I could tell he was in a moodtoday, not in a bad mood, not in

I didn't say bad, I saidaggressive.
(01:51):
You're a little aggressive,like you could slap somebody or
something.
Or road rage yeah, yeah,exactly, I could see you
Speaking of that.
I love funny road rage issues,funny ones, not you know nothing
criminal, but I was watchingone.
It popped up on social media.
(02:13):
There was this motorcycle, thisbig guy on this motorcycle, and
he was road raging.
It was like at a red light.
So he went to pass this car.
They were stopped at a redlight.
So he went to pass this car andthey were stopped at the red
light.
But I guess he was gonna turnright and go and the car was
going straight.
So he went by the car and hewent to kick the car like
(02:34):
sidekick it and it knocked himover and his boot came off.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It didn't hurt him, but I was like that is karma I
don't wish anyone hurt, but ifyou do something like that,
right, that's what was funny,that is karma.
I don't wish anyone hurt, butif you do something like that,
right, that's what was funny,that's what I'm saying it was
funny.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No one was hurt.
He was just gonna kick the sideof their car, but it knocked
him over and he had a, like youknow, big, nice motorcycle years
ago, a guy on a motorcycle wassome redneck, of course, no.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No.
Came down our street and my dogwas you know, loved to chase a
car and she started chasing themotorcycle and he went to kick
her uh and default over and hewrecked and like knocked some of
his out, which I was so happyhe did oh my.
(03:27):
God, I seriously.
It was bad.
An ambulance had to get him buthe killed my dog.
He hit her when he went to kickher.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So I mean, I was young but I was like that was a
curveball in the store.
I was like I hope he dies.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
My mother was like honey, we don't.
And I'm like well, that wasjust mean.
He was being mean to an animal.
I know she shouldn't have beenchasing, but she wasn't Right.
Come on now.
She was 12 inches tall.
Yeah, what an ass.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I know, jerk, poor dog.
Speaking of pets, I do have afunny story you know, about this
.
So if you've been here andlistened because I think we
talked about it on the podcastand I know I've showed in my
stories a few weeks months ago,back in July, right after July,
july, right after 4th of July,we got a new kitten.
(04:23):
One of our employees lives outin the country and a cat showed
up and she was like, will youtake this cat?
It was a little baby kitten andI was like sure we'll take it.
It's been a few years sincewe've gotten the new one.
We just have two hanging aroundthe farm that are ours, that we
claim, and there's wild catsthat come around that also eat
(04:47):
our food and stuff like that,but we don't care because they
keep things.
So it's like it's a fine timeto get a kitten.
We don't have much going on.
Kittens are easy.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
it's not in our house or anything well, you tried
that, but then it shit the wholehouse well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It wasn't intended to be in the house, but it was so
little.
We always start them in thehouse, even even the other one,
because that's so much fun Iknow it's not fun, but it the
last few have not been bad.
And then you know, once they'reold enough, then we just they
hang out on the porch and thenthey'll hang out in the garage
and then they move on to thefarm and one lives in the
(05:20):
workshop it.
They take up homes whereverthey decide on the farm.
So this kitten showed up.
It was pretty skittish, feral Iguess, you would say, and I had
to go to market with you and sowe had it for about a week and
in that week time it became alot more coming around,
(05:42):
friendlier, was getting used tothings.
It was in our house, it wouldhide all day.
Well, I left for market andleft the cat with Daniel and the
shit hit the fan literally.
So I don't know.
This cat, I guess, has bondedwith me, like it responds to me.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It ain't bonded too much.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Not too much, but more than anything.
And so I don't know if leavingdisrupted it or whatever.
But while I was gone to market,all of a sudden Daniel like
after a couple of days, the catwas staying upstairs, where we
don't really go or whatever, andit was hiding out, but it would
come down to eat, use thelitter box, blah, blah, blah.
Well, anyway, long story short,this cat Daniel came upstairs
(06:29):
while I was gone and the cat hadstarted shitting all over the
guest room Like it was adisaster.
So he had to spend like fourhours cleaning everything,
soaking all the comforter, youknow, because we don't do, we
don't do that kind of thing.
Stephen likes to make fun of usand living in the country and
(06:50):
whatever, but we don't, we clean, we clean.
So he was like, okay, this cathas got to go and Daniel hasn't
grown up with like a lot of petsand stuff and not no cats.
And I was like it's fine.
I said just put it in ourgarage because I'm gone anyway
and it's really big enough andit has a cat.
(07:11):
It has a dog door, cat door.
I said it will just hang out inthere, put its litter box and
just feed it every day it willbe fine.
Like it's so skittish it's noteven going to go anywhere until
I get back or whatever.
And so it's been living in ourgarage ever since mid-July and
it's gotten slowly where it'scoming out at a hangout and it
(07:32):
goes back in there at night.
You know there's, you know howa garage is, it sleeps wherever
and all that Well.
So the cat's been here.
Well, about a week ago I waslike, oh, I just call him Mr
Cause it's a boy cat.
I'm like Mr Kitty's gone.
I told Daniel cause we had justI have been going out and I
will feed it, and every time Ifeed it I try to hold it for at
(07:55):
least like five minutes.
I'll flip it over on its back,get it more comfortable fine.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, one day I didn't see it and I was like, oh
, it's just out somewhere.
Next day I was like, well, Ididn't see it yesterday and I
hadn't seen it today, so Thoughtof Fox or Cody.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, I just put out more food and then I didn't even
think anything about it.
Then a couple of more days wenton and I told Daniel.
I was like Mr Kitty's been gonefor like a few days now.
I guess something got it.
And then yesterday I had evensaid to Daniel I was like I just
can't believe the little cat'sgone.
So it's been gone for like aweek and you hadn't mentioned
(08:32):
any of that to me.
No, because I kind of thought,well, is it coming back?
Did it find a place on the farm?
Is it gone?
Gone, you know, did somethingget it?
But I even said to Daniel I waslike I really can't believe
something got it because itwasn't going out anywhere and we
don't have and it was probablyso spry like little and fast
Right.
(08:52):
And we don't have predatorsright next to our house.
I could see if it went out inthe woods or something like that
, but kind of right by our houseI don't ever see signs of
anything really.
So I was like that's really odd, because cats are pretty, you
know, I don't know with it, soanyway that was the cat, and
they can climb a tree.
(09:13):
Yeah, so I had literally saidthat yesterday, wouldn't you
know?
Last night, which was Sunday,stephen and I were doing a live
sale over at the warehouse andwe came out, we were getting in
our cars, which is probably 15miles from here.
it's like seven, yeah, like 17miles okay, 17 miles it takes me
like 20 minutes, and so we werestanding out about to get in
(09:37):
our cars and just talking like,oh, that was good, see you
tomorrow, blah, blah, we'regonna record podcast.
And I see this cat, like ourwarehouse also sits off of a
main road and there's a building, a strip mall, that sits not
directly in front of us but wayclose to the road.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Now, you said there's that cat and I'm like what in?
The hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think there's that cat, yeah, and he's like what
are you talking?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
about.
I think there's that cat, yeah,and he's like what are you
talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And I said I don't know if I've told you, but our
little cat's been missing.
And I said I swear it just ranin front of that strip mall,
like the one in front of us,like it was kind of the side,
and I just saw it like jut infront of that and both of us
were like oh, it rode over inthe truck, yeah.
So, steve, I was like you cango ahead and go home.
(10:26):
I'm going to walk around andsee if I can find this cat.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, I knew I would scare it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, so Stephen leaves and I walk around this
other strip mall and thenthere's an old changing place
and there's a Waffle House and Iwas like I don't see it
anywhere.
So I made the rounds I didn'tsee it and I got back in my
truck and I was like, well, I'lljust drive around as I'm
leaving.
Well, there was the cat pokingits head out of a storm drain or
(10:51):
whatever you know how, likethere's a sidewalk and I pulled
up and I was like Mr Kitty andit started meowing.
Well then it ran into the stormtrain.
You know so I'm the storm drain.
You know so I'm out there,probably looking like a fool,
with my flashlight on my phone.
Trying to get this cat out ofthe storm drain took me like
five minutes, but it was our cat.
(11:12):
It had ridden to the warehouse,I guess up in the truck
underneath it somehow.
I guess it had probably gottenspooked and ran up under my
truck.
And then I jumped in and wentto the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, you remember the story I told on here,
because the crazy lady thatlives in the town homes next
door to the meal yeah, I mean,this is a nut.
She's a nut.
I hope she listens to this.
You're a nut.
See, I told you I'm a littleaggressive today.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You are aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It was like around Christmas.
Yeah, she was driving me crazy,because she woke up and, for
whatever reason, thought sheowned Meal's Meal Right and
started taping Because she wasnext door to the meal, wasn't
even a meal owner, no, no, shewas not an owner there and
started taping her cat, hermissing cat, and you know I'm an
(12:08):
animal lover and I you know Iam a nice person so I kind of
just you.
I was like okay, well, I get it, she wants her cat yeah oh my
gosh, it went on and on and on.
We had to say, hey, stop putting.
I mean she came over and tapedon our doors.
(12:31):
I mean it was excessive, yeah,and like, how are you even
getting in, like you nut.
So come to find out, the catturned up.
So they had guests on ChristmasDay or Christmas Eve the cat
crawled up into the enginesomewhere warm and had ridden
(12:55):
almost two hours away, almost toAtlanta, and they didn't know
like their family had never seentheir cat.
And then just throughconversations, like six weeks
later, and they didn't know liketheir family had never seen
their cat, yeah.
And then just throughconversations, like six weeks
later, oh, we had this cat takeup here after Christmas.
And they were like, oh well,send me a picture.
(13:16):
And she's like, oh, my gosh,that's my cat.
It rode two hours.
That's crazy.
So I mean, it rode two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's crazy.
So I mean, now I got to findout, figure out how to leave and
make sure the cat's not in mytruck, because I don't.
Also, I don't park in the.
I haven't been parking in thegarage with the cat there, I
park outside of it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But I'm thinking it was outside, maybe toot the horn
a few times before.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, you think it would jump down and run out.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know here, kitty, kitty, I mean hopefully
it won't get into the fan andhave cat soup out there.
I would be so mortified, butyou know if you grow up in the
country.
That's a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, I called Daniel on the way home and I said, hey
, I'm on the way home from thewarehouse.
I said guess who's with me?
He was like huh.
I was like Mr Kitty, I foundthe little kitty and he was like
what?
So I was telling him the storyand he was so baffled by like
(14:21):
what do you mean?
It rode in the truck, like inthe bed, and I was like no, like
cats will get up in your car ortruck.
There's compartments they'llride on.
No way, I've never heard ofthat.
I was like you are so citysometimes.
Yeah, yeah, that's a thing,yeah, and especially like when
(14:44):
it gets cold, sometimes they'lldo it for the warmth or
something like that.
And I've heard it more withlike kittens.
Maybe they get smarter.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well and see we had had a few cooler nights, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm thinking what happened?
Is it got spooked?
Probably the dogs ran out orsomething and then it ran under
my car and jumped up in therebecause they couldn't get to it.
I'm glad it didn't get hurt.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I know I'm glad it didn't get ran over on that four
lane highway.
I know I'm just like that's,it's so baffling to me Was it
hungry when it got home?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, I mean like normal hungry, but it wasn't
like crazy.
But you know we're right by aWaffle House.
And a chicken wang place it wasout there having some wang, it
was probably happier than it isnow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That cat's going to be like.
I got to get back out there.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It's going to be like hey, can I ride with you?
I need a snack.
Oh my gosh, I know.
I was just so like.
It was just so funny, Likewhat's the chances of walking
out?
At the exact moment it justhappened to cross right in and
it wasn't even right in front ofus.
I mean, that's probably what,like I don't know, a couple of
(15:59):
hundred feet away, I mean a longdistance, I just saw this flash
of a cat and I was like I thinkthat's our cat, but I don't
know.
Yeah, it was hanging out at theWaffle House in the Wang Place,
so it was probably having somegood meals.
Maybe we should just take it tothe warehouse and let it be a
warehouse kitty inside.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
No.
It can hang out in thewarehouse?
No, that's all we need.
Is it peeing on boxes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh, that cat would get shipped to somebody.
It'd be like, oh, your catshowed up in my box or something
crazy like that.
But anyway, I was just likethis is bad.
I've never had that sort ofthing happen because I was like
well, Kitty's gone.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well see, I would have thought, well, something
got it, Because you do have afox every now and then.
Yeah, I mean, that's what Ifigured.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was like well, I guess something really did get
it.
Maybe it was wandering off atnight further than I thought, or
something.
What about the meal?
You have an update on the firesituation.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Insurance is.
You know, everyone's insuranceis working on everything and
we've had one, two, three, we'vehad four people had to move out
, dang.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Until it gets fixed yeah.
Just damages, but you said theywere already starting to rip
out the walls in the hallways.
Yeah, yeah, is that a mess?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, it's a mess, but it hasn't been that bad
that's good it hasn't been thatbad for us and so we're just
taking our shoes off at the door, you know, just because of
sheetrock dust.
Oh yeah, we don't want to duststuff in there, nothing like
that, that, but I do.
(17:44):
I still feel bad for all thepeople that it affected, but it
could have been so much worse.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, moving on from that, I want to know, because
you gave me a little teaserbefore we sat down.
You said I have an update onthe Visa MasterCard situation
which, if you haven't been herefor this way back, this has been
going on for years but wetalked about it on the podcast.
(18:13):
I know at least one or two times.
Visa MasterCard was charging alot of I think everybody
businesses.
There was a miscalculation,something, something on the
credit card processing fee.
They were charging merchantsand it wasn't just McDonald's,
it was a lot of merchants.
(18:34):
It wasn't calculated right tothe agreement that you know you
sign up if you don't know.
When you're a business ownerlike to accept Visa, mastercard,
american Express, discover,they each set their own.
They take a percentage from thebusiness, so it could be 3%,
2.75%, there's all these things,and if you're a big company
like McDonald's, you can evennegotiate.
(18:58):
You know those percentages andthat sort of thing.
So there has been this classaction lawsuit going on, for, I
mean, you have been talkingabout this for Eight years Okay,
eight years and even thoughSteven has though, stephen has
sold his McDonald's and moved on, you were an owner at the time.
(19:18):
So you're in this class actionlawsuit that we keep laughing
about because some people thinkthey're going to get lots of
money and then Stephen said it'sgoing to be pennies.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm like you know I've laughed about it.
I'm like I'm not gonna be and Iknow they, I know that they,
they took I mean I ran thereports.
They took thousands andthousands of dollars for me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But I'm not stupid, I'm not gonna get it back yeah,
I think we talked aboutsplitting it on the podcast.
I have to go back.
No, I'm serious.
I think we talked aboutsplitting it on the podcast.
I have to go back.
No, I'm serious.
I think we said we need tosplit the check when it comes in
.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm going to open the check here on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Okay, so tell us the update.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It just says it's from the attorney.
Hope you've had a wonderfulsummer Update on the settlement.
All the appellate courtsthey've ran up through all of
(20:27):
that.
They have to pay and it'sbillions of dollars.
And then it says refund timingBased on our experience, we
anticipate the claimsadministrator to take at least
18 months from February 2025.
Oh, good Lord.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
To complete their review, I don't know if you'll
be opening that check on thispodcast or not, because I don't
know if I'll be here in 18months here in 18 months.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
We currently estimate final refunds to be issued in
the second half of 2026.
And it you know, refund amountblah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Which you don't know until you get the check, because
they'll do it on a case-by-case.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, don't know what it is, and that firm in Texas
is taking because you had tosign up with a firm.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, you had to sign up with the class action so
they're going to get theirpercentage.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Listen, I wasn't even going to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, I got the.
I could have signed up for itbecause I had the store, but I
was like I'm not signing up Forme, that would be nothing, I'm
not signing.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
For me that would be nothing, I'm not gonna do it.
And um, then they, the attorney, contacted me, I guess because
of through mcdonald's, and I waslike it literally was an online
form and I had to submit mysales.
It was literally took me 20minutes.
I was like, well, I mean, itreally is my money.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Well, first of all, if they're getting sued and they
did the wrong thing, theyshould have to refund anybody
who had a merchant agreement atthe time.
It should be an automatic.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
It should be an automatic.
You shouldn't have to give 30%to a law firm.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And my thing is and if you do, that's fine, but I
feel like it should be theyrepresent everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, I just think it's so and I guess the reason
you had to sign up because youhave to provide your sales
information and you have towaive that you can't turn around
and sue separately and it's allRules and regulations.
Yeah, I had one owner say thiscould be a lot of money.
I had two and I said, yeah, itcould be, but it ain't going to
(22:42):
be.
I will not get enough to buy mea pair of shoes.
That was my first comment.
Now my opinion is I don't thinkI'll get enough to buy me lunch
.
I think it will seriously belike $30.82.
Yeah, and you know what?
That's fine, it's $30 more thanI had.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And it was mine.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You know who's going to make out?
Is that attorney, all theseattorneys, yeah, I mean they're
going to make millions.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That's what they live for.
I mean, that's their business,which you know.
What Good for them you go girls.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm a little shocked though that Visa MasterCard
would.
I'm a shocked that that wouldhappen.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I am, but you know, I mean, I'm not defending anyone.
It could have been a mis.
It could have been a mis, itcould have been a clerical error
.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It could have been a data entry person keying
something like instead of 2.03,they could have accidentally put
2.05.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, or 3.0 or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I mean it could have been that simple.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, so I don't know .
It's one of those things.
Oh well, I thought you had amoney number update I was I
thought I was buying mesomething.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a starbucks.
I mean it would be so fun, itwould be so fun and so funny if
it were like really somethingbig.
But it won't be.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I mean it can't be that big, but I want you to open
it and see.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It'd be for a good laugh.
Well, it's going to behysterical if it's like $1.87.
Yeah, that's going to be even.
Oh my gosh, I think I may evenframe it.
I might not even cash that.
Yeah, that's just too good toWon my class action.
I won it, you know.
The funny thing is, you know,you, you nor I.
(24:45):
We've never sued anyone in ourlife, right, um, but there are
those people.
There's those people, thatthat's their mentality yeah.
I mean, I had one lady one timehere in in the in the Moonfield
McDonald's.
She obviously didn't know who Iwas, but I was sitting at a
(25:08):
table doing office work Causethat's what I would do Go to
McDonald's, to McDonald's andshe literally laid down in the
floor and then did this oh, likeshe had fallen.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yes, I love those on social media too.
You know there's cameraseverywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Well, I didn't have this was before digital was
affordable and I had not putcameras in yet I did right after
.
Yeah, do you know that heifergot like a lot of not like?
She's not like independentlywealthy now, but she got
thousands and I was like I wassitting there Right, she laid in
(25:52):
the floor Right and nothing.
Now you're not going to getaway with it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, you know, I had the lady I forgot at Roots that
sued me for that went onforever too.
Oh, fat ass Still a customertoo.
How do you come back in andshow your face?
She sued.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Thankfully I had insurance, but it wasn't truly,
it wasn't even on the business,because her fat ass was in the
parking lot.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yes, but she had been in the store.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I mean it really was bogus.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
She was in our store but was outside in the parking
lot for a multi-store unit.
So it was in the parking lot,wasn't in the store.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Was it ice.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
She said she tripped on or something.
It wasn't even that icy andmaybe she did, I don't even know
.
But she tried to milk that foryears and years.
And here's the thing she wastoo greedy because the insurance
company was just going to do apayout.
(27:10):
You know, there's like a baseautomatic, like like hey, just a
settlement for like it was alot, like I was surprised
because my insurance was goingto pay and the building
insurance was going to pay.
So she would have probablygotten I'm guesstimating, but I
think just from mine was like20,000 and probably something
equal from them or maybe not,but whatever she would have just
(27:32):
gotten.
But she something equal fromthem or maybe not, but whatever
she would have just gotten.
But she was saying she wastrying to sue for, like I don't
know, 200,000 or whatever thather knee, blah, blah, blah.
Well, you know, you don't playwith the insurance company.
If you're going to do that, ifyou're listening and you're in
something like this, take thepayout, because they got the
money to go on.
(27:54):
So they dug deep.
She had already okay.
So she was saying it hurt herknee and she was going to have
to have knee surgery.
She had been in a marathon anddamaged her knee and already had
pre-existing knee problems.
She had already been told by adoctor that she was going to
have to have knee surgeryreplaced.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
A marathon.
She had been some kind of Idon't know, Was she chasing a?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
donut truck.
I don't know, but there wassome kind of thing like that.
I mean, I guess she was youngerat one time and maybe a little
more fit, I don't know, or maybeall that weight just blew her
knees out, I don't know.
Anyway, she ended up gettingnothing Like nothing.
It went on for like five yearsand then she got nothing because
it was all pre-existing andwasn't due to the yeah, I had
(28:45):
one in McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
She'll probably come in and fall next week.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's fine, we got cameras.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But how are you going to show back up and act like I
mean, because I had to go liketo a lawyer's office and give
reports and provide all thisstuff, and it was on, and on,
and on and on.
And then you go show up.
Hey, I brought my containers.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
There's this one family.
I do not remember their name,but they this was my last
lawsuit, um, I had I had a lot.
I could write a book onlawsuits.
Um, they claimed that they weretaking their kid to camp and
(29:32):
they got sausage biscuits.
Okay, there's a lot going onhere with I remember you talked
about this they got the kid gotsalmonella.
Okay, that can happen from crosscontamination, but just so you
know, there are specific hoursthat it takes to start getting
(29:58):
sick and one person doesn't getsalmonella it does not work that
way, because it's going to becontaminated, because when it's
cross-contamination, like in thebreakfast, from a piece of
chicken on a chicken biscuit.
You're going to have multiplepeople.
Well, and see, these crookedpeople don't realize that all
(30:20):
that food is fake.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
No, I'm just kidding.
There ain't no chicken juicethere anyway.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yes, there is, don't make me don't go there.
But they don't realize, likeall of your local health
departments track that.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Right, that's a big deal, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's how they getrecalls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, you know Well, they never called to complain to
anyone at the restaurant.
They had no receipt.
So have they ever been?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
They finally called the health department at some
point.
The health department saidthere have been zero cases.
Yeah, zero, so nothing added up.
But yet they still sued me.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
And I was like okay, so I knew it was bogus and my
attorney hired an epidemiologistfrom UNC.
Chapel Hill and they were likeain't possible Like this did not
(31:36):
happen If this happened.
This did not happen this way.
So I said, okay, I'm going tosue them.
And I said, and my attorney waslike okay, they have a car, a
truck, a small brick house and acamper.
There ain't nothing to get.
And I said, well, I don't havea small brick house.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I don't have a camper .
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And I don't have a truck.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You could use all three.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I could use all three , and you know, and he laughed.
You know, my attorney was inCharleston.
He laughed.
He was like I hear you, butseriously, these people have
nothing.
So I just let it go on and onand on and eventually I had to
settle because it was holding upthe, it was holding up the sale
(32:27):
of my business, yeah.
So I was like but, yeah,they'll do any.
These people will do anything.
It's the same people that youget in a bump up and they're
fine, and all of a suddenthey're on a stretcher oh my
goodness, that is crazy oh andfunny story.
(32:52):
When I sold the business, thenew owner, I went with him to
open, to change utilities andopen bank accounts.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And the lady that sued me waited on us at the bank
.
She was a local banker.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
You know, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm like, okay, this crook is taking people's money.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
One thing I want to mention really quickly, moving
on from that, or unless you gotsomething else, is because I got

Speaker 1 (37:03):
The 20th is Care for Kids Day, so only care for your
kids on the 20th and then screwit the rest of the time.
This is so dumb.
Okay, hmm, okay.
What else you got for usSouthernisms?
Are you Southernism?
You know you were supposed tohave these segments.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I always have.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Oh good, Do you got something yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
So I say I've said, but I use both of these.
The first one is I swanny.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Didn't we talk about I swanny?
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I don't know if we've talked about.
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I think I talked about.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
I swanny.
Do you know what I swanny?
Do you know what swanny is?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
It's like I swear.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, so you're not swearing, oh.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I swanny Well, I swear yeah, so you're not
swearing.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh, I swanny, well.
I swanny, well, I swanny Ididn't see you coming up the
driveway.
Yeah, the other, as I know wehaven't had talked about this
one is what in the Sam Hill?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Or I thought it was hail no, what in the Sam?
Hail no yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
No, it was Hale.
What in the Sam Hale?
No, no, it isn't.
What in the Sam Hill?
Where do you come up with it?
I thought it was Sam Hale.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
That's what it says.
What in the Sam Hill Oftenshort ended for what shortened
to what in the Sam Hale?
No, it's Sam what shortened towhat in the Sam hell.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
No, it's Sam.
The original is what in the Samhill and it came from a man
that was named Sam hill thatcursed all the time.
So rather than cursing likesaying what in the blankety
blank, people would say what inthe Sam hill.
So if you're moving to theSouth and somebody says what in
(38:54):
the blankety blank, people wouldsay what in the Sam Hill.
So if you're moving to thesouth and somebody says what in
the Sam Hill, it means what inthe blankety blank?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Well, sam Hill is a thing, it talks about it.
It's just got from Sam Hill toSam Hill.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I say Sam Hill, I say it correctly.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
What in the Sam Hill?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
What in Sam's Hill have you got in your hands?
Because, sam Hill, that doesn'teven make sense, because you're
putting a bad word in withsomething and the whole purpose
of saying Sam Hill is not to saya bad word.
So how does that make sense?
I don't know.
That's like saying what in Samshit.
(39:37):
I mean, you're saying what inSam Hill, so you're not using
bad language.
Well, I mean, it's got to bevery confusing if you're from up
north and move to the south.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Oh, I thought you were going to say to be in my
head.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Well and to be in your head.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
But, sam Hill, there is a whole thing.
It's right here Google it.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
That is for dumb people that don't know how it
originally came about and thepurpose of it.
It's for dumb Dumb.
It says in there.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
dumb people say what in the Sam hell, oh my gosh.
Well, what else you got?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's it of Southernisms.
One thing I've been seeing popup on Instagram lately and it's
funny.
I don't really know why and Inever liked this as a kid, but I
really want to try it to see,to confirm, because my taste, my
taste buds, have significantlychanged since I was a kid.
(40:43):
Like things I would not eat asa kid I will eat now.
Yeah, um, certain things I'mjust never gonna try because it
was just such a horrible thinglike liver.
I'm not gonna eat liver, I'mnever trying it again.
And but pear salad, did youever eat that?
I tried it, I think, one timein my life at like a church
(41:04):
potluck.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I'm sure we all have.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
We talked about that not that long ago, half a pear
with a dip of mayonnaise,cheddar cheese and a maraschino
cherry Gross as hell.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Oh no, we were talking about it.
I tasted it one time and Ithink I spit it out.
Someone brought it up when Iwas going through I'm pretty
sure we talked about it messagesbecause they said that's what
they would do when they couldn'thave the cantaloupe and gravy
that you brought up, whichgagged me.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, that's a big thing now.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But it's not a big thing, let's not get carried
away.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Dozens of people reached out Well we'll leave
that there.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But anyway they were saying, if they couldn't have
that, the cantaloupe and gravy.
I don't know why that makes megag a little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
It is so good, just this slimy texture of cantaloupe
and then wet gravy on it.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Hot oh, and hot yeah, it's hot gravy.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
It's hot gravy.
Well, what did you think youwere putting cold gravy?
Who eats cold?
Speaker 1 (42:13):
gravy.
Who eats cantaloupe and gravy?
You're putting hot gravy oncantaloupe.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
What you do is you put the cantaloupe in your plate
and you put the gravy in you.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, so you got cold cantaloupe?
Yes, because you ain't eating acantaloupe hot or room temp.
So you have cold cantaloupebecause it's a melon and you're
putting hot ass gravy on it.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Like white gravy, milk gravy.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
I thought it would be cold on top of that.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Why would you eat that?
Speaker 1 (42:52):
That is so gross.
Oh, that's gross.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
That's where we draw the line.
Y'all, I want y'all to all sendmessages again and say, oh, we
love that Because I had so manypeople reach out to me which
they sent it into the hotline.
Oh, yes, we eat that.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
That is a Southern delicacy I love we draw the line
at the gravy being cold.
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Actually I don't even like melon without gravy.
I haven't had it in so long.
If I went to a restaurant andthey had cantaloupe with milk
gravy, I would order it.
It is so good.
It's like you're sweet andsalty.
You're hot and cold.
It's just good.
It's like you're sweet andsalty, You're hot and cold.
(43:42):
It's just good If you ate ityou would like it.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
No, you would Just like.
I'm not going to like the pearsalad either, or whatever they
call it.
It's half pears.
I can picture it.
It had to be from church, youknow the church potluck.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
It had to be, but I thought it was awful and it's
mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
It's a Dollop of mayonnaise Because you take out
the center of the pear or thepit, so it makes a little bowl
in there you put the mayonnaisethere, Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Top it with shredded cheddar cheese oh yeah, that's
what it was shredded.
And then you put a maraschinocherry on top.
That just seems so gross.
I hated it as a kid, but wouldI like it now Because I like
pears, I like cheddar cheese, Ilike maraschino cherries, I like
mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Well, I like cantaloupe and I like gravy, but
I'm not eating white gravy on.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
You do not know what you're missing with that.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
You really do not.
I mean it is.
I would say, we would try it,but you can't make white gravy,
so who can make us?
I guess I could look up.
I can make white gravy.
You ain't ever cooked no damnwhite gravy.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yes, I have, oh, yes.
White gravy is not hard.
I'm up in the kitchen all thetime.
I can cook it.
I don't Mm-hmm, you just cook,you just put your flour in there
after you fry your chicken.
Mm-hmm.
I think that that's the bestgravy, with cantaloupe,
(45:24):
personally, but you could usesausage gravy.
I can't have any meat in it,though.
Well, you have to use yourdrippings from the meat.
We can use some meat.
It's not the same, it's justthe.
It's basically there's no meatin it.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
It's just the it's basically.
There's no meat in it.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's just the bread and you put your, you get your
roux, you cook your flour andthen you gradually add your milk
and it thickens up.
And then you got your gravy?
It's not hard.
But if you want some nastygravy, don't cook your flour,
and then you end up with ittastes like raw flour, oh gross.
(46:05):
So you can always tell somebodythat doesn't know how to cook
that try to make gravy, becausethey just throw all that in
there.
They don't cook their flour andmake their roux.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
They just dump it all together, dump it all in there,
and then it tastes.
Yeah, we don't want no bad gravy.
I don't know if I'm really agravy fan, though I mean I like
I don't know.
I don't know.
My grandmother used to makethat kind of gravy for breakfast
(46:39):
, on biscuits, you know, withthe sausage.
Old Bobby, that was so good,see, I don't think I really
loved it then as a kid.
I mean, maybe I did smotheredon the biscuits and stuff.
I can remember it, but it kindof makes me a little gaggy, so
I'm not sure if I liked it ordidn't like it.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
I'm very choosy about gravy too.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I know my brothers loved it.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
I don't like a lot of grease in my gravy.
Like I like it, more flour milkcreamier.
Yeah, I tell you who has somegross-ass gravy.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh, do tell.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
The Marriott Marquis in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Well, you know, that's probably from a bag mix
or something.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
It's like dog food Gross it is.
So I look at it and I'm likewhat are you?
You're not gravy, it's likeleftover bacon and grease with a
little flour thrown in it.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
It just looks disgusting.
Here's two Southernisms thatI'm reading through that I've
heard.
He hasn't got the sense.
God gave a goose.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
I've never used that.
You never used that one.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Mm-mm, I mean that means they're dumb.
Basically, what about the porchlight's on, but no one's home?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, I don't think that's really a Southern thing,
though.
Now I love one of my dad'sfavorites that he still says all
the time, like if somebody'sugly, he'll.
He'll say, because my dad,every sentence contains
something I need to startjotting them down.
He'll say that woman's, thatwoman is so ugly she could burn
(48:31):
a blister on a mule's assthrough a brick wall that makes
no sense, but that's funny burna blister on a mule's ass
through a brick wall yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I say that too, don't you say?
Well, butter my butt and callme a biscuit, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, that's like.
Oh my goodness, that's another.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
There are so many, I mean I really want to write them
all down, some of the stuffthat my grandparents would say I
guess.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
so, god, you need to write them down before you
forget them.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
I had a great aunt.
That was a great, great lady,great lady.
She raised 13 kids.
She was a wonderful woman.
But, she always would crack meup and of course I never said
anything.
But she would say it got cold.
Last night I had to kiver mymaters up.
(49:36):
Kiver instead of cover shedidn't say cover, she said kiver
, mm-hmm, and I was like as akid.
I didn't know what that was.
The first time I heard her saythat I was like kiver the maters
.
I'm like, okay, that's tomatoes, mm-hmm.
So I kept my mouth shut, whichis, you know, I knew better than
(49:57):
to say anything.
But when we left I was likeGrandma what?
Does kiver mean?
She said oh, that means cover.
And I was like well, it didn'tsound like it.
She said kiver, and she's likewell, son, that's just the way
she talks.
Oh my gosh, that's crazy kiver.
(50:25):
And then still older.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
A lot of older people say and my dad says this change
hadn't had it.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
I'm like are you gonna do this for me?
Speaker 1 (50:30):
what son, I just hadn't had a change, or light
bub instead of light bulb bub,my grandmother said bubs,
christmas bubs, yeah, justtotally leaves out the L.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, no, l Bubs, light bub needs changed.
The other thing I have an auntthat says this Instead of milk
she says milk Milk.
There's like M-Y-I-L-K.
Milk, milk Milk.
Get the Milk Milk, get the milk, milk Milk.
(51:05):
Okay, milk Milk, it is.
Oh, my goodness, yeah, Ithought I could write a whole
book on that kind of stuff, andjust stuff we ate.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
I had a coffee while we were doing the podcast and I
kind of feel aggressive.
Now I'm going to match yourmood because I really just want
to slap the shit out of youabout this cantaloupe and gravy.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
I don't know why I think you should, because I
could really use to just beatthe shit out of you.
It makes me aggressive, it isso I mean, I'm not joking.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
I know, and we're not getting back on it I believe
you.
I mean, obviously you're notthe only person, so I don't
believe you and you know I'm apicky eater.
I'm just even more baffled thatit's hot.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Well, I mean, did you think you were going to put it
in the fridge?
Let it cool down, pull it outand put gravy?
I mean, what did you think itwas?
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
No, that's not any more than I give up Pull this
bitch over.
It's just, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
It's the sweet, sweet and salty.
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Is your cantaloupe cubed and just in the gravy, or
do you take like a half?
Speaker 2 (52:21):
No, you do a slice and you put the slices on your
plate and you pour the gravyover it and then you cut it up
as you go.
You want as much gravy on thatpiece as you can get.
Makes me want it right now.
Speaker 1 (52:37):
I just want to throw up in this floor.
It's one of those things.
It's even more baffling becauseI had it pictured one way.
It's already bad and I had itpictured bad.
Cantaloupe and gravy isdisgusting.
But I did have it pictured coldand now it somehow got worse.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
It's hot gravy.
You know what Dylan was tellingme and you know every family
has, I think their differentlittle things and I guess we're
going to beat this dead horseHis family has, you know, grit.
We all eat grit, grits isSouthern, we don't eat grits.
Yeah, 99% of all Southernpeople eat grits, and if you
(53:17):
know how to cook grits, they'reamazing.
You don't use the ones in alittle packet.
You make good grits ground Ithink grit stone ground.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
I know that is a southern thing, but I think it's
way more popular here in southcarolina than like other places
I really do and with like shrimpand grits.
I ain't ever heard of thatuntil I moved to South.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
Carolina shrimp and grits is a low country thing.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
I think grits in general is more.
I'm not saying it's not asouthern thing.
There's grit meals and stufflike that and I'm not saying
it's not a southern thing, but Ifeel like it's more, like it
may be a North Carolina,tennessee, south Carolina, this
sort of region thing, but I feellike it's more like East.
Tennessee, south Carolina likethis sort of region.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
I grew up.
I like my grits with cheese anda lot of black pepper and
butter.
Dylan grew up and he always.
They put great jelly in theirgrits.
That seems so weird to mebecause the way I grew up if you
wanted a sweet something, youhad cream of wheat and you would
(54:29):
put sugar in your cream ofwheat or your oatmeal, but grits
was always savory.
So I tried it one day and putsome grape jelly in there and it
wasn't bad.
It was different, but it wasn'tbad, just a different taste.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
So grits are consumed most heavily in the American
grits belt, a region thatstretches from southern Virginia
and then it goes down, so likedown into Texas, but South
Carolina, which has, and that'swhere three-quarters of all
(55:10):
grits is sold, and SouthCarolina has declared grits its
official state food.
Yeah, I'm telling you it's waymore popular.
East Tennessee, so I guess.
Virginia, the East Coast, I'mtelling you it's way more
popular.
East Tennessee, so I guess.
Virginia and down Southern EastCoast.
Yeah, then it was Grits aregreat.
Speaker 2 (55:30):
So, when you're going to come here.
Any breakfast restaurant you goto, there's going to be grits
on the menu.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
It's true.
And they're good I have.
I mean, I've never seen so manygrit options until moving here.
Seriously, like it is a muchmore common thing than other
southern places.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
I guess I never thought about it because I've
always lived in South Carolina,and I always I mean even years
ago.
Mcdonald's sold grits, Mm-hmm,and let me tell you, when we did
it you had to let your old ladybiscuit maker make them, or
they wasn't fit to eat.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
That's why they ain't on the menu anymore, because
they wasn't.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
yeah you got somebody that don't know how to make
grits.
That's true, you can get nastyquick.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
It is true.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Uh-huh, let's see You're over there scrolling a
lot today.
I feel like you're a little bitdistracted and he's also a
little aggressive today, so hemay throw me out of this car.
I don't know.
I could tell he was in a moodtoday, not in a bad mood, not in
a bad.
I didn't say bad, I saidaggressive.
(01:51):
You're a little aggressive,like you could slap somebody or
something.
Or road rage yeah, yeah,exactly, I could see you
Speaking of that.
I love funny road rage issues,funny ones, not you know nothing
criminal, but I was watchingone.
It popped up on social media.
(02:13):
There was this motorcycle, thisbig guy on this motorcycle, and
he was road raging.
It was like at a red light.
So he went to pass this car.
They were stopped at a redlight.
So he went to pass this car andthey were stopped at the red
light.
But I guess he was gonna turnright and go and the car was
going straight.
So he went by the car and hewent to kick the car like
(02:34):
sidekick it and it knocked himover and his boot came off.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It didn't hurt him, but I was like that is karma I
don't wish anyone hurt, but ifyou do something like that,
right, that's what was funny,that is karma.
I don't wish anyone hurt, butif you do something like that,
right, that's what was funny,that's what I'm saying it was
funny.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No one was hurt.
He was just gonna kick the sideof their car, but it knocked
him over and he had a, like youknow, big, nice motorcycle years
ago, a guy on a motorcycle wassome redneck, of course, no.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No.
Came down our street and my dogwas you know, loved to chase a
car and she started chasing themotorcycle and he went to kick
her uh and default over and hewrecked and like knocked some of
his out, which I was so happyhe did oh my.
(03:27):
God, I seriously.
It was bad.
An ambulance had to get him buthe killed my dog.
He hit her when he went to kickher.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So I mean, I was young but I was like that was a
curveball in the store.
I was like I hope he dies.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
My mother was like honey, we don't.
And I'm like well, that wasjust mean.
He was being mean to an animal.
I know she shouldn't have beenchasing, but she wasn't Right.
Come on now.
She was 12 inches tall.
Yeah, what an ass.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I know, jerk, poor dog.
Speaking of pets, I do have afunny story you know, about this
.
So if you've been here andlistened because I think we
talked about it on the podcastand I know I've showed in my
stories a few weeks months ago,back in July, right after July,
july, right after 4th of July,we got a new kitten.
(04:23):
One of our employees lives outin the country and a cat showed
up and she was like, will youtake this cat?
It was a little baby kitten andI was like sure we'll take it.
It's been a few years sincewe've gotten the new one.
We just have two hanging aroundthe farm that are ours, that we
claim, and there's wild catsthat come around that also eat
(04:47):
our food and stuff like that,but we don't care because they
keep things.
So it's like it's a fine timeto get a kitten.
We don't have much going on.
Kittens are easy.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
it's not in our house or anything well, you tried
that, but then it shit the wholehouse well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It wasn't intended to be in the house, but it was so
little.
We always start them in thehouse, even even the other one,
because that's so much fun Iknow it's not fun, but it the
last few have not been bad.
And then you know, once they'reold enough, then we just they
hang out on the porch and thenthey'll hang out in the garage
and then they move on to thefarm and one lives in the
(05:20):
workshop it.
They take up homes whereverthey decide on the farm.
So this kitten showed up.
It was pretty skittish, feral Iguess, you would say, and I had
to go to market with you and sowe had it for about a week and
in that week time it became alot more coming around,
(05:42):
friendlier, was getting used tothings.
It was in our house, it wouldhide all day.
Well, I left for market andleft the cat with Daniel and the
shit hit the fan literally.
So I don't know.
This cat, I guess, has bondedwith me, like it responds to me.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It ain't bonded too much.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Not too much, but more than anything.
And so I don't know if leavingdisrupted it or whatever.
But while I was gone to market,all of a sudden Daniel like
after a couple of days, the catwas staying upstairs, where we
don't really go or whatever, andit was hiding out, but it would
come down to eat, use thelitter box, blah, blah, blah.
Well, anyway, long story short,this cat Daniel came upstairs
(06:29):
while I was gone and the cat hadstarted shitting all over the
guest room Like it was adisaster.
So he had to spend like fourhours cleaning everything,
soaking all the comforter, youknow, because we don't do, we
don't do that kind of thing.
Stephen likes to make fun of usand living in the country and
(06:50):
whatever, but we don't, we clean, we clean.
So he was like, okay, this cathas got to go and Daniel hasn't
grown up with like a lot of petsand stuff and not no cats.
And I was like it's fine.
I said just put it in ourgarage because I'm gone anyway
and it's really big enough andit has a cat.
(07:11):
It has a dog door, cat door.
I said it will just hang out inthere, put its litter box and
just feed it every day it willbe fine.
Like it's so skittish it's noteven going to go anywhere until
I get back or whatever.
And so it's been living in ourgarage ever since mid-July and
it's gotten slowly where it'scoming out at a hangout and it
(07:32):
goes back in there at night.
You know there's, you know howa garage is, it sleeps wherever
and all that Well.
So the cat's been here.
Well, about a week ago I waslike, oh, I just call him Mr
Cause it's a boy cat.
I'm like Mr Kitty's gone.
I told Daniel cause we had justI have been going out and I
will feed it, and every time Ifeed it I try to hold it for at
(07:55):
least like five minutes.
I'll flip it over on its back,get it more comfortable fine.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Well, one day I didn't see it and I was like, oh
, it's just out somewhere.
Next day I was like, well, Ididn't see it yesterday and I
hadn't seen it today, so Thoughtof Fox or Cody.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, I just put out more food and then I didn't even
think anything about it.
Then a couple of more days wenton and I told Daniel.
I was like Mr Kitty's been gonefor like a few days now.
I guess something got it.
And then yesterday I had evensaid to Daniel I was like I just
can't believe the little cat'sgone.
So it's been gone for like aweek and you hadn't mentioned
(08:32):
any of that to me.
No, because I kind of thought,well, is it coming back?
Did it find a place on the farm?
Is it gone?
Gone, you know, did somethingget it?
But I even said to Daniel I waslike I really can't believe
something got it because itwasn't going out anywhere and we
don't have and it was probablyso spry like little and fast
Right.
(08:52):
And we don't have predatorsright next to our house.
I could see if it went out inthe woods or something like that
, but kind of right by our houseI don't ever see signs of
anything really.
So I was like that's really odd, because cats are pretty, you
know, I don't know with it, soanyway that was the cat, and
they can climb a tree.
(09:13):
Yeah, so I had literally saidthat yesterday, wouldn't you
know?
Last night, which was Sunday,stephen and I were doing a live
sale over at the warehouse andwe came out, we were getting in
our cars, which is probably 15miles from here.
it's like seven, yeah, like 17miles okay, 17 miles it takes me
like 20 minutes, and so we werestanding out about to get in
(09:37):
our cars and just talking like,oh, that was good, see you
tomorrow, blah, blah, we'regonna record podcast.
And I see this cat, like ourwarehouse also sits off of a
main road and there's a building, a strip mall, that sits not
directly in front of us but wayclose to the road.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Now, you said there's that cat and I'm like what in?
The hell are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think there's that cat, yeah, and he's like what
are you talking?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
about.
I think there's that cat, yeah,and he's like what are you
talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And I said I don't know if I've told you, but our
little cat's been missing.
And I said I swear it just ranin front of that strip mall,
like the one in front of us,like it was kind of the side,
and I just saw it like jut infront of that and both of us
were like oh, it rode over inthe truck, yeah.
So, steve, I was like you cango ahead and go home.
(10:26):
I'm going to walk around andsee if I can find this cat.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Well, I knew I would scare it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, so Stephen leaves and I walk around this
other strip mall and thenthere's an old changing place
and there's a Waffle House and Iwas like I don't see it
anywhere.
So I made the rounds I didn'tsee it and I got back in my
truck and I was like, well, I'lljust drive around as I'm
leaving.
Well, there was the cat pokingits head out of a storm drain or
(10:51):
whatever you know how, likethere's a sidewalk and I pulled
up and I was like Mr Kitty andit started meowing.
Well then it ran into the stormtrain.
You know so I'm the storm drain.
You know so I'm out there,probably looking like a fool,
with my flashlight on my phone.
Trying to get this cat out ofthe storm drain took me like
five minutes, but it was our cat.
(11:12):
It had ridden to the warehouse,I guess up in the truck
underneath it somehow.
I guess it had probably gottenspooked and ran up under my
truck.
And then I jumped in and wentto the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, you remember the story I told on here,
because the crazy lady thatlives in the town homes next
door to the meal yeah, I mean,this is a nut.
She's a nut.
I hope she listens to this.
You're a nut.
See, I told you I'm a littleaggressive today.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You are aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It was like around Christmas.
Yeah, she was driving me crazy,because she woke up and, for
whatever reason, thought sheowned Meal's Meal Right and
started taping Because she wasnext door to the meal, wasn't
even a meal owner, no, no, shewas not an owner there and
started taping her cat, hermissing cat, and you know I'm an
(12:08):
animal lover and I you know Iam a nice person so I kind of
just you.
I was like okay, well, I get it, she wants her cat yeah oh my
gosh, it went on and on and on.
We had to say, hey, stop putting.
I mean she came over and tapedon our doors.
(12:31):
I mean it was excessive, yeah,and like, how are you even
getting in, like you nut.
So come to find out, the catturned up.
So they had guests on ChristmasDay or Christmas Eve the cat
crawled up into the enginesomewhere warm and had ridden
(12:55):
almost two hours away, almost toAtlanta, and they didn't know
like their family had never seentheir cat.
And then just throughconversations, like six weeks
later, and they didn't know liketheir family had never seen
their cat, yeah.
And then just throughconversations, like six weeks
later, oh, we had this cat takeup here after Christmas.
And they were like, oh well,send me a picture.
(13:16):
And she's like, oh, my gosh,that's my cat.
It rode two hours.
That's crazy.
So I mean, it rode two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's crazy.
So I mean, now I got to findout, figure out how to leave and
make sure the cat's not in mytruck, because I don't.
Also, I don't park in the.
I haven't been parking in thegarage with the cat there, I
park outside of it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
But I'm thinking it was outside, maybe toot the horn
a few times before.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Yeah, you think it would jump down and run out.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't know here, kitty, kitty, I mean hopefully
it won't get into the fan andhave cat soup out there.
I would be so mortified, butyou know if you grow up in the
country.
That's a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, I called Daniel on the way home and I said, hey
, I'm on the way home from thewarehouse.
I said guess who's with me?
He was like huh.
I was like Mr Kitty, I foundthe little kitty and he was like
what?
So I was telling him the storyand he was so baffled by like
(14:21):
what do you mean?
It rode in the truck, like inthe bed, and I was like no, like
cats will get up in your car ortruck.
There's compartments they'llride on.
No way, I've never heard ofthat.
I was like you are so citysometimes.
Yeah, yeah, that's a thing,yeah, and especially like when
(14:44):
it gets cold, sometimes they'lldo it for the warmth or
something like that.
And I've heard it more withlike kittens.
Maybe they get smarter.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well and see we had had a few cooler nights, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I'm thinking what happened?
Is it got spooked?
Probably the dogs ran out orsomething and then it ran under
my car and jumped up in therebecause they couldn't get to it.
I'm glad it didn't get hurt.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I know I'm glad it didn't get ran over on that four
lane highway.
I know I'm just like that's,it's so baffling to me Was it
hungry when it got home?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, I mean like normal hungry, but it wasn't
like crazy.
But you know we're right by aWaffle House.
And a chicken wang place it wasout there having some wang, it
was probably happier than it isnow.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
That cat's going to be like.
I got to get back out there.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
It's going to be like hey, can I ride with you?
I need a snack.
Oh my gosh, I know.
I was just so like.
It was just so funny, Likewhat's the chances of walking
out?
At the exact moment it justhappened to cross right in and
it wasn't even right in front ofus.
I mean, that's probably what,like I don't know, a couple of
(15:59):
hundred feet away, I mean a longdistance, I just saw this flash
of a cat and I was like I thinkthat's our cat, but I don't
know.
Yeah, it was hanging out at theWaffle House in the Wang Place,
so it was probably having somegood meals.
Maybe we should just take it tothe warehouse and let it be a
warehouse kitty inside.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
No.
It can hang out in thewarehouse?
No, that's all we need.
Is it peeing on boxes and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh, that cat would get shipped to somebody.
It'd be like, oh, your catshowed up in my box or something
crazy like that.
But anyway, I was just likethis is bad.
I've never had that sort ofthing happen because I was like
well, Kitty's gone.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well see, I would have thought, well, something
got it, Because you do have afox every now and then.
Yeah, I mean, that's what Ifigured.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was like well, I guess something really did get
it.
Maybe it was wandering off atnight further than I thought, or
something.
What about the meal?
You have an update on the firesituation.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Insurance is.
You know, everyone's insuranceis working on everything and
we've had one, two, three, we'vehad four people had to move out
, dang.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Until it gets fixed yeah.
Just damages, but you said theywere already starting to rip
out the walls in the hallways.
Yeah, yeah, is that a mess?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, it's a mess, but it hasn't been that bad
that's good it hasn't been thatbad for us and so we're just
taking our shoes off at the door, you know, just because of
sheetrock dust.
Oh yeah, we don't want to duststuff in there, nothing like
that, that, but I do.
(17:44):
I still feel bad for all thepeople that it affected, but it
could have been so much worse.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, moving on from that, I want to know, because
you gave me a little teaserbefore we sat down.
You said I have an update onthe Visa MasterCard situation
which, if you haven't been herefor this way back, this has been
going on for years but wetalked about it on the podcast.
(18:13):
I know at least one or two times.
Visa MasterCard was charging alot of I think everybody
businesses.
There was a miscalculation,something, something on the
credit card processing fee.
They were charging merchantsand it wasn't just McDonald's,
it was a lot of merchants.
(18:34):
It wasn't calculated right tothe agreement that you know you
sign up if you don't know.
When you're a business ownerlike to accept Visa, mastercard,
american Express, discover,they each set their own.
They take a percentage from thebusiness, so it could be 3%,
2.75%, there's all these things,and if you're a big company
like McDonald's, you can evennegotiate.
(18:58):
You know those percentages andthat sort of thing.
So there has been this classaction lawsuit going on, for, I
mean, you have been talkingabout this for Eight years Okay,
eight years and even thoughSteven has though, stephen has
sold his McDonald's and moved on, you were an owner at the time.
(19:18):
So you're in this class actionlawsuit that we keep laughing
about because some people thinkthey're going to get lots of
money and then Stephen said it'sgoing to be pennies.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I'm like you know I've laughed about it.
I'm like I'm not gonna be and Iknow they, I know that they,
they took I mean I ran thereports.
They took thousands andthousands of dollars for me.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
But I'm not stupid, I'm not gonna get it back yeah,
I think we talked aboutsplitting it on the podcast.
I have to go back.
No, I'm serious.
I think we talked aboutsplitting it on the podcast.
I have to go back.
No, I'm serious.
I think we said we need tosplit the check when it comes in
.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm going to open the check here on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Okay, so tell us the update.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
It just says it's from the attorney.
Hope you've had a wonderfulsummer Update on the settlement.
All the appellate courtsthey've ran up through all of
(20:27):
that.
They have to pay and it'sbillions of dollars.
And then it says refund timingBased on our experience, we
anticipate the claimsadministrator to take at least
18 months from February 2025.
Oh, good Lord.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
To complete their review, I don't know if you'll
be opening that check on thispodcast or not, because I don't
know if I'll be here in 18months here in 18 months.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
We currently estimate final refunds to be issued in
the second half of 2026.
And it you know, refund amountblah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Which you don't know until you get the check, because
they'll do it on a case-by-case.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, don't know what it is, and that firm in Texas
is taking because you had tosign up with a firm.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Yeah, you had to sign up with the class action so
they're going to get theirpercentage.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Listen, I wasn't even going to do it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, I got the.
I could have signed up for itbecause I had the store, but I
was like I'm not signing up Forme, that would be nothing, I'm
not signing.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
For me that would be nothing, I'm not gonna do it.
And um, then they, the attorney, contacted me, I guess because
of through mcdonald's, and I waslike it literally was an online
form and I had to submit mysales.
It was literally took me 20minutes.
I was like, well, I mean, itreally is my money.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Well, first of all, if they're getting sued and they
did the wrong thing, theyshould have to refund anybody
who had a merchant agreement atthe time.
It should be an automatic.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
It should be an automatic.
You shouldn't have to give 30%to a law firm.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And my thing is and if you do, that's fine, but I
feel like it should be theyrepresent everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, I just think it's so and I guess the reason
you had to sign up because youhave to provide your sales
information and you have towaive that you can't turn around
and sue separately and it's allRules and regulations.
Yeah, I had one owner say thiscould be a lot of money.
I had two and I said, yeah, itcould be, but it ain't going to
(22:42):
be.
I will not get enough to buy mea pair of shoes.
That was my first comment.
Now my opinion is I don't thinkI'll get enough to buy me lunch
.
I think it will seriously belike $30.82.
Yeah, and you know what?
That's fine, it's $30 more thanI had.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And it was mine.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You know who's going to make out?
Is that attorney, all theseattorneys, yeah, I mean they're
going to make millions.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That's what they live for.
I mean, that's their business,which you know.
What Good for them you go girls.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm a little shocked though that Visa MasterCard
would.
I'm a shocked that that wouldhappen.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I am, but you know, I mean, I'm not defending anyone.
It could have been a mis.
It could have been a mis, itcould have been a clerical error
.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It could have been a data entry person keying
something like instead of 2.03,they could have accidentally put
2.05.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, or 3.0 or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I mean it could have been that simple.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, so I don't know .
It's one of those things.
Oh well, I thought you had amoney number update I was I
thought I was buying mesomething.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a starbucks.
I mean it would be so fun, itwould be so fun and so funny if
it were like really somethingbig.
But it won't be.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I mean it can't be that big, but I want you to open
it and see.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
It'd be for a good laugh.
Well, it's going to behysterical if it's like $1.87.
Yeah, that's going to be even.
Oh my gosh, I think I may evenframe it.
I might not even cash that.
Yeah, that's just too good toWon my class action.
I won it, you know.
The funny thing is, you know,you, you nor I.
(24:45):
We've never sued anyone in ourlife, right, um, but there are
those people.
There's those people, thatthat's their mentality yeah.
I mean, I had one lady one timehere in in the in the Moonfield
McDonald's.
She obviously didn't know who Iwas, but I was sitting at a
(25:08):
table doing office work Causethat's what I would do Go to
McDonald's, to McDonald's andshe literally laid down in the
floor and then did this oh, likeshe had fallen.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yes, I love those on social media too.
You know there's cameraseverywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Well, I didn't have this was before digital was
affordable and I had not putcameras in yet I did right after
.
Yeah, do you know that heifergot like a lot of not like?
She's not like independentlywealthy now, but she got
thousands and I was like I wassitting there Right, she laid in
(25:52):
the floor Right and nothing.
Now you're not going to getaway with it.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, you know, I had the lady I forgot at Roots that
sued me for that went onforever too.
Oh, fat ass Still a customertoo.
How do you come back in andshow your face?
She sued.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Thankfully I had insurance, but it wasn't truly,
it wasn't even on the business,because her fat ass was in the
parking lot.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yes, but she had been in the store.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I mean it really was bogus.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
She was in our store but was outside in the parking
lot for a multi-store unit.
So it was in the parking lot,wasn't in the store.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Was it ice.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
She said she tripped on or something.
It wasn't even that icy andmaybe she did, I don't even know
.
But she tried to milk that foryears and years.
And here's the thing she wastoo greedy because the insurance
company was just going to do apayout.
(27:10):
You know, there's like a baseautomatic, like like hey, just a
settlement for like it was alot, like I was surprised
because my insurance was goingto pay and the building
insurance was going to pay.
So she would have probablygotten I'm guesstimating, but I
think just from mine was like20,000 and probably something
equal from them or maybe not,but whatever she would have just
(27:32):
gotten.
But she something equal fromthem or maybe not, but whatever
she would have just gotten.
But she was saying she wastrying to sue for, like I don't
know, 200,000 or whatever thather knee, blah, blah, blah.
Well, you know, you don't playwith the insurance company.
If you're going to do that, ifyou're listening and you're in
something like this, take thepayout, because they got the
money to go on.
(27:54):
So they dug deep.
She had already okay.
So she was saying it hurt herknee and she was going to have
to have knee surgery.
She had been in a marathon anddamaged her knee and already had
pre-existing knee problems.
She had already been told by adoctor that she was going to
have to have knee surgeryreplaced.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
A marathon.
She had been some kind of Idon't know, Was she chasing a?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
donut truck.
I don't know, but there wassome kind of thing like that.
I mean, I guess she was youngerat one time and maybe a little
more fit, I don't know, or maybeall that weight just blew her
knees out, I don't know.
Anyway, she ended up gettingnothing Like nothing.
It went on for like five yearsand then she got nothing because
it was all pre-existing andwasn't due to the yeah, I had
(28:45):
one in McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
She'll probably come in and fall next week.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's fine, we got cameras.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But how are you going to show back up and act like I
mean, because I had to go liketo a lawyer's office and give
reports and provide all thisstuff, and it was on, and on,
and on and on.
And then you go show up.
Hey, I brought my containers.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
There's this one family.
I do not remember their name,but they this was my last
lawsuit, um, I had I had a lot.
I could write a book onlawsuits.
Um, they claimed that they weretaking their kid to camp and
(29:32):
they got sausage biscuits.
Okay, there's a lot going onhere with I remember you talked
about this they got the kid gotsalmonella.
Okay, that can happen from crosscontamination, but just so you
know, there are specific hoursthat it takes to start getting
(29:58):
sick and one person doesn't getsalmonella it does not work that
way, because it's going to becontaminated, because when it's
cross-contamination, like in thebreakfast, from a piece of
chicken on a chicken biscuit.
You're going to have multiplepeople.
Well, and see, these crookedpeople don't realize that all
(30:20):
that food is fake.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
No, I'm just kidding.
There ain't no chicken juicethere anyway.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yes, there is, don't make me don't go there.
But they don't realize, likeall of your local health
departments track that.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Right, that's a big deal, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's how they getrecalls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, you know Well, they never called to complain to
anyone at the restaurant.
They had no receipt.
So have they ever been?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
They finally called the health department at some
point.
The health department saidthere have been zero cases.
Yeah, zero, so nothing added up.
But yet they still sued me.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
And I was like okay, so I knew it was bogus and my
attorney hired an epidemiologistfrom UNC.
Chapel Hill and they were likeain't possible Like this did not
(31:36):
happen If this happened.
This did not happen this way.
So I said, okay, I'm going tosue them.
And I said, and my attorney waslike okay, they have a car, a
truck, a small brick house and acamper.
There ain't nothing to get.
And I said, well, I don't havea small brick house.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I don't have a camper .
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And I don't have a truck.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You could use all three.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I could use all three , and you know, and he laughed.
You know, my attorney was inCharleston.
He laughed.
He was like I hear you, butseriously, these people have
nothing.
So I just let it go on and onand on and eventually I had to
settle because it was holding upthe, it was holding up the sale
(32:27):
of my business, yeah.
So I was like but, yeah,they'll do any.
These people will do anything.
It's the same people that youget in a bump up and they're
fine, and all of a suddenthey're on a stretcher oh my
goodness, that is crazy oh andfunny story.
(32:52):
When I sold the business, thenew owner, I went with him to
open, to change utilities andopen bank accounts.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
And the lady that sued me waited on us at the bank
.
She was a local banker.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
You know, that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm like, okay, this crook is taking people's money.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
One thing I want to mention really quickly, moving

This is so dumb.
Okay, hmm, okay.
What else you got for usSouthernisms?
Are you Southernism?
You know you were supposed tohave these segments.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I always have.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Oh good, Do you got something yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
So I say I've said, but I use both of these.
The first one is I swanny.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Didn't we talk about I swanny?
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I don't know if we've talked about.
I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I think I talked about.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
I swanny.
Do you know what I swanny?
Do you know what swanny is?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
It's like I swear.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, so you're not swearing, oh.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I swanny Well, I swear yeah, so you're not
swearing.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh, I swanny, well.
I swanny, well, I swanny Ididn't see you coming up the
driveway.
Yeah, the other, as I know wehaven't had talked about this
one is what in the Sam Hill?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Or I thought it was hail no, what in the Sam?
Hail no yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
No, it was Hale.
What in the Sam Hale?
No, no, it isn't.
What in the Sam Hill?
Where do you come up with it?
I thought it was Sam Hale.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
That's what it says.
What in the Sam Hill Oftenshort ended for what shortened
to what in the Sam Hale?
No, it's Sam what shortened towhat in the Sam hell.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
No, it's Sam.
The original is what in the Samhill and it came from a man
that was named Sam hill thatcursed all the time.
So rather than cursing likesaying what in the blankety
blank, people would say what inthe Sam hill.
So if you're moving to theSouth and somebody says what in
(38:54):
the blankety blank, people wouldsay what in the Sam Hill.
So if you're moving to thesouth and somebody says what in
the Sam Hill, it means what inthe blankety blank?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Well, sam Hill is a thing, it talks about it.
It's just got from Sam Hill toSam Hill.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I say Sam Hill, I say it correctly.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
What in the Sam Hill?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
What in Sam's Hill have you got in your hands?
Because, sam Hill, that doesn'teven make sense, because you're
putting a bad word in withsomething and the whole purpose
of saying Sam Hill is not to saya bad word.
So how does that make sense?
I don't know.
That's like saying what in Samshit.
(39:37):
I mean, you're saying what inSam Hill, so you're not using
bad language.
Well, I mean, it's got to bevery confusing if you're from up
north and move to the south.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Oh, I thought you were going to say to be in my
head.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Well and to be in your head.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
But, sam Hill, there is a whole thing.
It's right here Google it.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
That is for dumb people that don't know how it
originally came about and thepurpose of it.
It's for dumb Dumb.
It says in there.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
dumb people say what in the Sam hell, oh my gosh.
Well, what else you got?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
That's it of Southernisms.
One thing I've been seeing popup on Instagram lately and it's
funny.
I don't really know why and Inever liked this as a kid, but I
really want to try it to see,to confirm, because my taste, my
taste buds, have significantlychanged since I was a kid.
(40:43):
Like things I would not eat asa kid I will eat now.
Yeah, um, certain things I'mjust never gonna try because it
was just such a horrible thinglike liver.
I'm not gonna eat liver, I'mnever trying it again.
And but pear salad, did youever eat that?
I tried it, I think, one timein my life at like a church
(41:04):
potluck.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I'm sure we all have.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
We talked about that not that long ago, half a pear
with a dip of mayonnaise,cheddar cheese and a maraschino
cherry Gross as hell.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Oh no, we were talking about it.
I tasted it one time and Ithink I spit it out.
Someone brought it up when Iwas going through I'm pretty
sure we talked about it messagesbecause they said that's what
they would do when they couldn'thave the cantaloupe and gravy
that you brought up, whichgagged me.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
You know, that's a big thing now.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
But it's not a big thing, let's not get carried
away.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Dozens of people reached out Well we'll leave
that there.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But anyway they were saying, if they couldn't have
that, the cantaloupe and gravy.
I don't know why that makes megag a little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
It is so good, just this slimy texture of cantaloupe
and then wet gravy on it.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Hot oh, and hot yeah, it's hot gravy.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
It's hot gravy.
Well, what did you think youwere putting cold gravy?
Who eats cold?
Speaker 1 (42:13):
gravy.
Who eats cantaloupe and gravy?
You're putting hot gravy oncantaloupe.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
What you do is you put the cantaloupe in your plate
and you put the gravy in you.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, so you got cold cantaloupe?
Yes, because you ain't eating acantaloupe hot or room temp.
So you have cold cantaloupebecause it's a melon and you're
putting hot ass gravy on it.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Like white gravy, milk gravy.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
I thought it would be cold on top of that.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Why would you eat that?
Speaker 1 (42:52):
That is so gross.
Oh, that's gross.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
That's where we draw the line.
Y'all, I want y'all to all sendmessages again and say, oh, we
love that Because I had so manypeople reach out to me which
they sent it into the hotline.
Oh, yes, we eat that.
Speaker 1 (43:13):
That is a Southern delicacy I love we draw the line
at the gravy being cold.
It's so good.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Actually I don't even like melon without gravy.
I haven't had it in so long.
If I went to a restaurant andthey had cantaloupe with milk
gravy, I would order it.
It is so good.
It's like you're sweet andsalty.
You're hot and cold.
It's just good.
It's like you're sweet andsalty, You're hot and cold.
(43:42):
It's just good If you ate ityou would like it.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
No, you would Just like.
I'm not going to like the pearsalad either, or whatever they
call it.
It's half pears.
I can picture it.
It had to be from church, youknow the church potluck.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
It had to be, but I thought it was awful and it's
mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
It's a Dollop of mayonnaise Because you take out
the center of the pear or thepit, so it makes a little bowl
in there you put the mayonnaisethere, Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
Top it with shredded cheddar cheese oh yeah, that's
what it was shredded.
And then you put a maraschinocherry on top.
That just seems so gross.
I hated it as a kid, but wouldI like it now Because I like
pears, I like cheddar cheese, Ilike maraschino cherries, I like
mayonnaise.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Well, I like cantaloupe and I like gravy, but
I'm not eating white gravy on.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
You do not know what you're missing with that.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
You really do not.
I mean it is.
I would say, we would try it,but you can't make white gravy,
so who can make us?
I guess I could look up.
I can make white gravy.
You ain't ever cooked no damnwhite gravy.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yes, I have, oh, yes.
White gravy is not hard.
I'm up in the kitchen all thetime.
I can cook it.
I don't Mm-hmm, you just cook,you just put your flour in there
after you fry your chicken.
Mm-hmm.
I think that that's the bestgravy, with cantaloupe,
(45:24):
personally, but you could usesausage gravy.
I can't have any meat in it,though.
Well, you have to use yourdrippings from the meat.
We can use some meat.
It's not the same, it's justthe.
It's basically there's no meatin it.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
It's just the it's basically.
There's no meat in it.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
It's just the bread and you put your, you get your
roux, you cook your flour andthen you gradually add your milk
and it thickens up.
And then you got your gravy?
It's not hard.
But if you want some nastygravy, don't cook your flour,
and then you end up with ittastes like raw flour, oh gross.
(46:05):
So you can always tell somebodythat doesn't know how to cook
that try to make gravy, becausethey just throw all that in
there.
They don't cook their flour andmake their roux.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
They just dump it all together, dump it all in there,
and then it tastes.
Yeah, we don't want no bad gravy.
I don't know if I'm really agravy fan, though I mean I like
I don't know.
I don't know.
My grandmother used to makethat kind of gravy for breakfast
(46:39):
, on biscuits, you know, withthe sausage.
Old Bobby, that was so good,see, I don't think I really
loved it then as a kid.
I mean, maybe I did smotheredon the biscuits and stuff.
I can remember it, but it kindof makes me a little gaggy, so
I'm not sure if I liked it ordidn't like it.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
I'm very choosy about gravy too.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I know my brothers loved it.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
I don't like a lot of grease in my gravy.
Like I like it, more flour milkcreamier.
Yeah, I tell you who has somegross-ass gravy.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
Oh, do tell.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
The Marriott Marquis in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Well, you know, that's probably from a bag mix
or something.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
It's like dog food Gross it is.
So I look at it and I'm likewhat are you?
You're not gravy, it's likeleftover bacon and grease with a
little flour thrown in it.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
It just looks disgusting.
Here's two Southernisms thatI'm reading through that I've
heard.
He hasn't got the sense.
God gave a goose.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
I've never used that.
You never used that one.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
Mm-mm, I mean that means they're dumb.
Basically, what about the porchlight's on, but no one's home?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah, I don't think that's really a Southern thing,
though.
Now I love one of my dad'sfavorites that he still says all
the time, like if somebody'sugly, he'll.
He'll say, because my dad,every sentence contains
something I need to startjotting them down.
He'll say that woman's, thatwoman is so ugly she could burn
(48:31):
a blister on a mule's assthrough a brick wall that makes
no sense, but that's funny burna blister on a mule's ass
through a brick wall yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I say that too, don't you say?
Well, butter my butt and callme a biscuit, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah, that's like.
Oh my goodness, that's another.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
There are so many, I mean I really want to write them
all down, some of the stuffthat my grandparents would say I
guess.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
so, god, you need to write them down before you
forget them.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
I had a great aunt.
That was a great, great lady,great lady.
She raised 13 kids.
She was a wonderful woman.
But, she always would crack meup and of course I never said
anything.
But she would say it got cold.
Last night I had to kiver mymaters up.
(49:36):
Kiver instead of cover shedidn't say cover, she said kiver
, mm-hmm, and I was like as akid.
I didn't know what that was.
The first time I heard her saythat I was like kiver the maters
.
I'm like, okay, that's tomatoes, mm-hmm.
So I kept my mouth shut, whichis, you know, I knew better than
(49:57):
to say anything.
But when we left I was likeGrandma what?
Does kiver mean?
She said oh, that means cover.
And I was like well, it didn'tsound like it.
She said kiver, and she's likewell, son, that's just the way
she talks.
Oh my gosh, that's crazy kiver.
(50:25):
And then still older.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
A lot of older people say and my dad says this change
hadn't had it.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
I'm like are you gonna do this for me?
Speaker 1 (50:30):
what son, I just hadn't had a change, or light
bub instead of light bulb bub,my grandmother said bubs,
christmas bubs, yeah, justtotally leaves out the L.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
Yeah, no, l Bubs, light bub needs changed.
The other thing I have an auntthat says this Instead of milk
she says milk Milk.
There's like M-Y-I-L-K.
Milk, milk Milk.
Get the Milk Milk, get the milk, milk Milk.
(51:05):
Okay, milk Milk, it is.
Oh, my goodness, yeah, Ithought I could write a whole
book on that kind of stuff, andjust stuff we ate.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
I had a coffee while we were doing the podcast and I
kind of feel aggressive.
Now I'm going to match yourmood because I really just want
to slap the shit out of youabout this cantaloupe and gravy.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
I don't know why I think you should, because I
could really use to just beatthe shit out of you.
It makes me aggressive, it isso I mean, I'm not joking.
Speaker 1 (51:39):
I know, and we're not getting back on it I believe
you.
I mean, obviously you're notthe only person, so I don't
believe you and you know I'm apicky eater.
I'm just even more baffled thatit's hot.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Well, I mean, did you think you were going to put it
in the fridge?
Let it cool down, pull it outand put gravy?
I mean, what did you think itwas?
That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
No, that's not any more than I give up Pull this
bitch over.
It's just, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
It's the sweet, sweet and salty.
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
Is your cantaloupe cubed and just in the gravy, or
do you take like a half?
Speaker 2 (52:21):
No, you do a slice and you put the slices on your
plate and you pour the gravyover it and then you cut it up
as you go.
You want as much gravy on thatpiece as you can get.
Makes me want it right now.
Speaker 1 (52:37):
I just want to throw up in this floor.
It's one of those things.
It's even more baffling becauseI had it pictured one way.
It's already bad and I had itpictured bad.
Cantaloupe and gravy isdisgusting.
But I did have it pictured coldand now it somehow got worse.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
It's hot gravy.
You know what Dylan was tellingme and you know every family
has, I think their differentlittle things and I guess we're
going to beat this dead horseHis family has, you know, grit.
We all eat grit, grits isSouthern, we don't eat grits.
Yeah, 99% of all Southernpeople eat grits, and if you
(53:17):
know how to cook grits, they'reamazing.
You don't use the ones in alittle packet.
You make good grits ground Ithink grit stone ground.
Speaker 1 (53:28):
I know that is a southern thing, but I think it's
way more popular here in southcarolina than like other places
I really do and with like shrimpand grits.
I ain't ever heard of thatuntil I moved to South.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
Carolina shrimp and grits is a low country thing.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
I think grits in general is more.
I'm not saying it's not asouthern thing.
There's grit meals and stufflike that and I'm not saying
it's not a southern thing, but Ifeel like it's more, like it
may be a North Carolina,tennessee, south Carolina, this
sort of region thing, but I feellike it's more like East.
Tennessee, south Carolina likethis sort of region.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
I grew up.
I like my grits with cheese anda lot of black pepper and
butter.
Dylan grew up and he always.
They put great jelly in theirgrits.
That seems so weird to mebecause the way I grew up if you
wanted a sweet something, youhad cream of wheat and you would
(54:29):
put sugar in your cream ofwheat or your oatmeal, but grits
was always savory.
So I tried it one day and putsome grape jelly in there and it
wasn't bad.
It was different, but it wasn'tbad, just a different taste.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
So grits are consumed most heavily in the American
grits belt, a region thatstretches from southern Virginia
and then it goes down, so likedown into Texas, but South
Carolina, which has, and that'swhere three-quarters of all
(55:10):
grits is sold, and SouthCarolina has declared grits its
official state food.
Yeah, I'm telling you it's waymore popular.
East Tennessee, so I guess.
Virginia, the East Coast, I'mtelling you it's way more
popular.
East Tennessee, so I guess.
Virginia and down Southern EastCoast.
Yeah, then it was Grits aregreat.
Speaker 2 (55:30):
So, when you're going to come here.
Any breakfast restaurant you goto, there's going to be grits
on the menu.
Speaker 1 (55:35):
It's true.
And they're good I have.
I mean, I've never seen so manygrit options until moving here.
Seriously, like it is a muchmore common thing than other
southern places.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
I guess I never thought about it because I've
always lived in South Carolina,and I always I mean even years
ago.
Mcdonald's sold grits, Mm-hmm,and let me tell you, when we did
it you had to let your old ladybiscuit maker make them, or
they wasn't fit to eat.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
That's why they ain't on the menu anymore, because
they wasn't.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
yeah you got somebody that don't know how to make
grits.
That's true, you can get nastyquick.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
It is true.
All right, let's pull this babyover.
