When I think, oh, I'm just gonnado this real quick.
Like I should be leaving, andthen I'm going to the car and
I'm like, oh, I gotta feed theanimals real quick.
Oh, I haven't been on Instagram.
Let me just record a story realquick.
And that's all that's 30minutes, you know, by the time I
(43:48):
do that.
And then it's like, oh, I'mlate.
SPEAKER_00 (43:51):
Well, and what I haven't accounted for, and I'm
trying to be more conscientiousof it, is for me to get out of
the condo and get down that's awhole five bars.
And and the little things likegetting out of the gate because
you have to sit there.
That slow ass thing wait on thegate to open.
(44:14):
See, I would have rammed throughthat gate already.
You know, before I never had to,I literally just ran out of the
house, took in the car, gone.
Yeah.
Well, I've got five to tenminutes of work just to getting
out onto the street.
Yeah.
That's so you know, you don'tthink about all those.
(44:35):
And you know, here's the otherproblem is, you know, because
I've always been on the boardand everyone knows me in the
building.
So I have a hundred and threeowners.
And then you see someone in thehallway.
And and just, you know, and andnot, I mean, listen, I like all
(44:56):
of the people there except fortwo.
Which that's an that's amiracle.
There's two that I cannot stand,and I wish they would go to a
home.
And um, so I like all thesepeople.
So you say, hey, hello, how areyou?
You run into the mailman.
Hello, how are you?
SPEAKER_01 (45:16):
You know, and then it could be a 15-minute process.
SPEAKER_00 (45:19):
But then if somebody has a problem because you're on
the board, they want to tell youabout it.
SPEAKER_01 (45:25):
And talk, and that's what you do.
So it's like Well, and that'slike mine, and see, also the
other thing that happens a lotis like Daniel, you know, he's
working there on the farm and hecan walk in at any time.
Like tonight, for example, hecame, like I was getting ready
to leave, gonna go feed theanimal, and he comes in, he's
like, Hey, do you have a fewminutes I need to film?
(45:47):
I need you to help me film areel that he needed someone to
record for him.
Well, then that was a whole30-minute process of whatever.
And no, I didn't mind doing it,but I'm just saying, and I knew
you didn't care what time I gothere.
But that's the things thathappen on the daily to make me
late.
So I don't know, it is a thing.
It is a I do think a lot of it'shonestly.
I don't do it from aself-centered standpoint.
(46:10):
I don't think that.
SPEAKER_00 (46:11):
But if that's what they're therapy is, but I do
think that is with some people.
Yeah.
Because I know I know somepeople, and they are horrible
with it, and there's no excuse.
Yeah.
That's just like my ex's aunt inNew York, she lived in in New
(46:32):
York City.
She was an attorney.
She was the most inconsiderate,and I loved her.
But it was all about her.
Her time.
I have never seen anything likeit.
And I mean, I mean, we would beat like a nice five-star
restaurant, yeah.
(46:53):
And we would be like, well,we've got to make the
reservation for this time whenDeborah can come.
Yeah.
And she, I, I, hand on a Bible,she would sachet in there.
She would, you know, she wouldcome in looking like she walked
off of Vogue magazine.
She would have her chanel on andher hair blown out, looking like
(47:18):
a million bucks.
Oh, how is everyone?
Didn't say sorry, sorry.
And she would be like an hourand a half late.
SPEAKER_01 (47:27):
I ain't waiting on nobody that long.
SPEAKER_00 (47:29):
I'm not that late.
No.
But it was like when I gethungry and I'm waiting on your
ass hour, I'm I'm pissed.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, why do we do this?
Like, something's wrong with us.
Exactly.
So you're not doing this.
I'm not doing this.
What they feed on.
(47:49):
Yeah, that was like, I'm notdoing this anymore.
SPEAKER_01 (47:51):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (47:52):
She can she can grab a hot dog from one of those
stands out there on the street.
Looking all dolled up.
SPEAKER_02 (48:00):
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00 (48:00):
Mm-hmm.
But yes, that's she was now andshe okay.
Here was she took it to the newan all-new level.
She's an attorney.
Oh, Lord.
And she would sachet into workan hour and a half late.
SPEAKER_01 (48:16):
Good lord.
SPEAKER_00 (48:17):
And they finally said, You're fired.
SPEAKER_01 (48:21):
No, that's bad.
SPEAKER_00 (48:23):
I don't run that late.
No, but I'm saying that I thinkwas where these psychologists
would get that.
That was just about me.
Self-centered and about my hair.
Narcissistic.
Oh yeah.
She was she's a case study forsure.
SPEAKER_01 (48:43):
Well, I'm glad I got to have a therapy session.
Well, we're not done with you.
I'm sure.
Well, we're going to be backnext week, and then we'll switch
back to me.
And then it's going to be thenew year, and then we can talk
about all kinds of things.
SPEAKER_00 (48:57):
Are you going to do a New Year's resolutions?
I don't do those.
I don't need the pressure.
I mean, do y'all do one?
I don't need the accountabilityor the pressure.
Do y'all do new New Year'sresolutions and take it
seriously?
SPEAKER_01 (49:16):
You know what, speaking of that, you know what
is an ick or an annoyance orjust makes me want to punch
someone in the face?
The the newer thing, especiallyon social media, my word of the
year is like and they'll picklike grace for New Year's.

Yeah, do you do a New Year's resolution or not?
I look at the new year as afresh start.

SPEAKER_00 (51:06):
That's the trouble.
You can't see it is it's alittle tight right in there.
SPEAKER_01 (51:11):
It is a little tight.
Because, you know, companiesdon't send it out to the last
day, some of them.
SPEAKER_00 (51:17):
And I have started putting all my um everything I
get for the business, personal,um randomly.
I put it in my China cabinet, ina drawer in my China Cabinet, so
it's not even in my office.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (51:33):
To get mixed up.
We have so you know when we comein our back door side door, I
call it the back door, but theside door there, and there's
that set of cabinets.

There's a whole empty shelf, andanything tax related goes in
there.
Anytime of the year, anytimeit's just there, and then we
pull it all out and sort it.
Sort it.

And and we work a lot.
I'm not in the mood for.
SPEAKER_01 (03:53):
No, it is certain days when I go out in the wild
is what Daniel and I call it.
Because you know, he's on thefarm a lot.
And then he'll be like, oh mygosh, I had to go do all these
things on the same day.
And he's like, Oh, go out in thewild.
And it's, you know, it's likegoing to the window.
It's overstimulating becausewe're not out like that a lot.
(04:16):
And I mean, most of my days isI'm at home on the farm doing
whatever I want on Instagram,which I love because it's
one-sided, and then we're hereand we're doing live sales or
working or whatever.
We're not out.
And so some days when you go outlike that, it is very
overstimulating.
And it's like, back up off me,people.
(04:38):
And something that was weird.
SPEAKER_00 (04:41):
It was weird.
It was weird.
What happened?
The cashier waiting on me waslike, I don't know, teenage, uh
maybe early 20s.
SPEAKER_01 (04:56):
Yeah.
She didn't have a bra.
No bra?
No bra.
At the TJ Maxx counter?
SPEAKER_00 (05:04):
Yeah.
It just stunned me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01 (05:10):
I was like, hello.
SPEAKER_00 (05:13):

SPEAKER_01 (05:17):
You should have told her.
I was like, why?
SPEAKER_00 (05:23):

She was cute.
Yeah.
She was well dressed.
She said on that bra.
And listen, I don't want to getwear a bra, I don't wear bra.
I don't, I really don't give ashit.
But it just shocked me at work.
Right.
Where you're like wearing anundergarment.
SPEAKER_01 (05:43):
Yeah, where you're at the counter, you're bending,
you're lifting, you'restretching, you're yeah, I
thought.
Well, at least she was youngenough they were.
SPEAKER_00 (05:51):
I mean, I guess it just shocked me.
It just shocked me.
SPEAKER_01 (05:59):
Well.
What are your plans for theholiday season?
Do you have anything coming up?
SPEAKER_00 (06:05):
Um my plan is to survive.
Survive.
No, I don't have anything majorcoming up.
Um we have there's a customer,uh a good, a very good customer
that's having a Christmas party.
I'm gonna try again.
(06:26):
Gina, that's a major commitmentfor us.
And it's not that we're rude orwe don't want to go to your
party and we're we're notscrooges.
We really would really be niceto do things like that.
It's just impossible.
Almost impossible with ourschedule.
So, other than that, um Youknow, I've got to squeeze in
(06:49):
some design client stuff.
I mean, some makeup.
All the year-in stuff and work.
SPEAKER_01 (06:54):
I mean, we gotta empty out the warehouse and
empty out the retail stores.
What about your Thanksgiving?
Was it good?
We didn't even talk about it.
It was good.
I mean, um no fights, any familydrama?
SPEAKER_00 (07:06):
No, Dylan's we go to Dylan's family for Thanksgiving,
and they're really low-key.
Yeah, they're not real dramaticor anything.
SPEAKER_01 (07:15):
We were at home because Daniel's family went to
Indiana to Zance House.
I talked about that on the lastone.
So where's was very low-key.
I heated up.
I said, I made you Thanksgivingdinner, but it was all frozen,
heated up.
It was free.
It was good.
I used the kitchen, as you wouldsay.
No, we use our kitchen, but um,yeah, it was all heated.
(07:39):
I didn't even make any of it,like I intended to, but then it
got to the last minute, and Iwas like, I don't have time to
do this.
So at least Daniel was thankfulthough.
It wasn't microwave.
It was something to eat.
Yeah, it was fun.
We had hash brown casserole, macand cheese, green bean
casserole.
(08:01):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (08:01):
Was the green bean casserole good?
SPEAKER_01 (08:03):
It was this time from Whole Foods.
Whole Foods.
It wasn't French green beans, soI did notice.
SPEAKER_00 (08:10):
Whole Foods usually gets it right, but those French
green beans make a difference inyour green food.
SPEAKER_01 (08:14):
What else did we have?
I did buy him a little turkeysomething, something I don't
know.
SPEAKER_00 (08:20):
Dylan's aunt.
Oh, you would have loved this.
I need to I need to try to makeone sometime.
This I don't, it's probably nota good, because I've never made
a cake from scratch.
Ever.
You haven't?
Ever.
Not from scratch.
Um, but his aunt's a baker.
She used to own a bakery.
(08:42):
Um oh my gosh.
So good.
You would have loved it.
SPEAKER_01 (08:47):
It was ten layers.
See, that's where it goes wrong.
Was it the thin layers though?
The really thin.
It was so good.
SPEAKER_00 (08:56):
And it was homemade caramel cake.
SPEAKER_01 (09:00):
Mmm, that's a good I can't tell you.
Are you sure she didn't buythat?
You know, there's a famous onewhere it comes and it's all
those layers.
She owned a bakery.
She always no, she made you onthe McDonald's.
You ain't making no damn BigMac.
No, she made it.
No.
SPEAKER_00 (09:14):
She she she's a she bakes her stuff.
Like she does.
Yeah.
And she was like, well, I hadtwo more layers, but they didn't
work, so we're going with 10.
You know, so 12.
But it was so good.
Those layers, all those layers,make the best cake.
Makes it so just like moist andall that goody goody all up in
(09:37):
there.
Yeah.
But damn, that must takeforever.
She said it took hours.
SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
Because does she make it and then slice them?
Is that how they're done?
Are they real thin?
SPEAKER_00 (09:47):
She makes she baked real thin layers.
Because you know it's not thesame if you slice it.
Slice it.
Yeah.
Because you're getting thatlittle crust on each layer.
SPEAKER_01 (09:59):
It was really good.
That sounds good.
We had our pecan pie from thejar.
Is what we had that too.
It was so good.
It was good.
We ate like a pie and a half inthe first day, and then Daniel
just finished all the rest ofit.
I think we've got to be a goodone.
We finished ours off last night.
I was like, I can't have anymore, you can have the rest of
(10:21):
it.
Good to go.
SPEAKER_00 (10:22):
I only Dylan and I only ate one complete pie.
Only one.
One.
We did give share one.
So that was good that we didn'tgolf two.
SPEAKER_01 (10:38):
Oh, something to talk about.
We had a tragedy on the farm.
Oh, you're going to talk aboutit.
Yeah.
You can't whisper.
SPEAKER_00 (10:46):
You're whispering today.
Am I whispering?
I don't mean to be.
You're whispering today likethis, and ain't nobody gonna
hear me.
SPEAKER_01 (10:54):
They can't hear me.
A damn thing you say is gonnacut it out.
Okay.
It's gonna be me talking tomyself.
SPEAKER_00 (11:00):
Well, it's like that a lot.
He's whispering.
I don't have a real strong.
SPEAKER_01 (11:08):
No, but you like to whisper sometimes.
I do.
I do.
We're gonna tell that.
I think we need to tell thetragedy.
Well, I mean, it happens.
It happens.
You know.
So we've talked about on herehow Romeo is hormonal and
feisty, especially after, youknow, the baby's been born.
(11:29):
After fathering his first child.
And Cleo and Milo, they have tostay separated.
We talked about that, and I gota bunch of shit on online.
Why aren't they together?
You don't know what you'retalking about.
Why are they separated?
Why?
SPEAKER_00 (11:44):
There's a reason you don't have a Romeo.
You know, the Romeo.
SPEAKER_01 (11:49):
Well.
Romeo killed a goat.
That's yeah.
He was And they're the they werethe sweetest little goats.
I don't know.
But you know, we've talked abouthe will get mad.
Um well he's almost killed themlike twice when I've been there.
Yeah, he will get mad and he'llpick them up by the back of
(12:11):
their necks.
You know, these goats and stuff.
But I don't know, one day umthis past week, he was just in a
mood, like hollering constantly.
You know, y'all, if you followme on social media, you'll see
I'll walk outside and he'llholler at me and use and that's
usually more playful, but he'sbeen very aggressive.
Even towards me, like when I goto feed him, instead of coming
(12:35):
up and like letting me like loveon him or like Romeo, give me a
hug.
He's like kicking and bucking,and he'll run off from me.
And it's it's a hole.
He is, I don't know, maybe Ineed to kick him in the balls or
something.
I don't know what his problemis.
SPEAKER_00 (12:49):
I think I think the balls are getting ready to go
bye-bye.
SPEAKER_01 (12:52):
Yeah, we're gonna have to get him snippity snip,
get him in a better mood.
So anyway, so I went out and hehad killed a goat.
So there's this that is thereason he's not around Milo.
Yeah.
Because he he took it out on thegoat, I guess.
Um and then he hurt another one,but it I think it's gonna be
(13:16):
fine.
It's kind of limping around, butit it just seems a little beat
up.
I think it's gonna be fine.
It didn't.
Do you think it was trying toprotect the other goat or I
don't know, or if he got thatone fur.
I don't know.
I don't know.
And the thing is, it wasn't likeI saw it to prevent it.
You know, like it what and hehadn't been, he's been like
(13:37):
hollering, but he has not beenaggressive towards the goats in
any way that I've sh would havebeen like, oh my gosh, I need to
do this.
SPEAKER_00 (13:45):
But he did that day.
Well, I can tell you who hewon't kill and that's those
birds, those emus.
They'll beat the shit out ofhim.
If I look out and he's got anemu by the neck, that's gonna be
a whole different thing.
SPEAKER_01 (14:00):
They will beat the shit out of him.
Um so the one goat is kinda beatup, and I've got it separated.
I put it in with Milo and Cleo.
Because I mean they'll be finetogether, but is it doing it
better?
Yeah.
It's eating and everything.
So which one was it?
(14:20):
Black or what?
The white, one of the whiteones.
He got one of each color.
He was kicking ass and takingnames again, taking names and
kicking ass.
I don't know what his problemwas.
Um, but then the cat, Mr.
Kitty, he has stayed in placeand he's much better.
We talked, I think we talkedabout that.
He had a bum leg after his lastvacation when he traveled.
(14:44):
But he has this time, becausehis leg was bummed, he had moved
in with Cleo and Milo in theirlittle shed barn, because I have
hay and everything down inthere.
And he has just stayed out thereand he's been staying out there
ever since.
And now, I think I've told thison a live or whatever, but now
(15:05):
I've been feeding that cat everytime I go feed them out there.
So he's like staying out there.
So hopefully he'll He's gonnalive out there.
Hopefully he'll live out thereand be friends with them.
And do they seem to like him?
Yeah, like the first couple oftimes, like I would feed him,
like both of them at the sametime, and they I feed them in
the little shed, so they're likeface to face basically.
(15:28):
He would kind of hiss, but thenthe last couple of days, you
know, like Milo will go sniffhim or Cleo, and he just turns
around and then goes back toeating.
So hey Roomies.
Hey Roomies, they all gonna haveto just get along.
Because it has the hay, and youcan see where he makes a bed,
and then he also like goes underthe like barn and sleeps under
(15:52):
there too.
I don't know.
It's a fine ecosystem out thereon the farm.
Because then one of our cats,the cutest cat that also stays
like, well, it stays everywhere,but this time of year she likes
to come in.
Rosie, she'll come in at nightand sleep on the sofa.
We don't have a litter box orindoor caps or anything, but
(16:13):
she'll sleep on the sofa andthen at like six or seven in the
morning, she's and goes outside.
Um, but she is the sweetest one,but she beats up on this Mr.
Kitty.
Like if he comes up near thehouse, so it's uh there's always
a cat screaming, a donkeyyelling, a goat something.
SPEAKER_00 (16:36):
Well, I feel like it may be time.
Um so I messed up and there Ididn't get you at some more
emus.
Oh.
I they were um I didn't realizethat they were I guess they came
(16:57):
came in early.
This year?
Yeah.
And I'm I missed them.
Oh.
I think that's the case.
I think that's the case.
I remember the emo conversation.
But uh we need more emus.
That was probably last year youhad that conversation.
We need we need more emus outthere.
I love them.
They're easy.
(17:17):
Yeah, I love the emus.
They're different, they'refriendly.
I mean, the next ones may beatthe shit out of all of them.
Right.
Because they can be a littlecantankerous.
SPEAKER_01 (17:32):
I think an ostrich or two to go with that would be
fun out there.
I do love the emus even morethan I thought I would having
them.
Because, like you said, they arevery self-sufficient there.
And they just do their ownthing.
(17:52):
I mean, the only problem is Ifeel like with the emus is I
mean, hopefully they just staygood.
Like, I don't know of a vet ifthere was an issue.
Like mine have been nomaintenance, but I don't know
like if there's an issue, whatthe heck you do with the emo.
You know what I'm saying?
(18:13):
I don't know where I come from.
They don't do nothing.
That's my thing.
See, I just and that's the thingwith the goats and the donkey.
I mean, I've taken the goat tothe bed.
The one that's beat up is thesame one that had the like
kidney problems last year.
But it's funny having theanimals is multiple times a day,
(18:37):
I'm like, okay, where iseverybody?
Where is everybody?
Like, I walk out on the porch,I'm like, okay, I see all four
goats, donkeys, the email.
Like, I the good thing is I cansee them from my porch, all the
animals, and I'll be like,Where, where are they?
Where are they?
And it's constantly on yourmind.
But like this goat, I was like,I fed them and I was like, Oh,
(19:01):
one of the goats isn't here orwhatever.
But sometimes that's fine.
Like sometimes it'll stay in oneof the little houses or under
the dock or whatever.
And so one day, the first day Iwas like, okay, I don't see the
goat.
And then when I left, I saw itunder like the dock.
So I was like, oh, it's justhanging out under there.
And that was the night.
And then the next day when I fedhim, the goat didn't come up.
(19:24):
And I was like, okay,something's up with this goat.
Let me go check on this goatdown here.
SPEAKER_00 (19:29):
Um well, and I guess I'm a little shocked that Romeo
killed the goat because, like,if the goat had gotten out,
Romeo, that's when he usuallygets really mad at the mammals.
Because he he is in charge ofthe guardian of the pasture.
(19:52):
So if they get out, they breakthe rules, he's mad.
SPEAKER_01 (19:57):
He's mad.
Yeah, so I don't know what hadhim so stirred up.
I mean, I think it's beingseparated from Cleo.
There's probably some hormonesand scents and stuff that has
him fired up.
It's the only thing I can thinkof.
And I don't know if he, youknow, did it intentionally to
kill the goat, but maybe justgot too excited.
SPEAKER_00 (20:20):
He was mad.
SPEAKER_01 (20:21):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (20:22):
I mean, when he gets mad, he is mad.
Yeah.
I've never quite seen I've neverseen a donkey act like that.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (20:35):
So, oh Romeo, he's in trouble, but I ain't gonna
talk about it except for onhere, because you know it
doesn't be a whole thing.
SPEAKER_00 (20:44):
Oh yeah.
People have their, well, heneeds to be, no, he doesn't need
to be, he needs to be rightwhere he is.
He really may need to beseparated for a minute from all
of them, from all the animals.
SPEAKER_01 (20:57):
Yeah, but that makes it so much worse.
Because I've done that.
Um, I had to separate them lastyear for something, and it makes
it so much worse reintroducingthem all back together.
It's a whole like process.
So it fires them up even more.
(21:17):
Because I had to I can'tremember, I had to separate him
for like a couple of weeks.
Um last year, but anyway.
SPEAKER_00 (21:25):
But usually, you know, when he uh when he like
beats a goat, you can stop it.
Yeah, and then he's he coolsdown and he's fine.
SPEAKER_01 (21:33):
Yeah.
I don't know.
Well, that's that's the dramawith Romeo.
SPEAKER_00 (21:41):
Let's move on to something bright and cheerful.
Yeah, let's the dead goat'sdead.
Yeah.
That's all the news there.
That's the news there.
So this clickbait and or thesepeople do it on on Instagram
(22:01):
blows my mind.
Like it's so irritating to me.
Yes.
Like, I'm gonna make a pie.
SPEAKER_01 (22:08):
You were just showing me one of this pie, and
oh my gosh.
I think they just do it asclickbait to get people to
comment on why are you doing itlike that?
SPEAKER_00 (22:19):
Yeah, and then that, you know, boosts them.
Or do they think they're reallyshowing how easy it is?
Like, put the shit in a bowl.
SPEAKER_01 (22:26):
So they these people, Steven was just showing
me this reel, and they werelady, two ladies or whatever,
making a pie, but they weremaking it in the pie crust.
So it was like pouring theingredients into the pie crust
and mixing it in the pie crust.
And you really can't mixanything like that.
(22:47):
Yeah.
Because then you're I mean, ityou're splashing around.
Damn mess.
SPEAKER_00 (22:52):
Then the idiots forgot that it was it was a that
had to be baked.
SPEAKER_01 (22:58):
It was a pie that had to be baked, a pie shell.
So it wasn't like a grahamcracker, which is what they
should have been using anyway,for the type of pie they were
making.
I think that was just a wholedamn clickbait mess.
But that one woman doesn't a loton Instagram.
But what's the point in doing itthat way?
Because then those aren't truelike views.
(23:20):
Like, what's the point increating clickbait when it's
something false anyway?
You know what I'm saying?
It just doesn't because thenthose people aren't gonna follow
for the right reason.
They're not gonna be interestedin your real content.
SPEAKER_00 (23:33):
Oh, the other thing that I'm seeing this week, which
is driving me crazy.
I haven't been able to see much.
That's what this is a good one.
Oh, do tell.
Everybody's washing their tree.
SPEAKER_01 (23:47):
Oh my gosh.
Yes, I have seen that.
Just doesn't work.
It then all needs to betogether.
It's a damn mess.
It's been out in the damn rainuntil they cut it.
And you're not saving it at all.
(24:10):
But they act like you're washingsomething out of it.
SPEAKER_00 (24:14):
Yeah, and you're it's gonna be fresh more fresh
long.
SPEAKER_01 (24:18):
Yes.
No, it's not.
Why are we in the era ofovercomplicating things?
Cut your damn tree and drag itin like you've done for the
last.
SPEAKER_00 (24:27):
The best thing you can do is shave it off of that,
off of the cut and get it inwater.
Yeah.
Keep it watered.
But why are we washing the treewith the hose?
unknown (24:41):
Shh.
SPEAKER_01 (24:43):
And then you're gonna make when you because it's
getting out the extra dirt andstuff.
SPEAKER_00 (24:48):
I'm like, what the hell are you talking about?
Give it a shake and go.
Yeah, and most farms put it on ashaker and they're shaking all
the loose out in it.
And when it dries, it's gonnahave all the loose in it anyway.
I would I would love to put asquirrel in one of those trees.
SPEAKER_01 (25:07):
And if it has like insects or something, you're not
washing those out by justsprinkling them.
No.
They're in there, they'reattached.
They are ready to go through thethunderstorm.
SPEAKER_00 (25:17):
There are insects that you can have on your tree.
Um, not to alarm anybody, butthis does happen.
There are certain insects thatlive in like Fraser Furs, for
example.
Or you can get like a um oh mygosh.
SPEAKER_01 (25:39):
Praying mantis pod in there.
This is what you call it, nestpod.
It's like a thing, and then theyall hatch and they come out on
the sea.
In the house.
Yeah.
So I mean, that's a risk ofgetting a real tree, but washing
it, you're not gonna get rid ofthat.
SPEAKER_00 (25:54):
It's only it's attached.
And honestly, unless you reallyknow what you're looking for,
you're not gonna know if there'sinsect sacks in there because
they, you know, it nature makesthem hard to notice.
Right.
So they don't get eaten.
(26:15):
Right.
You're not gonna see it.
You're not gonna know you have aproblem until you have a house
full of bugs.
Exactly.
Prey and mantis.
SPEAKER_01 (26:25):
I saw that though, on I've seen that a few times on
social.
And first of all, like it'ssomething.
Oh, we're gonna wash our tree.
Just shut the hell up.
It's right up there with washingpumpkins.
Get off my screen.
Yeah, just get the hell off.
SPEAKER_00 (26:39):
Yeah, and they stand out there like they're doing it.
SPEAKER_01 (26:42):
Oh, I love the ones that wash it, and then they get
their blower to just have youseen that?
They get their yard leaf blowerto dry it off.
I've seen a couple do it thatway.
SPEAKER_00 (27:02):
I mean, they are really stretching for content.
We're gonna we're gonna showerthe tree down and then these
cookies are so good.
They are so good.
SPEAKER_01 (27:13):
I know.
Um if you're not watching, youcan't tell that I'm just eating
downing a whole bag of cookieswhile we're seeing tart, lemon
tart, fancy pants, available atthnestedtig.com.
Little plug.
Yeah, they're um acting likethey're doing something in their
washroom.
But why are we washingeverything?
Washing that, washing thepumpkins.
Ain't nobody worried about slingthat tree up and be done.
SPEAKER_00 (27:37):
Yeah.
But I'm a little I've alwaysloved live trees.
And there's one tree, one styleof a tree that I really like.
Wait.
SPEAKER_01 (27:49):
Now that you say that, didn't we?
I feel like we had a live treein our house the first year.
You did?
I did.
Two.
But no.
Yes.
Where did I have the second one?
SPEAKER_00 (28:03):
I didn't do one on each side.
Not there.
You had two.
No.
I think they were on each sideof the fireplace or something.
You limbed them.
SPEAKER_01 (28:14):
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Because I thought I'd had ourold tree.
First year you did those.
Fresh trees.
Yeah.
I gotta put it up so early now.
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (28:27):
Well, we can't for me.
We can't.
And the trees, the real treesthat I like come from way up,
like in boon.
SPEAKER_01 (28:37):
The real trees that you like that are airy and
stuff, they now have them atLowe's.
They did last year.
SPEAKER_02 (28:44):
Do they?
SPEAKER_01 (28:45):
It's like the top where they're like really spaced
out.
You should get one and just putlike my ride coat ornaments.
Yeah.
Wouldn't that be pretty?
Mm-hmm.
In the entry.
SPEAKER_00 (28:55):
I'm sure I would drag one in with all kinds of
bugs.
Well, those you could see itbecause they're so thin.
SPEAKER_01 (29:01):
You can.
You could see it better.
Um no hell.
You'd get up.
He would get a drop of sap onthose beautifully polished
concrete floors, and that treewould be out in the hallway.
You should just put one in thehallway beside your door.
SPEAKER_00 (29:18):
People are like, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm putting up a tree.
Yeah.
I don't I don't want it in myhouse.
Let's talk about that.
Okay.
What, your floors or trees?
No, let's talk about people'swreaths.
Oh my god.
(29:38):
We've talked about people's.
Okay, but I'm gonna tell youthis is a public service.
SPEAKER_01 (29:43):
And not pour as and poor, but poor, like all pitiful
wreaths.
SPEAKER_00 (29:50):
Reeds are not meant to last forever.
They're not.
Yeah.
So the one you've been pullingout for the last 20 years.
Get rid of It you might think,oh, it looks good and it's held
up.
It hasn't.
It looks like shit.
I've got a neighbor, and I kidyou not, they have a uh and they
(30:16):
are far from poor.
I think you've talked about thisneighbor before on here.
They have a cotton wreath.
Yep, you've talked about thecotton wreath.
It looks like it.
SPEAKER_01 (30:27):
It must be look like shit because it's stuck in your
brain.
SPEAKER_00 (30:30):
It's just it looks like I ran over it about eight
times.
SPEAKER_01 (30:34):
Can you get us pictures?
Yes, I can take some pictures.
We need some photos of theirwreaths.
SPEAKER_00 (30:41):
You would not, and I see them year after year after
year of the same one.
Same damn one.
They try to fix that bow.
SPEAKER_01 (30:54):
This is massive.
SPEAKER_00 (30:55):
And it's just like that bow gave up eight years
ago.
And so don't do it.
Don't.
I would rather put a plain, Iwould rather see a bow.
Or a plain fresh wreath.
Yeah.
Nothing on it.
Mm-hmm.
Then hang your faded out bluelooking shit on your door.
(31:21):
And you're really hurting theway your home presents.
SPEAKER_01 (31:26):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (31:27):
And especially if you're like have it for sale in
the holidays and you're puttingthat old tired shit out.
SPEAKER_01 (31:34):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (31:34):
Just stop.
SPEAKER_01 (31:35):
Like, don't do it.
Everyone, check your wreathswhen you get home today.
And we have.
If you're at home right now, goout, go look at them and give
them a good like, mmm, yep,Sharon.
SPEAKER_00 (31:49):
I need to replace my and most of those, most of those
reads you get, like from evenyour boutiques and your uh your
garden centers, they are theyare not UV protected.
So they're gonna turn blue onyou over time.
Over time.
SPEAKER_01 (32:08):
You're probably gonna get, I would say on
average, two to three years.
See if you're using it seasonal.
So like a Christmas wreath,you're probably gonna get two or
three Christmas seasons out of awreath.
If you've had it longer thanthat, you probably need to give
it a double.
SPEAKER_00 (32:23):
And at my old house, you know, I had them for the
windows and the door, and I paida lot.
They were good quality, butafter a few years, I was like,
we gotta do something with this.
Yeah.
I like these as a base, but youand I put all new stems into it.
Yeah, and it looked like a newwreath.
It was practically a new wreath.
(32:43):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you don't have to recreateit.
You can use that as a base andadd fresh stems to it.
Yeah, you're probably it'sprobably cheaper to just buy
new.
It is.
It would be for sure.
It would be, but God.
I just don't get it.
SPEAKER_01 (32:59):
Well, I got this and it's still good.
It's still good.
I mean, I You can only mashthose things down.
You know, you throw them in yourtrash bags, mash them down, hang
them up in the attic.
My grandparents, I can rememberwhere they hung in the attic.
SPEAKER_00 (33:16):
Like they put a trash bag on the rafters.
Yes.
It would be hanging there.
I bet you I they were veryfrugal.
They were wonderful people thatbut they were very frugal.
Uh-huh.
I bet you that wreath was 30years old.
Oh god.
(33:37):
Oh, it was bad.
Crunchy plastic.
Very fragile.
That thing had fallen off, itwould have busted it by like
glass.
Yeah.
Because it's just so dried out.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (33:51):
Oh my gosh.
That is crazy.
SPEAKER_00 (33:54):
But you know, I love it that like my country, my more
country grandparents, they neverbought new.
Yeah.
Anything.
Anything.
Unless it was broken.
But they had the decorationsthat were like really cool.
Like the from like the 50s and60s.
SPEAKER_01 (34:17):
Because they never bought new ones.
They were so retro.
Yeah.
Big light bulbs.
The big ones that would justburn the shit out of you.
SPEAKER_00 (34:25):
And the Santas, you know, the like your mom loves.
The blow mold, Santa.
I mean, that cool stuff.
You can't find it.
No.
And you know, I adored mygrandparents.
I was the favorite grandchild.
Of course.
I was.
I know.
But me too.
(34:47):
The truth is the truth.
And I adored my grandparents.
So when my grandmother passedaway, I think what, like 14
years ago.
Didn't she die 14?
No.
No, my dad's mom.
Oh, has it been that long?
Yeah.
Was I mean my mom's been gonealmost six years?
(35:08):
Dang, that is crazy.
No, almost seven.
Yeah.
So yeah.
So when my grandmother passed,she had all of this Christmas
stuff that I loved.
And, you know, I was soemotional about everything.
I was like, just no one can havethat.
Right.
(35:29):
I was like, so seriously, I hadto tell my cousins, okay, do you
want this?
If you're not taking it, I'mkeeping it.
Yeah.
You're the only person, otherperson like I told my cousin
Susan, I was like, you're theonly person that can have this.
SPEAKER_02 (35:45):
That's funny.
SPEAKER_00 (35:46):
If you if you don't take it, I'm keeping it.
It was terrible.
I was so that's how I was.
That's how you are.
It is.
That only child.
And after time has gone by, youknow, because I had all of my
grandmother's quilts andeverything.
So I said, okay, would you likea few of these?
SPEAKER_01 (36:11):
Oh, so you started handing out a few things?
Yeah.
Well, it's like uh uh you do.
I with my grandparents' stuff.
Uh-huh.
Um when Steven moved, Stephenmoved to his place where he
lives now, Condo.
Ten years ago.
And Daniel and I moved to thefarmhouse the exact same time.
(36:31):
In the exact same week.
We moved a week earlier becausewe stole the moving people.
They were booked, so he had towait a week.
Remember that?
Uh-huh.
Um but and it just happened thatway.
I don't know how we both look.
Yeah.
We just both happened to bemoving at the same time.
Well, he had all these things inhis house that he gave me, but I
(36:54):
can never do anything with them.
You can never get rid of them.
SPEAKER_00 (36:58):
Certain things I'm like, you can, but I want it if
you're not going to be able todo it.
If you're getting rid of it, Iwant it back.
God, and you know, I had agrandmother that was like that.
And I'm like, what the hell?
All these stipulations.
You can have it, but if you getrid of it, I want it, which I
guess is fine.
I mean.
SPEAKER_01 (37:17):
Yeah.
It's fine.
I'll give it back if I want it.
I don't know.
You just won't control.
It's still your it's still yoursif you want to come.
Come get any of it.
I don't even remember what itwas like.
Oh my creamware.
SPEAKER_00 (37:33):
All my creamware.
SPEAKER_01 (37:34):
Yeah, I have that.
But that is nice.
And then your what was yourdining table.
Which you use it as a desk.
I use it as a desk.
That's a great piece.
It is a great piece.
Looks very fun European.
Yeah, it was from It's English.
Then there was, I guess youwould call a quilt chest.
Blanket chest.
Blanket chest.
(37:55):
And then there was a um chest.
I did move that out to the farmmarket.
Did you notice?
I noticed.
We're about to have Daniel onabout the farm market.
We announced it on Instagram,but it's not open until
February, until Valentine's Dayor whatever.
But that piece is so big.
I don't know where you have,like, I just don't have a place
(38:17):
for it.
I've moved it around severaltimes.
And I've had it in our bathroomin the laundry area, but you
know, I can't have straightwalls.
Like you can't have flat floors.
It's a thing with Buzz.
Because my house has these just,you know, all these angles.
So my laundry room.
Have you ever seen a house withso many angles?
(38:37):
No, no.
So my laundry room, our laundryroom has where it would fit
perfect, but it's an angledwall.
Like it's kind of like part of abay window, but not, I don't
know.
It's angled like that.
So it always stuck out too muchfor the dryer.
But it's been there for years.
And I'm like, every time I'mlike, I hate this piece of
furniture this year.
(38:57):
So I was like, we can use thisin the farm market.
We're not going to damage it.
It's such a great piece.
It is a great piece.
Daniel says, I was like, wecan't get rid of it.
It's Stevens.
He doesn't, I know he doesn'thave anywhere for it.
And he said I could have ituntil I didn't want it and then
he would take it back.
But I'm not going to give itback to him because I know he
(39:19):
doesn't need it.
But now I can't get rid of itbecause I'll feel bad.
SPEAKER_00 (39:22):
You know, it I'm going to be like, when if I ever
get my cabin, I'm going to belike, I need to have I need a
chest.
Just pig me out one.
And send it here.
I know.
I mean.
Yeah, certain things I'msentimental.
Certain things I'm not.
SPEAKER_01 (39:39):
Sentimental, and it's the only child part, too.
I have only child syndrome.
You do.
We'll get into that therapysession another day.
I picked on you about yourkitchen.
That's all though, again.
It's all.
That's what I'm saying.
It's the next step.
We'll talk about your only childproblems.
SPEAKER_00 (39:59):
Not problems.
You're gonna talk about yourbaby child problems.
SPEAKER_01 (40:07):
Do I have problems?
What would you talk to me aboutin a therapy session?
Just name the topic.
SPEAKER_00 (40:13):
Um for a major topic would probably be um your only
major personal flaw, I wouldsay.
On a serious note, for a majorflaw is um you cannot be
(40:34):
anywhere on time.
Like no matter what, like you'vemissed flights.
I mean, that's like I I'm late alot, but honestly, it's by
choice.
Mine is mine is choice because Ican be very timely.
(40:57):
Yeah.
Like if I have a realappointment, it's one thing when
it's me.
When it's my set appointment,I'll do, I'll get there when I
want.
But if it is, oh, I have adoctor's appointment or I have
an appointment interview, I'mthere.
Yeah.
And and it was you, I could holdmy AR-15 to your hand and say,
(41:25):
I'm if you don't get there, I'mgonna pull the trigger.
And yeah, I would have to pullthe trigger.
You can't, you can't, like it'snot.
SPEAKER_01 (41:34):
I wonder what that is.
I think it's a couple of things,though.
Um, now that we've started ourtheory session.
Yes, it's ADD.
It's I don't know.
I don't know.
I think a lot of it's ADD, butalso like our schedules are so
(41:57):
flexible.
You know what I'm saying?
I've gotten so used to that thatthat's made it even worse
because I'll be at home and I'llbe like, okay, I'm gonna meet
you here at this time.
And I have every intention.
It's not like I just make upthat time, and I have plenty of
time to make it.
But the ADD part kicks in, andbetween the 30 minutes of when I
(42:20):
should leave, I get involved insome kind of something else.
Well, you know, a lot ofpsychologists takes a whole
different thing.
SPEAKER_00 (42:28):
Have you ever read what psychologists say it means?
What do they say it means?
Psychologists will say that itmeans you're selfish, uh-huh,
you're self-centered, uh-huh,you do not respect other
people's time.
Uh-huh.
Um, basically, like if you readsome psychologists announced, it
(42:49):
means you're just a horribleperson.
Okay.
So I don't, I don't know.
I really accept that.
I don't, I really don't thinkit's that.
No, that's not a good thing.
More than ADD in an intentionalkind of way.
It is.
Because I'm ADD and we on aserious note, when you're ADD,
(43:10):
you are always, always, always,always trying to stuff a
thousand pounds of bullshit intoa 50-pound bag.
I mean, you're just, I can dothis that I can do this.
SPEAKER_01 (43:26):
There's so much things that I have to do to get
out of the house, too, that Idon't account for in my mind.
When I think, oh, I'm just gonnado this real quick.
Like I should be leaving, andthen I'm going to the car and
I'm like, oh, I gotta feed theanimals real quick.
Oh, I haven't been on Instagram.
Let me just record a story realquick.
And that's all that's 30minutes, you know, by the time I
(43:48):
do that.
And then it's like, oh, I'mlate.
SPEAKER_00 (43:51):
Well, and what I haven't accounted for, and I'm
trying to be more conscientiousof it, is for me to get out of
the condo and get down that's awhole five bars.
And and the little things likegetting out of the gate because
you have to sit there.
That slow ass thing wait on thegate to open.
(44:14):
See, I would have rammed throughthat gate already.
You know, before I never had to,I literally just ran out of the
house, took in the car, gone.
Yeah.
Well, I've got five to tenminutes of work just to getting
out onto the street.
Yeah.
That's so you know, you don'tthink about all those.
(44:35):
And you know, here's the otherproblem is, you know, because
I've always been on the boardand everyone knows me in the
building.
So I have a hundred and threeowners.
And then you see someone in thehallway.
And and just, you know, and andnot, I mean, listen, I like all
(44:56):
of the people there except fortwo.
Which that's an that's amiracle.
There's two that I cannot stand,and I wish they would go to a
home.
And um, so I like all thesepeople.
So you say, hey, hello, how areyou?
You run into the mailman.
Hello, how are you?
SPEAKER_01 (45:16):
You know, and then it could be a 15-minute process.
SPEAKER_00 (45:19):
But then if somebody has a problem because you're on
the board, they want to tell youabout it.
SPEAKER_01 (45:25):
And talk, and that's what you do.
So it's like Well, and that'slike mine, and see, also the
other thing that happens a lotis like Daniel, you know, he's
working there on the farm and hecan walk in at any time.
Like tonight, for example, hecame, like I was getting ready
to leave, gonna go feed theanimal, and he comes in, he's
like, Hey, do you have a fewminutes I need to film?
(45:47):
I need you to help me film areel that he needed someone to
record for him.
Well, then that was a whole30-minute process of whatever.
And no, I didn't mind doing it,but I'm just saying, and I knew
you didn't care what time I gothere.
But that's the things thathappen on the daily to make me
late.
So I don't know, it is a thing.
It is a I do think a lot of it'shonestly.
I don't do it from aself-centered standpoint.
(46:10):
I don't think that.
SPEAKER_00 (46:11):
But if that's what they're therapy is, but I do
think that is with some people.
Yeah.
Because I know I know somepeople, and they are horrible
with it, and there's no excuse.
Yeah.
That's just like my ex's aunt inNew York, she lived in in New
(46:32):
York City.
She was an attorney.
She was the most inconsiderate,and I loved her.
But it was all about her.
Her time.
I have never seen anything likeit.
And I mean, I mean, we would beat like a nice five-star
restaurant, yeah.
(46:53):
And we would be like, well,we've got to make the
reservation for this time whenDeborah can come.
Yeah.
And she, I, I, hand on a Bible,she would sachet in there.
She would, you know, she wouldcome in looking like she walked
off of Vogue magazine.
She would have her chanel on andher hair blown out, looking like
(47:18):
a million bucks.
