SPEAKER_03 (00:54):
You gotta text someone.

SPEAKER_02 (01:01):
So uh we're a couple of days late on this week's
episode because again, we justgot too busy.
SPEAKER_03 (01:08):
So just be glad we're here because let me tell
you, it wasn't looking good.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
It really wasn't looking good.
I don't even remember where weleft off.
We are, if it the sound isn'tperfect, we are actually at our
home store, the Nestific Home,piled up on a sofa.
If you're watching in the Who'sDriving um community, you can
see that.
But anyway.
Drinking a pumpkin cream, chai,iced.
(01:38):
I don't know what the hell thisis.
It's really good.
It is really good.
Something you start.
Um speaking of this, okay.
So I just pulled up.
We're at the home store, justgot us our iced cream pumpkin
chai, I think's what it'scalled.
Um, and there's a new Starbucksdown from our store here.
(02:01):
And again, you and I went, youand I and Dylan went the other
day.
Dylan warned us when we were inthe car and it happened, but it
just happened to me again.
So now Starbucks.
Starbucks is now training.
It's got to be a training.
It is definitely a training daybecause they're all doing it.
And I've complained about thisabout Seven Brew, which is a
(02:26):
coffee chain, I don't know whereall they are.
But when you go to Seven Brew,they ask you invasive questions.
SPEAKER_03 (02:35):
And it's not like it's it's not, it's not like how
are you today?
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:41):
No, it's they start out with, what have you been
doing today?
Or where have you been?
Or where have you been?
So where are you going?
I will not go to Seven Brewbecause of this.
Because as flamboyantlyoutwardly as I can be, I'm very
uh what's the word I'm lookingfor?
Introverted.
Introverted.
(03:01):
Um, especially when it comes topersonal questions like that.
I've gotten much better, butwhen I just pull up to get
coffee, I don't want someonesaying, Well, where have you
been?
And I'm like, Oh, well, I don'tknow.
I don't want to tell you whereI've been, you know, sort of
thing.
So I won't go to Seven Brew.
Well, Dylan the other day said,uh, we were going to get coffee
because we were here at the homestore and we were all together.
(03:24):
And he said, Oh, by the way,when I was here the other day,
we were actually in thedrive-thru and Dylan was
driving, and he said, When I washere the other day, they did
what you don't like.
They started asking me all thesequestions.
And he no longer got that out ofhis mouth, and the window slid
open, and she said, So, whereare y'all going after this?
(03:48):
That's the kind of question theyasked.
So I it's not like, hey, how'sit going?
Hope you've been having a greatday, or you know, isn't the
weather nice?
SPEAKER_03 (03:56):
It's it's intrusive.
It is always one step intrusive.
It's intrusive and it's awkward.
So she asked us that, and Isaid, We're going to an orgy.
SPEAKER_02 (04:06):
Yeah.
Stephen said, Oh, we're we'reheaded out of here going to an
orgy.
And she was just like, uh yougot your Starbucks to take with
you.
SPEAKER_03 (04:16):
I was like, Yeah.
Yeah.
She's like, Well, I hope y'allhave fun.
I said, Oh, we will.
Yeah.
Stephen was like, Oh, we will.
But if you're gonna ask me weirdquestions like that, I'm gonna
answer you very weird.
SPEAKER_02 (04:33):
And I don't know, I guess from their side, they're
trying to say, like, oh, makemore of a personal connection.
We don't need that.
We just need the traditionalregular, we need the the bar is
real low.
Are you having a good day?
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (04:47):
Thank you.
SPEAKER_02 (04:48):
Yes, if you are, right?
That's exactly what I hope.
Normal, don't be awkward.
Yeah, so it was so awkwardtoday, on top of being awkward
with the questions.
So I pull up and I've we've beenthrough there three times in the
last week.
So I knew it was gonna happen,but it's a different person
every time.
(05:08):
So I pulled up, she scanned mylittle app thing, and so I
immediately opened Instagram andlike looked down.
So I was like, I don't want anyquestions, you know?
So I'm scrolling on Instagramand I could see out of the side
of the eye, like it processed,she closed the window.
Well, she starts like openingthe window, but not all the way,
(05:30):
just like cracking it.
Like I think she was trying toget the nerve to ask the
question that she's beeninstructed to ask or whatever,
and like a good time to do itbecause I'm looking down, and
then she does open the window,and so um, I forgot what her
first question was.
(05:51):
What have you been doing today?
And I said, Oh, just working,you know, just nice and general.
Oh, and so then I look back downand I'm scrolling, and it's an
awkward pause time, but she'sstanding there with the window
open, looking at me, juststraight looking at me while I'm
doing this.
She goes, Oh, so do you likeyour work?
(06:14):
And I said, Yes, I do.
It's like, yeah, fortunately, Ireally like my work.
And then I looked back down, andthen I happen to have some
Christmas wreaths in the back ofmy back seat of my truck.
And she goes, What's that in theback of your seat?
Is that a Christmas tree?
(06:36):
And I'm like, Oh my god.
I was like, No, those areChristmas wreaths or whatever.
She's like, Oh, I loveChristmas.
And I was like, You mean too?
I was like, such a fun holiday,fun and festive.
And then I look back down andscroll, and then she's still
standing there.
I mean, like, we have had enoughconversation.
No, this was a different girl.
(06:58):
So then she's still, I can seeon the side of my eyes, she's
just staring at me with thewindow open, and I go back to
scrolling for an awkward like 30seconds.
I really, the introvert in mewanted to just hit the gas and
say, screw it, and I will go toa different Starbucks and get us
drink.
So then she goes, Well, have youever had this drink before?
(07:22):
And I was like, uh, actually,no, my friend um told me to get
it, and I thought, you knowwhat, I'll just get that too, or
whatever.
Well, do you like pumpkin?
And I'm like, this goes on andon for an awkward amount of
time.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (07:37):
Would you like a busted lip?
SPEAKER_02 (07:39):
Leave me alone.
That's what I want to say.
I think I'm gonna put a sign onmy window, like a sticky, and
just roll it up that says, leaveme alone.
SPEAKER_03 (07:50):
And I'm a pretty friendly, outgoing person.
Like you are, you're actually ifif I'm not talking to you, you
there's a reason.
You have you have pushed it toofar with me.
Yeah, you have done something.
And I mean, I'm nice to I I'mtalking, I engage people, but
(08:13):
make it uh don't make it weird.
Right.
Like, where have you been?
SPEAKER_02 (08:19):
You gotta let us know on our hotline, which I
don't know the number, it'll bedown in the comment or in the
because I'm not at all.
That's one number we can'tremember.
We can't remember the number.
But let us know on the hotlineand it'll be down in the show
notes wherever you're listeningto podcasts.
If you hit like episodedescription, you can see the
phone number there, or on our umwho's drivingpodcast.com in the
(08:40):
community there, you can commenton the episode too.
But does this bother you?
And are you experiencing thissoon?
SPEAKER_03 (08:47):
I've got to think about who somebody overshare.
Oh, oh, this is a goodovershare.
Oh overshare.
When I was an owner withMcDonald's, a friend of mine
worked in the trainingdepartment, corporate training
department, and she worked withthis girl, this other woman,
(09:10):
grown woman, married withchildren, grown-ass woman in the
training department, and she waslike, oh.
And she was talking to her,yeah, and they weren't like
friends, yeah, they were justcolleagues, yeah, like
professional colleagues.
And this is not in a restaurant,this is at the corporate level.
(09:33):
In an office, in an office,professional setting.
SPEAKER_02 (09:36):
Not that the restaurant isn't, but even more
so.
More so.
SPEAKER_03 (09:40):
And so she just shared that she had a uh yeast
infection.
Oh my god.
And it was really bad.
Oh, and just we kept going onand on about her yeast
infection.
And my friend told me, yeah, Iwas like, what in the hell?
(10:04):
So now to this day, if I seethis person on Facebook, I'm
like, I don't even think I knowher.
I'm obviously I know her name.
Yeah, but I don't even think ofher name.
I just want to, I just want tocall her yeast.
Oh my god.
But who, like, I can see sharingthat with a friend.
Like if I were a female and Iwas saying, well, yeah, you
(10:26):
know, I get it.
Because we stare a best friend.
Yes.
Not a perfect.
Not a colleague at work.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so weird.
SPEAKER_02 (10:38):
I mean, it's like some people don't have those
filters.
SPEAKER_03 (10:41):
That's the problem.
But she was just like, it wasthey were talking about it's
pretty outside.
And she just went on and onabout this yeast infection.
Gross.
I was like, oh.
SPEAKER_02 (10:53):
I mean that's bad.
Yeah.
So I feel like we went rightinto the episode.
We're late this week, though,because we had so much going on
with decorating the retailstores.
If you can, if you're watching,we're sitting in our home store,
it's decked out for theholidays.
Um, so we do very we listen.
SPEAKER_03 (11:14):
We orchestrate at this point.
We orchestrate, but back in theday, hit rewind in the
beginning.
It was literally Wesley and I.
Daniel would unload the truck,yeah, and break down boxes.
Daniel's not a designer.
Yeah, he does not like it, doesnot, he's just not.
Yeah.
(11:35):
Um, and but he would alwaysunload the truck.
Open the boxes, break the boxesdown.
SPEAKER_02 (11:43):
But Wesley and I did the whole store by ourselves.
We used to stay till the suncame up, and it wasn't that long
ago.
I mean, just in the last fouryears have we transitioned to
not doing it all.
I mean, before then we had help,but then everyone would leave
and we would stay and we allhave fun.
Yeah.
(12:04):
Now they're like, bye, and we'relike, bye.
We have great people.
We do have a great team at bothstores.
And um, and it changed what thedynamic changed is with our
warehouse and our online.
When we really got into having alarger warehouse over the last
few years, we now sendeverything to the warehouse,
(12:26):
especially for holiday, becauseit starts coming in the week of
Mother's Day or right aroundthere.
Um, and so then when it's time,it gets pulled to the store.
So, like now, like what I did isI orchestrated like what
products are going to whatstore, pull it off the shelf.
Then we have people that get itover here, then our retail
(12:48):
stores, they price it, store itfor a couple of weeks, and then
they pull it all out orwhatever.
Um, so really the warehouse iswhen it changed because before
the warehouse, things would haveto go to each store location.
We didn't have, we have verylittle storage at our stores.
And so they it would just haveto go into pods um that we would
(13:12):
get dropped in the parking lotin like August.
And so we would have to, wereally didn't know what we had.
Whereas now, when it all comesin the warehouse, it's all
getting put in put online.
We can see pictures of it, soit's easier on us to orchestrate
it, and then we tell our retailstores like these are our themes
of our trees, and then they takeit from there, and they did an
(13:35):
amazing job.
SPEAKER_03 (13:36):
They did great.
We only fixed a couple ofthings, which is really good
because ironically, did uhDylan, Wesley and I both hurt
our backs the same time thisweek, the same morning.
Yeah, I was like, I can't bendover, I'm not gonna be in this.
SPEAKER_02 (13:55):
Um and that seems to be happening a little more
often.
SPEAKER_03 (13:59):
Yeah, it gets it.
I hate to tell you.
SPEAKER_02 (14:02):
No, I know it gets worse, but here's the thing.
I'm eight years behind you.
Yeah, so in eight years, like Ifeel like mine is earlier.
But mine has been good until Ihad back trouble years ago, and
then it's been better.
And then the last six weeks,well, it started going back to
(14:26):
pulling Christmas stuff.
I was pulling all the Christmasitems and setting it down in the
aisle at the warehouse for themto bring it over here, and I was
lifting, I just I did too muchand it irritated it.
I can tell it's a muscle, so tolike spasm up, and I just
haven't been able to have therelief.
(14:46):
It's good today.
It gets challenging.
I know it does.
So, and that's why.
So this weekend was um thereset.
This past weekend was the resetof both retail stores, and
that's how we ended up gettingbehind on the podcast.
We were gonna do it on Sunday.
We were just like, oh, we'll doit um Sunday evening, but it we
just had too many things goingon.
(15:07):
We were just we were overoverzealous, and then coming up
this weekend, you are headed tothe high point furniture market.
Yes, Dylan is going for thefirst time, and for the first
time, I'm sitting it up, whichis fine.
SPEAKER_03 (15:26):
Only the second, this is only the second market
you've ever missed.
SPEAKER_02 (15:32):
Yes, we missed one day with COVID.
Uh-huh.
Well, they didn't even have themarket, did they?
No, no, we had planned to skipit.
SPEAKER_03 (15:41):
Yeah.
We had planned to skip a market,which was a problem.
You don't think it will be aproblem, but then it it is a
problem because you you don'thave those orders treated.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:52):
Um, but this is the only one that I've skipped.
But I decided to because, oh mygosh, it's just so much going
on, honestly.
And you're the last few, yeah.
I'm trying to get a jump on thedecorating at my house for
holiday season.
I did put up my tree today.
It is gorgeous.
We both got new trees this year.
(16:12):
I'm so excited.
I didn't realize it was thetree, it's one of the quick
connects.
You just drop it in there.
Oh, it's amazing.
It is, it is good.
Um, but anyway.
So it's much easier.
Yeah, I'm trying to get a jumpon that.
B, um, I the last few years, thelast couple of years, I've been
(16:34):
ordering more like accessoriesand getting like live sales and
stuff set up at the market.
Um, especially with thefranchise owner shopping, y'all
kind of shop for differentthings and then I'd shop for
different things.
But the stuff that I typicallyshop for, we're good on right
now.
So I just decided I was like, Ican sit this one out and get a
(16:55):
jump on my get a reading onDylan.
SPEAKER_03 (16:58):
I don't know if he is excited.
Excited or another market.
I think he's excited, but he'slike, well, I'm gonna have to
work all weekend to get it.
Yeah, exactly.
This would be his first one.
This would be, yeah, so it'sit's good for him.
SPEAKER_02 (17:16):
I'm kind of a little, I don't know.
Um I feel like I might be alittle jelly because you know I
love a market.
I love a market, but at the sametime, I'm excited about getting
my house started decorating andstuff too.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
Um I was gonna say somethingabout that.
(17:36):
Oh, speaking of um our franchiseowners, Tina and I guess Mark.
Is Mark going?
Tina, Mark are going.
Um, they just had their one-yearanniversary.
One year.
So if you don't know, or maybeyou're new here, um, we have a
franchise store in Savannah,Georgia.
So if you're ever in Savannah,Georgia, look up the nested fig
(17:58):
home.
They just celebrated theirone-year anniversary, which is
crazy.
And it's beautiful.
Oh, it is a pretty store.
Um, and we haven't, I haven'tbeen down there since a couple
of weeks after they opened, Ithink.
We haven't had time.
Um, but I see it and like Italked to their store manager
today about something, and wetalk to the owners all the time.
(18:19):
Some people were asking me,like, how does that work or
whatever?
So, you know, they own the storeand um we have approved vendors
and they see what products we'reordering.
And when we're at market, eventhe Atlanta market, they'll come
and order and they'll see whatwe're ordering and they try to
replicate that and they throw insome of their elements too, or
whatever.
(18:39):
Um, so we just don't always showthat part or talk about that
part, I guess is the thing.
But yeah, our Savannah store orthe Savannah store, you have to
check it out if you're ever.
SPEAKER_03 (18:51):
Yeah, it's a it's a beautiful store.
It really is.
Yeah, I was telling her, I'mlike, okay, when can I go?
I think I'm gonna try to go fora long weekend in February.
Uh in like December.
It's hard because you know,you're buying gifts and you
know, you're wanting to go toNew York and and then we're
(19:13):
working every day.
It's true.
I mean, so literally we Wesleyand I have um about one week,
maybe 10 days to prepare forChristmas.
Yeah, and that's it.
It's crazy how fast it goes.
Because literally, like peoplealways ask, well, when are you
(19:34):
off?
We are not off.
Like a ri we do not have anofficial day off until other
than thank we'll be off onThanksgiving Day, which is
really not an odd day offbecause we're usually prepping
for something.
So we're really we work untilmid-December.
SPEAKER_02 (19:54):
Yeah, usually December 15th, and we're like,
okay, that's somewhere aroundthere, wherever it falls, we are
like, we're dead.
We're dead, we're out of steam,that's it.
We're done.
I can't give it anymore.
Yeah, that's we're done.
Yeah, everything's on sale.
Screw it.
We're done.
We're done.
Um, and then I usually rightafter that, I only have a couple
of days.
I end up going home to myparents' house into the sea.
(20:17):
And so it's like just runstogether, but it is crazy how
fast um all of that comes.
Uh, so that is the Savannahstore.
If you're there, make sure yougo um check it out.
But it's so exciting that youknow they've gotten past their
uh first year there.
I do want to go, I haven'ttalked about this.
(20:40):
I don't think my mom had time tolisten to the podcast, but
that's okay.
So next or just in a few days ismy mom's birthday.
It's a big birthday.
Big two.
Um, and so she's always wantedto go to New York City like
during the holiday season.
New York City.
I want to try.
We don't have anything plannedyet, but I want to try to take
(21:01):
like a week.
I mean, it's just gonna be likethree days or something.
Nothing, nothing crazy long.
Um, it's not like it's gonna be,you know, going and shopping and
buying.
She just wants to see the sightsand you know, everyone wants to
has that has she ever been?
Yeah, she's been to New York, sonot at Christmas.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (21:21):
She's New York City at Christmas.
Have you ever been forChristmas?
No, I've never been forChristmas.
That's why it is magical.
And I think like Lane would likeit.
It's magical.
It's something Lane wouldremember for the rest of her
life.
Right.
Um, you know, we have to dothings like take her ice skating
and that's the kind of thing Iwant to go to.
(21:44):
And I took my mom.
Do it.
Oh, yeah.
I took my mom and aren't youglad you did that?
No, absolutely.
So I mean, I took her multipletimes.
Um, yeah, you never regret that.
Yeah.
The only thing I regret, youknow, I took my mom, my mom to
(22:04):
England.
I took her a lot of places.
Vegas, England, you know, didall that, but I never took her
to Hawaii.
And that kind of haunts me tillthis to this day.
Yeah.
But my intent was to take her.
Like we were planning a trip toGreece.
My mom was gonna go.
Right.
But, you know, the time runsout.
(22:26):
That's why we have to live todaybecause we don't know what
tomorrow will bring.
Um, so Dylan is turning the big3-0 in January, and Daniel will
turn the big four-zero inJanuary.
So we're gonna do a trip.
I think we need to schedulethat.
Right.
(22:46):
Um, we're gonna do a big tripeither to uh one of the Hawaiian
Islands or we may do uhsomewhere in Europe, maybe
Spain, yeah, for their bigbirthdays.
But I did want to do somethingin January, and we're gonna be
at market for Dylan and Daniel.
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
No, it's it is a little earlier.
Is it?
Yeah.
I was looking that up because Iwas like, I cannot be at market
on Daniel's 40th birthday.
I thought I thought it was I'lllook it up again, but I'm pretty
sure it is we get back rightbefore then.
SPEAKER_03 (23:26):
Um but we gotta do a little trip in January.
January, we're going to Dylanwanted to go to New York City.
Okay.
So we are going to be.
Well, we'd have to go somewhereelse too.
The second.
SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
Yeah, um, it ends on the 19th in January.
So we should be home like the20th.
We'll be home that day, usually.
Because we go a couple of daysearlier.
So because when's Dick Dylan'sbirthday?
The 21st?
Uh 25th.
25th.
And wait, his is the 25th?
(24:05):
And Daniel's is the 23rd?
I thought Dylan's was a day ortwo before.
No, okay.
So that's good.
So we need to do a littlesomething, something for that.
SPEAKER_03 (24:14):
So what Dylan wanna, I know I might, he's never been
to New York in January,February, not the winter.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't think youreally know how cold that is.
Because, like, it's cold inDecember.
Right.
But you feel like you're gonnadie in January and February.
(24:36):
It's the ice cube.
But I decided I know he wants togo there.
He wants to go to the diamonddistrict and get him something
special for his birthday, and Iwant that for him.
So we're gonna go.
And I'm not gonna stress aboutit.
If it's a blizzard, I'm staying.
SPEAKER_02 (24:53):
Okay, but why don't y'all go in December with us and
my mom, and you can do all thatthen?
Because that'd be almost lessthan a month from Red's birthday
or right around it, a littleover a month, and then we go
somewhere different theirbirthday weeks, like I say
Vegas, or we can do that too.
(25:16):
Because then he can have niceshopping in Vegas too.
We can do that too.
Something like that.
Yeah, I mean, we can do both.
SPEAKER_03 (25:22):
Y'all got some plans y'all want to plan out?
Because I'm thinking if itbecomes a snow blizzard, I'm
just gonna stay in bed.
It doesn't matter.
What I'm good.
Oh my goodness.
I'm good.
SPEAKER_02 (25:35):
I'm fine with being there in the winter.
Okay, I have something moving onfrom that.
Um, you know how I saw somethingon social media and it got my
brain spinning.
And I want to see, becauseyou're an OCD person.
Um we're both ADD, whatever,you're under control.
But so I feel like this playsinto that.
(25:55):
But you know, I talked aboutbefore days of the week to me.
To me, Monday, Wednesday, Fridayare even days in my head.
And Tuesday, Thursday are odddays.
You said you were opposite,right?
Yeah, those are the odd days.
No, Tuesday.
Monday, Monday, Wednesday,Friday's even.
(26:17):
Tuesday, Thursday's odd.
In my brain.
SPEAKER_03 (26:19):
No, but the reason, you know, I guess the reason
it's odd is it's three.
One, two, one, two, three.
It's like an odd number.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
That's odd.
Tuesday, Thursday's even.
And I even thought about that,even is how my brain translated
(26:39):
it in college.
Because you know, you would haveyour Monday, Wednesday, Friday
classes.
SPEAKER_02 (26:43):
Yeah, those are my classes.
SPEAKER_03 (26:45):
Tuesday, Thursday are the back classes.
SPEAKER_02 (26:47):
That's backwards.
Okay, that's but that's everyperson has their own.
Because what is an odd or evenday?
We made that up on our own.
You know what I'm saying?
We did, and I've thought aboutit too.
SPEAKER_03 (27:01):
So this kind of well, no, no, because this
changes such.
I thought too.
Um I in my mind, I've associatedcolors with days of the week.
Oh, yeah.
I haven't done that.
Just weird.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm and I'm not one ofthose people that has, you know,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
(27:21):
Saturday paint panties and stufflike that.
But it's weird how you youvisualize things.
SPEAKER_02 (27:29):
So with that, I feel like this is next kin to that.
Someone was talking about on,and I could so relate to this,
talking on social media aboutuse like saving leftovers and
using, say, a Tupperwarecontainer, which is a brand.
But how to them round-shapedTupperware or containers are for
(27:55):
your soft foods, such as soups,salads, soft things, and your
square containers were for hardthings like meats, casseroles,
that sort of thing.
That's kind of true.
And I was like, that is true forme.
Like I would never put soup in asquare or rectangle.
SPEAKER_03 (28:16):
And you know why it is, because you slice the other
is in the shape.
Yeah.
That shape, you know.
SPEAKER_02 (28:24):
You slice a casserole up into squares and
scoop it out and put it in thereor whatever.
A bit of soup.
But like you can totally pourit.
Splitting whatever is gonna bein around, I guess, because of a
bowl.
But so why don't they just makeall the Tupperware and just a
square?
Like, you see what I'm saying?
That's total like apsychological thing.
(28:47):
Oh, it absolutely is.
But then some people in thecomments are saying no, like
they don't they just pull oneout and whatever it is, that's
it, or whatever it fits in.
SPEAKER_03 (28:58):
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, that is weird, but no.
Um that's the way I'm gonna betoo.
SPEAKER_02 (29:07):
And like you're not gonna like, I know you don't
like turkey and I don't eatmeat, but like if you slice up
turkey at Thanksgiving, you'renot gonna put that in a round
Tupperware.
No, that would just be wrong.
SPEAKER_03 (29:18):
I don't know.
That doesn't matter.
Isn't that weird?
That is weird that it's evenwrong.
Right.
But it's wrong.
Yeah, it's just wrong.
Some way, somehow, that's justnot right.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (29:29):
So let us know again on the hotline.
You have to see it below.
Do you agree with this, or areyou just willy-nilly putting it
in whatever it fits in orwhatever you grab?
SPEAKER_01 (29:41):
I don't know.
I'm not, I'm not either.
I I couldn't do that.
SPEAKER_02 (29:46):
Um, okay, so that was funny.
And then the other um debatethat I saw um here.
Oh my gosh, I was voice textingon my damn phone.
Um, so I gotta think.
Um Uh a debate is uh doesanother like psychological
psychological does a straw haveone hole or two holes?
(30:10):
Like what has two ends, onehole.
Is that what you that's what Iwould say too?
Yeah.
Because a lot of people say, no,it's two holes because you can
flip it either way and it's ahole.
But to me, it's one continuoushole.
Yeah, it's one hole with twoends.
Yeah, it's like a pipe.
Yeah, that's how I agree.
That's how I think.
But I guess people thinkdifferently um on that.
(30:34):
Well, that's weird.
When we think about that one,they're wrong.
Um, yeah, because I'm like, it'sone continuous hole with two
ends.
But what's the top and thebottom?
No, I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_03 (30:50):
Do you have any Southernisms this week?
Southernisms.
I was listening to one lady.
Or did you not bring anything?
SPEAKER_02 (30:56):
Have you ever heard uh wait?
What was the one I said in thatum someone called me out in a
live sale?
Um I said something, it was herelike last night.
I said, and I was like, is thata southernism?
And you were like, that's asouthernism.
What was that?
It wasn't willy-nilly, butsomething um I said just it was
(31:21):
something like that.
I can't remember what it wasnow.
A good old Southernism.
So um the containers and theshapes.
SPEAKER_03 (31:37):
This is, you know, the lady with it was a
91-year-old talking aboutSouthern things.
Uh-huh.
And one thing she said is uhfull of piss and vinegar.
SPEAKER_02 (31:52):
That just means you're like full of crap and
sour.
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03 (31:57):
That you're just uh bitter.
No.
Mean.
Mean?
Mean and bitter?
No, just mean and rambuctious.
Yeah, a person who is brimmingwith aggressive energy, fighting
spirit, boy, boisterousenthusiasm.
(32:20):
Some days you're full of pissand vinegar.
SPEAKER_02 (32:23):
That that's some days you come in.
I think I'm pretty made up ofpiss and vinegar.
I think some days you come inhot and hot and bothered.
We both were on Monday.
It was almost a bad day.
We were both on the side.
I could punch somebody somedays.
Aggressive.
(32:44):
Why is that?
I wasn't in a bad mood.
But I was like, there's justsome days you just want to beat
the shit out of somebody.
I was definitely feelingaggressive on Monday.
I was like, calm it down.
I don't know what it was.
Maybe it's a maybe our cycleshave synced down.
SPEAKER_00 (33:01):
I I don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (33:03):
Do men have cycles?
I think they probably do.
SPEAKER_03 (33:06):
I think so.
SPEAKER_02 (33:07):
I think there's definitely hormone cycles.
You can whatever.
SPEAKER_03 (33:13):
But that doesn't well they say, uh, you know, I
take melatonin about everynight.
Do you, Dylan?
Uh Daniel does too.
And they say doctors say thatmelatonin can affect your
hormone balances.
Oh.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's what's wrong withDaniel Domsky.
I don't know.
(33:34):
I don't know if that's true.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (33:36):
But it can disrupt your like hormone.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (33:39):
Yeah, and it's not necessarily bad for you.
SPEAKER_02 (33:42):
It just can affect throw it hormones up.
Hmm.
They don't take anything likethat.
The only thing I take is our C BD gummies to sleep.
But I don't take I don't use theones with melatonin in them.
SPEAKER_03 (33:57):
I just because I don't have a problem falling
asleep, like I've said before.
I love it.
But now my now I wake up at like4 45 every morning.
Oh my god.
Do you fall back?
Then you fall back asleep.
I I tried.
You gotta be up for aboutbecause you're in that age.
Get up and pee, lay back downand try to fall back asleep.
(34:18):
Do you scroll on your phone?
Yeah.
I mean, it's just awful.
30 minutes.
Because when I was younger, Iwent to bed and I would I could
sleep for two days.
I know.
SPEAKER_02 (34:28):
Those those types of sleeps get narrower and
narrower.
Like less and less.
Like the other day, I slept likethat.
Like it was the sleep you havewhen you were in college and
just came home in the middle ofthe day and was like or
whatever, because you wanted totake a nap.
I slept like that and I waslike, oh, I haven't slept like
(34:50):
that in so long.
Although I think that's whatmade me aggressive.
I got up and I was like, why amI awake?
I don't know.
Um, so if you are local, I dowant to mention this.
If you are local to Greenville,South Carolina, we have a few
events coming up for our holidayseason for the um Christmas
season here locally.
(35:11):
So November 6th is uh martinisand mistletoe at our garden
store, and that is from 5 to 8.
Our garden store is here, theNessa Fig Garden here on Augusta
Road.
Um, and that is our kickoffparty for the garden store for
the holiday season.
We'll have some food and drinks,do it accounts, giveaway, all of
(35:35):
that kind of fun things.
So that is Thursday, November6th.
Then Thursday, November 13th ishere at our home store where we
are now.
Uh, we have candy canes andcocktails, and um, it's from
five to eight as well.
Food and drinks and similarthing, but you get to see the
whole collection, um, Christmascollection here.
(35:58):
Uh, and then November 15th and16th are on weekend, and that's
our two-day Christmas openhouse.
So if you can't make it in theevening, you just want to drop
in those two days.
We have different specials andtreats and different things for
them.
SPEAKER_03 (36:12):
And we'll probably just, whatever we're doing,
we'll probably just run itthrough the weekend or something
like that.
Through the weekend.
Because when last year, I thinkwe had our cocktails and candy
cane or martinis and mistletoe,and we just kept it going.
Yeah.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (36:28):
Um, they used to, that's really close together.
The two-day open house is alsoon the Sunday, the 16th, if
you're in the area, all of ourstreet has an open house from
one to five.
We have always done a two-dayChristmas open house.
Because why wouldn't you?
We do, we do double the money isbasically it.
(36:48):
But also, they're so closetogether now because we used to
have, we always have our um ourcocktail ones uh the first two
Thursdays in November.
And then there used to be abreak, and then there was the
two-day open house was theweekend before Thanksgiving
(37:09):
every year.
Well, the street moved theirsup, so that had to move up with
that.
So it's kind of why it all, it'skind of like, why are you having
all that together?
But that that's the differencethere.
So if you're in the area, um,make sure you come see us at our
home store and garden store.
And if you're not in the area,then remember you need to be
shopping with us at the nestedfig.
(37:31):
If you don't have our app yet,you are missing out.
We're doing live sales prettymuch every day.
We're doing live sales where youcan shop our retail stores.
You'll be I'll be doing livesales from my home where you can
shop um the things that I'mdesigning with.
You'll be able to stop shopSteven's house.
(37:51):
We'll be doing live sales fromthere.
So the holiday season isdefinitely the time you want the
app and to watch the live sales.
SPEAKER_03 (37:58):
We're doing a live sale at least once a day.
SPEAKER_02 (38:02):
Yeah, because there's so much going on and so
many things to show you.

Um, so lots of fun, fun thingshappening um there.
Lots of holiday games.
Yeah, I mean, I believe it'slike the season, holiday season
(38:26):
already.
SPEAKER_00 (38:26):
I know.
SPEAKER_02 (38:27):
I can't either.
I Daniel and I keep saying thatto each other.
And I I'm like, I guess we'regonna keep saying that until
it's uh it's gonna be gone andwe're still gonna say I've
noticed a few businesses havinguh holiday open houses and
different things in October.
A lot of that's um growing up, alot of them did did that.
(38:49):
I don't like that.
Augusta Road, where we are, wasthe first one that did it so
late, like right up next toThanksgiving.
Um, a lot of businesses do itlike end of October.
Yeah.
But it's kind of I or first ofno, I think it's that's why we
have our martinis and mistletoecandy canes and cocktails, but
(39:09):
at least we wait till November.
SPEAKER_03 (39:12):
Yeah, I think I just get past.
Personally, I feel like peopleare not gonna let themselves get
in the spirit until after Well,I don't know.
We got our Christmas out thisweek and our sales have been
they've been shopping.
I know, I know, but I'm like, Idon't want to go to a holiday
party until like the closer.
SPEAKER_02 (39:32):
Right after Halloween.
Yes.
Then that's your next one.
I mean, that's just me, butwhatever.
Um but yeah, a lot of smallbusinesses in towns will have
them or like right around now,end of October.
Mm-hmm.
God.
But you know what if whateverfloats your boat.
Whatever this doesn't say,whatever floats your boat.
That's turns your crank, blowsup your skirt.
(39:55):
Mm-hmm.
That's it.
Um dilly dally.
SPEAKER_01 (39:59):
Was that what I said the other day?
SPEAKER_02 (40:01):

like mid um December, is what wenormally do.
Through like mid-December, andthen we take from December until
after we get back from market.
I think we cut it off earlierlast year.
You make you just go like that.
We take it through earlyDecember, and then we're not
(40:54):

SPEAKER_03 (40:57):
It's like five weeks or something.
I have a question for ourlisteners.
Okay.
What do you what's your favoriteChristmas decor?
Do you like traditional red?
Do you like gold?
Or do you like the woodsy look?
Because I'm all into the RalphWarren.
SPEAKER_02 (41:13):
What is your theme?
What is your go-to look for yourhome?
Is what you're asking.
It doesn't even have to fallinto those.
Are you pink and bright colors?
Are you all white?
SPEAKER_03 (41:25):
Silver.
SPEAKER_02 (41:26):
Blue and white.
SPEAKER_03 (41:27):
Silver.
It's funny to me because I havea friend, and when he was
growing up, they alwaysdecorated blue lights, green
ornaments.
That's random.
SPEAKER_02 (41:42):
Who pulled that behind?
Is that someone we're gonna haveto tow?
I think she's okay.
We've been having a problem hereat the home store, not to call
out any neighbors or anything.
No, we have a um a restaurantthat opened uh a deli that
opened, which is very good.
It's very good.
We like the owners andeverything like that.
We're very neighborly.
(42:03):
I mean, I'm never here, sowhatever.
But no, but um they went viralon TikTok and randomly for just
one sandwich, and all of theirpatrons have been parking in our
parking lot and it's become areally bad issue.
So we now have just today'ssigns are going up.
And I hate to be that sore.
SPEAKER_03 (42:24):
I don't want to, we don't want to do that, but we
don't have a choice.
And they're super nice.
We've met with them, theyunderstand.
You know, we're not doing it tobe assholes by any means, but um
we just have to get ourcustomers have to have parking.
SPEAKER_02 (42:39):
So the point of that is Steven's on standby for
calling the toy truck at thispoint.
The toy truck is like that.
I really do.
Um, so hopefully we have a lotof parking here at our home
store, our property came with.
Um it's all ours, but we'replaying nice.
So we're only putting signs upin a few so that it reserves
(42:59):
parking for our yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (43:01):
We have a lot of parking and we put signs in less
than half.
Yeah.
So hopefully that's much nicerthan that.
SPEAKER_02 (43:09):
But when someone's pulling up, I'm like, um, who's
that?
SPEAKER_03 (43:13):
Let me get my brass knuckles.
SPEAKER_02 (43:16):
Nah.
You did run somebody off.
SPEAKER_03 (43:19):
Oh, several.
SPEAKER_02 (43:21):
I don't like it if you especially if you've got a
bad attitude.

SPEAKER_03 (01:08):
So just be glad we're here because let me tell
you, it wasn't looking good.
SPEAKER_02 (01:12):
It really wasn't looking good.
I don't even remember where weleft off.
We are, if it the sound isn'tperfect, we are actually at our
home store, the Nestific Home,piled up on a sofa.
If you're watching in the Who'sDriving um community, you can
see that.
But anyway.
Drinking a pumpkin cream, chai,iced.
(01:38):
I don't know what the hell thisis.
It's really good.
It is really good.
Something you start.
Um speaking of this, okay.
So I just pulled up.
We're at the home store, justgot us our iced cream pumpkin
chai, I think's what it'scalled.
Um, and there's a new Starbucksdown from our store here.
(02:01):
And again, you and I went, youand I and Dylan went the other
day.
Dylan warned us when we were inthe car and it happened, but it
just happened to me again.
So now Starbucks.
Starbucks is now training.
It's got to be a training.
It is definitely a training daybecause they're all doing it.
And I've complained about thisabout Seven Brew, which is a
(02:26):
coffee chain, I don't know whereall they are.
But when you go to Seven Brew,they ask you invasive questions.
SPEAKER_03 (02:35):
And it's not like it's it's not, it's not like how
are you today?
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (02:41):
No, it's they start out with, what have you been
doing today?
Or where have you been?
Or where have you been?
So where are you going?
I will not go to Seven Brewbecause of this.
Because as flamboyantlyoutwardly as I can be, I'm very
uh what's the word I'm lookingfor?
Introverted.
Introverted.
(03:01):
Um, especially when it comes topersonal questions like that.
I've gotten much better, butwhen I just pull up to get
coffee, I don't want someonesaying, Well, where have you
been?
And I'm like, Oh, well, I don'tknow.
I don't want to tell you whereI've been, you know, sort of
thing.
So I won't go to Seven Brew.
Well, Dylan the other day said,uh, we were going to get coffee
because we were here at the homestore and we were all together.
(03:24):
And he said, Oh, by the way,when I was here the other day,
we were actually in thedrive-thru and Dylan was
driving, and he said, When I washere the other day, they did
what you don't like.
They started asking me all thesequestions.
And he no longer got that out ofhis mouth, and the window slid
open, and she said, So, whereare y'all going after this?
(03:48):
That's the kind of question theyasked.
So I it's not like, hey, how'sit going?
Hope you've been having a greatday, or you know, isn't the
weather nice?
SPEAKER_03 (03:56):
It's it's intrusive.
It is always one step intrusive.
It's intrusive and it's awkward.
So she asked us that, and Isaid, We're going to an orgy.
SPEAKER_02 (04:06):
Yeah.
Stephen said, Oh, we're we'reheaded out of here going to an
orgy.
And she was just like, uh yougot your Starbucks to take with
you.
SPEAKER_03 (04:16):
I was like, Yeah.
Yeah.
She's like, Well, I hope y'allhave fun.
I said, Oh, we will.
Yeah.
Stephen was like, Oh, we will.
But if you're gonna ask me weirdquestions like that, I'm gonna
answer you very weird.
SPEAKER_02 (04:33):
And I don't know, I guess from their side, they're
trying to say, like, oh, makemore of a personal connection.
We don't need that.
We just need the traditionalregular, we need the the bar is
real low.
Are you having a good day?
Yes.
SPEAKER_03 (04:47):
Thank you.
SPEAKER_02 (04:48):
Yes, if you are, right?
That's exactly what I hope.
Normal, don't be awkward.
Yeah, so it was so awkwardtoday, on top of being awkward
with the questions.
So I pull up and I've we've beenthrough there three times in the
last week.
So I knew it was gonna happen,but it's a different person
every time.
(05:08):
So I pulled up, she scanned mylittle app thing, and so I
immediately opened Instagram andlike looked down.
So I was like, I don't want anyquestions, you know?
So I'm scrolling on Instagramand I could see out of the side
of the eye, like it processed,she closed the window.
Well, she starts like openingthe window, but not all the way,
(05:30):
just like cracking it.
Like I think she was trying toget the nerve to ask the
question that she's beeninstructed to ask or whatever,
and like a good time to do itbecause I'm looking down, and
then she does open the window,and so um, I forgot what her
first question was.
(05:51):
What have you been doing today?
And I said, Oh, just working,you know, just nice and general.
Oh, and so then I look back downand I'm scrolling, and it's an
awkward pause time, but she'sstanding there with the window
open, looking at me, juststraight looking at me while I'm
doing this.
She goes, Oh, so do you likeyour work?
(06:14):
And I said, Yes, I do.
It's like, yeah, fortunately, Ireally like my work.
And then I looked back down, andthen I happen to have some
Christmas wreaths in the back ofmy back seat of my truck.
And she goes, What's that in theback of your seat?
Is that a Christmas tree?
(06:36):
And I'm like, Oh my god.
I was like, No, those areChristmas wreaths or whatever.
She's like, Oh, I loveChristmas.
And I was like, You mean too?
I was like, such a fun holiday,fun and festive.
And then I look back down andscroll, and then she's still
standing there.
I mean, like, we have had enoughconversation.
No, this was a different girl.
(06:58):
So then she's still, I can seeon the side of my eyes, she's
just staring at me with thewindow open, and I go back to
scrolling for an awkward like 30seconds.
I really, the introvert in mewanted to just hit the gas and
say, screw it, and I will go toa different Starbucks and get us
drink.
So then she goes, Well, have youever had this drink before?
(07:22):
And I was like, uh, actually,no, my friend um told me to get
it, and I thought, you knowwhat, I'll just get that too, or
whatever.
Well, do you like pumpkin?
And I'm like, this goes on andon for an awkward amount of
time.
Right.
SPEAKER_03 (07:37):
Would you like a busted lip?
SPEAKER_02 (07:39):
Leave me alone.
That's what I want to say.
I think I'm gonna put a sign onmy window, like a sticky, and
just roll it up that says, leaveme alone.
SPEAKER_03 (07:50):
And I'm a pretty friendly, outgoing person.
Like you are, you're actually ifif I'm not talking to you, you
there's a reason.
You have you have pushed it toofar with me.
Yeah, you have done something.
And I mean, I'm nice to I I'mtalking, I engage people, but
(08:13):
make it uh don't make it weird.
Right.
Like, where have you been?
SPEAKER_02 (08:19):
You gotta let us know on our hotline, which I
don't know the number, it'll bedown in the comment or in the
because I'm not at all.
That's one number we can'tremember.
We can't remember the number.
But let us know on the hotlineand it'll be down in the show
notes wherever you're listeningto podcasts.
If you hit like episodedescription, you can see the
phone number there, or on our umwho's drivingpodcast.com in the
(08:40):
community there, you can commenton the episode too.
But does this bother you?
And are you experiencing thissoon?
SPEAKER_03 (08:47):
I've got to think about who somebody overshare.
Oh, oh, this is a goodovershare.
Oh overshare.
When I was an owner withMcDonald's, a friend of mine
worked in the trainingdepartment, corporate training
department, and she worked withthis girl, this other woman,
(09:10):
grown woman, married withchildren, grown-ass woman in the
training department, and she waslike, oh.
And she was talking to her,yeah, and they weren't like
friends, yeah, they were justcolleagues, yeah, like
professional colleagues.
And this is not in a restaurant,this is at the corporate level.
(09:33):
In an office, in an office,professional setting.
SPEAKER_02 (09:36):
Not that the restaurant isn't, but even more
so.
More so.
SPEAKER_03 (09:40):
And so she just shared that she had a uh yeast
infection.
Oh my god.
And it was really bad.
Oh, and just we kept going onand on about her yeast
infection.
And my friend told me, yeah, Iwas like, what in the hell?
(10:04):
So now to this day, if I seethis person on Facebook, I'm
like, I don't even think I knowher.
I'm obviously I know her name.
Yeah, but I don't even think ofher name.
I just want to, I just want tocall her yeast.
Oh my god.
But who, like, I can see sharingthat with a friend.
Like if I were a female and Iwas saying, well, yeah, you
(10:26):
know, I get it.
Because we stare a best friend.
Yes.
Not a perfect.
Not a colleague at work.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so weird.
SPEAKER_02 (10:38):
I mean, it's like some people don't have those
filters.
SPEAKER_03 (10:41):
That's the problem.
But she was just like, it wasthey were talking about it's
pretty outside.
And she just went on and onabout this yeast infection.
Gross.
I was like, oh.
SPEAKER_02 (10:53):
I mean that's bad.
Yeah.
So I feel like we went rightinto the episode.
We're late this week, though,because we had so much going on
with decorating the retailstores.
If you can, if you're watching,we're sitting in our home store,
it's decked out for theholidays.
Um, so we do very we listen.
SPEAKER_03 (11:14):
We orchestrate at this point.
We orchestrate, but back in theday, hit rewind in the
beginning.
It was literally Wesley and I.
Daniel would unload the truck,yeah, and break down boxes.
Daniel's not a designer.
Yeah, he does not like it, doesnot, he's just not.
Yeah.
(11:35):
Um, and but he would alwaysunload the truck.
Open the boxes, break the boxesdown.
SPEAKER_02 (11:43):
But Wesley and I did the whole store by ourselves.
We used to stay till the suncame up, and it wasn't that long
ago.
I mean, just in the last fouryears have we transitioned to
not doing it all.
I mean, before then we had help,but then everyone would leave
and we would stay and we allhave fun.
Yeah.
(12:04):
Now they're like, bye, and we'relike, bye.
We have great people.
We do have a great team at bothstores.
And um, and it changed what thedynamic changed is with our
warehouse and our online.
When we really got into having alarger warehouse over the last
few years, we now sendeverything to the warehouse,
(12:26):
especially for holiday, becauseit starts coming in the week of
Mother's Day or right aroundthere.
Um, and so then when it's time,it gets pulled to the store.
So, like now, like what I did isI orchestrated like what
products are going to whatstore, pull it off the shelf.
Then we have people that get itover here, then our retail
(12:48):
stores, they price it, store itfor a couple of weeks, and then
they pull it all out orwhatever.
Um, so really the warehouse iswhen it changed because before
the warehouse, things would haveto go to each store location.
We didn't have, we have verylittle storage at our stores.
And so they it would just haveto go into pods um that we would
(13:12):
get dropped in the parking lotin like August.
And so we would have to, wereally didn't know what we had.
Whereas now, when it all comesin the warehouse, it's all
getting put in put online.
We can see pictures of it, soit's easier on us to orchestrate
it, and then we tell our retailstores like these are our themes
of our trees, and then they takeit from there, and they did an
(13:35):
amazing job.
SPEAKER_03 (13:36):
They did great.
We only fixed a couple ofthings, which is really good
because ironically, did uhDylan, Wesley and I both hurt
our backs the same time thisweek, the same morning.
Yeah, I was like, I can't bendover, I'm not gonna be in this.
SPEAKER_02 (13:55):
Um and that seems to be happening a little more
often.
SPEAKER_03 (13:59):
Yeah, it gets it.
I hate to tell you.
SPEAKER_02 (14:02):
No, I know it gets worse, but here's the thing.
I'm eight years behind you.
Yeah, so in eight years, like Ifeel like mine is earlier.
But mine has been good until Ihad back trouble years ago, and
then it's been better.
And then the last six weeks,well, it started going back to
(14:26):
pulling Christmas stuff.
I was pulling all the Christmasitems and setting it down in the
aisle at the warehouse for themto bring it over here, and I was
lifting, I just I did too muchand it irritated it.
I can tell it's a muscle, so tolike spasm up, and I just
haven't been able to have therelief.
(14:46):
It's good today.
It gets challenging.
I know it does.
So, and that's why.
So this weekend was um thereset.
This past weekend was the resetof both retail stores, and
that's how we ended up gettingbehind on the podcast.
We were gonna do it on Sunday.
We were just like, oh, we'll doit um Sunday evening, but it we
just had too many things goingon.
(15:07):
We were just we were overoverzealous, and then coming up
this weekend, you are headed tothe high point furniture market.
Yes, Dylan is going for thefirst time, and for the first
time, I'm sitting it up, whichis fine.
SPEAKER_03 (15:26):
Only the second, this is only the second market
you've ever missed.
SPEAKER_02 (15:32):
Yes, we missed one day with COVID.
Uh-huh.
Well, they didn't even have themarket, did they?
No, no, we had planned to skipit.
SPEAKER_03 (15:41):
Yeah.
We had planned to skip a market,which was a problem.
You don't think it will be aproblem, but then it it is a
problem because you you don'thave those orders treated.
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (15:52):
Um, but this is the only one that I've skipped.
But I decided to because, oh mygosh, it's just so much going
on, honestly.
And you're the last few, yeah.
I'm trying to get a jump on thedecorating at my house for
holiday season.
I did put up my tree today.
It is gorgeous.
We both got new trees this year.
(16:12):
I'm so excited.
I didn't realize it was thetree, it's one of the quick
connects.
You just drop it in there.
Oh, it's amazing.
It is, it is good.
Um, but anyway.
So it's much easier.
Yeah, I'm trying to get a jumpon that.
B, um, I the last few years, thelast couple of years, I've been
(16:34):
ordering more like accessoriesand getting like live sales and
stuff set up at the market.
Um, especially with thefranchise owner shopping, y'all
kind of shop for differentthings and then I'd shop for
different things.
But the stuff that I typicallyshop for, we're good on right
now.
So I just decided I was like, Ican sit this one out and get a
(16:55):
jump on my get a reading onDylan.
SPEAKER_03 (16:58):
I don't know if he is excited.
Excited or another market.
I think he's excited, but he'slike, well, I'm gonna have to
work all weekend to get it.
Yeah, exactly.
This would be his first one.
This would be, yeah, so it'sit's good for him.
SPEAKER_02 (17:16):
I'm kind of a little, I don't know.
Um I feel like I might be alittle jelly because you know I
love a market.
I love a market, but at the sametime, I'm excited about getting
my house started decorating andstuff too.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
Um I was gonna say somethingabout that.
(17:36):
Oh, speaking of um our franchiseowners, Tina and I guess Mark.
Is Mark going?
Tina, Mark are going.
Um, they just had their one-yearanniversary.
One year.
So if you don't know, or maybeyou're new here, um, we have a
franchise store in Savannah,Georgia.
So if you're ever in Savannah,Georgia, look up the nested fig
(17:58):
home.
They just celebrated theirone-year anniversary, which is
crazy.
And it's beautiful.
Oh, it is a pretty store.
Um, and we haven't, I haven'tbeen down there since a couple
of weeks after they opened, Ithink.
We haven't had time.
Um, but I see it and like Italked to their store manager
today about something, and wetalk to the owners all the time.
(18:19):
Some people were asking me,like, how does that work or
whatever?
So, you know, they own the storeand um we have approved vendors
and they see what products we'reordering.
And when we're at market, eventhe Atlanta market, they'll come
and order and they'll see whatwe're ordering and they try to
replicate that and they throw insome of their elements too, or
whatever.
(18:39):
Um, so we just don't always showthat part or talk about that
part, I guess is the thing.
But yeah, our Savannah store orthe Savannah store, you have to
check it out if you're ever.
SPEAKER_03 (18:51):
Yeah, it's a it's a beautiful store.
It really is.
Yeah, I was telling her, I'mlike, okay, when can I go?
I think I'm gonna try to go fora long weekend in February.
Uh in like December.
It's hard because you know,you're buying gifts and you
know, you're wanting to go toNew York and and then we're
(19:13):
working every day.
It's true.
I mean, so literally we Wesleyand I have um about one week,
maybe 10 days to prepare forChristmas.
Yeah, and that's it.
It's crazy how fast it goes.
Because literally, like peoplealways ask, well, when are you
(19:34):
off?
We are not off.
Like a ri we do not have anofficial day off until other
than thank we'll be off onThanksgiving Day, which is
really not an odd day offbecause we're usually prepping
for something.
So we're really we work untilmid-December.
SPEAKER_02 (19:54):
Yeah, usually December 15th, and we're like,
okay, that's somewhere aroundthere, wherever it falls, we are
like, we're dead.
We're dead, we're out of steam,that's it.
We're done.
I can't give it anymore.
Yeah, that's we're done.
Yeah, everything's on sale.
Screw it.
We're done.
We're done.
Um, and then I usually rightafter that, I only have a couple
of days.
I end up going home to myparents' house into the sea.
(20:17):
And so it's like just runstogether, but it is crazy how
fast um all of that comes.
Uh, so that is the Savannahstore.
If you're there, make sure yougo um check it out.
But it's so exciting that youknow they've gotten past their
uh first year there.
I do want to go, I haven'ttalked about this.
(20:40):
I don't think my mom had time tolisten to the podcast, but
that's okay.
So next or just in a few days ismy mom's birthday.
It's a big birthday.
Big two.
Um, and so she's always wantedto go to New York City like
during the holiday season.
New York City.
I want to try.
We don't have anything plannedyet, but I want to try to take
(21:01):
like a week.
I mean, it's just gonna be likethree days or something.
Nothing, nothing crazy long.
Um, it's not like it's gonna be,you know, going and shopping and
buying.
She just wants to see the sightsand you know, everyone wants to
has that has she ever been?
Yeah, she's been to New York, sonot at Christmas.
Well, remember, we went and Igot a kidney stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (21:21):
She's New York City at Christmas.
Have you ever been forChristmas?
No, I've never been forChristmas.
That's why it is magical.
And I think like Lane would likeit.
It's magical.
It's something Lane wouldremember for the rest of her
life.
Right.
Um, you know, we have to dothings like take her ice skating
and that's the kind of thing Iwant to go to.
(21:44):
And I took my mom.
Do it.
Oh, yeah.
I took my mom and aren't youglad you did that?
No, absolutely.
So I mean, I took her multipletimes.
Um, yeah, you never regret that.
Yeah.
The only thing I regret, youknow, I took my mom, my mom to
(22:04):
England.
I took her a lot of places.
Vegas, England, you know, didall that, but I never took her
to Hawaii.
And that kind of haunts me tillthis to this day.
Yeah.
But my intent was to take her.
Like we were planning a trip toGreece.
My mom was gonna go.
Right.
But, you know, the time runsout.
(22:26):
That's why we have to live todaybecause we don't know what
tomorrow will bring.
Um, so Dylan is turning the big3-0 in January, and Daniel will
turn the big four-zero inJanuary.
So we're gonna do a trip.
I think we need to schedulethat.
Right.
(22:46):
Um, we're gonna do a big tripeither to uh one of the Hawaiian
Islands or we may do uhsomewhere in Europe, maybe
Spain, yeah, for their bigbirthdays.
But I did want to do somethingin January, and we're gonna be
at market for Dylan and Daniel.
SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
No, it's it is a little earlier.
Is it?
Yeah.
I was looking that up because Iwas like, I cannot be at market
on Daniel's 40th birthday.
I thought I thought it was I'lllook it up again, but I'm pretty
sure it is we get back rightbefore then.
SPEAKER_03 (23:26):
Um but we gotta do a little trip in January.
January, we're going to Dylanwanted to go to New York City.
Okay.
So we are going to be.
Well, we'd have to go somewhereelse too.
The second.
SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
Yeah, um, it ends on the 19th in January.
So we should be home like the20th.
We'll be home that day, usually.
Because we go a couple of daysearlier.
So because when's Dick Dylan'sbirthday?
The 21st?
Uh 25th.
25th.
And wait, his is the 25th?
(24:05):
And Daniel's is the 23rd?
I thought Dylan's was a day ortwo before.
No, okay.
So that's good.
So we need to do a littlesomething, something for that.
SPEAKER_03 (24:14):
So what Dylan wanna, I know I might, he's never been
to New York in January,February, not the winter.
Yeah.
I was like, I don't think youreally know how cold that is.
Because, like, it's cold inDecember.
Right.
But you feel like you're gonnadie in January and February.
(24:36):
It's the ice cube.
But I decided I know he wants togo there.
He wants to go to the diamonddistrict and get him something
special for his birthday, and Iwant that for him.
So we're gonna go.
And I'm not gonna stress aboutit.
If it's a blizzard, I'm staying.
SPEAKER_02 (24:53):
Okay, but why don't y'all go in December with us and
my mom, and you can do all thatthen?
Because that'd be almost lessthan a month from Red's birthday
or right around it, a littleover a month, and then we go
somewhere different theirbirthday weeks, like I say
Vegas, or we can do that too.
(25:16):
Because then he can have niceshopping in Vegas too.
We can do that too.
Something like that.
Yeah, I mean, we can do both.
SPEAKER_03 (25:22):
Y'all got some plans y'all want to plan out?
Because I'm thinking if itbecomes a snow blizzard, I'm
just gonna stay in bed.
It doesn't matter.
What I'm good.
Oh my goodness.
I'm good.
SPEAKER_02 (25:35):
I'm fine with being there in the winter.
Okay, I have something moving onfrom that.
Um, you know how I saw somethingon social media and it got my
brain spinning.
And I want to see, becauseyou're an OCD person.
Um we're both ADD, whatever,you're under control.
But so I feel like this playsinto that.
(25:55):
But you know, I talked aboutbefore days of the week to me.
To me, Monday, Wednesday, Fridayare even days in my head.
And Tuesday, Thursday are odddays.
You said you were opposite,right?
Yeah, those are the odd days.
No, Tuesday.
Monday, Monday, Wednesday,Friday's even.
(26:17):
Tuesday, Thursday's odd.
In my brain.
SPEAKER_03 (26:19):
No, but the reason, you know, I guess the reason
it's odd is it's three.
One, two, one, two, three.
It's like an odd number.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
That's odd.
Tuesday, Thursday's even.
And I even thought about that,even is how my brain translated
(26:39):
it in college.
Because you know, you would haveyour Monday, Wednesday, Friday
classes.
SPEAKER_02 (26:43):
Yeah, those are my classes.
SPEAKER_03 (26:45):
Tuesday, Thursday are the back classes.
SPEAKER_02 (26:47):
That's backwards.
Okay, that's but that's everyperson has their own.
Because what is an odd or evenday?
We made that up on our own.
You know what I'm saying?
We did, and I've thought aboutit too.
SPEAKER_03 (27:01):
So this kind of well, no, no, because this
changes such.
I thought too.
Um I in my mind, I've associatedcolors with days of the week.
Oh, yeah.
I haven't done that.
Just weird.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm and I'm not one ofthose people that has, you know,
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
(27:21):
Saturday paint panties and stufflike that.
But it's weird how you youvisualize things.
SPEAKER_02 (27:29):
So with that, I feel like this is next kin to that.
Someone was talking about on,and I could so relate to this,
talking on social media aboutuse like saving leftovers and
using, say, a Tupperwarecontainer, which is a brand.
But how to them round-shapedTupperware or containers are for
(27:55):
your soft foods, such as soups,salads, soft things, and your
square containers were for hardthings like meats, casseroles,
that sort of thing.
That's kind of true.
And I was like, that is true forme.
Like I would never put soup in asquare or rectangle.
SPEAKER_03 (28:16):
And you know why it is, because you slice the other
is in the shape.
Yeah.
That shape, you know.
SPEAKER_02 (28:24):
You slice a casserole up into squares and
scoop it out and put it in thereor whatever.
A bit of soup.
But like you can totally pourit.
Splitting whatever is gonna bein around, I guess, because of a
bowl.
But so why don't they just makeall the Tupperware and just a
square?
Like, you see what I'm saying?
That's total like apsychological thing.
(28:47):
Oh, it absolutely is.
But then some people in thecomments are saying no, like
they don't they just pull oneout and whatever it is, that's
it, or whatever it fits in.
SPEAKER_03 (28:58):
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, that is weird, but no.
Um that's the way I'm gonna betoo.
SPEAKER_02 (29:07):
And like you're not gonna like, I know you don't
like turkey and I don't eatmeat, but like if you slice up
turkey at Thanksgiving, you'renot gonna put that in a round
Tupperware.
No, that would just be wrong.
SPEAKER_03 (29:18):
I don't know.
That doesn't matter.
Isn't that weird?
That is weird that it's evenwrong.
Right.
But it's wrong.
Yeah, it's just wrong.
Some way, somehow, that's justnot right.
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (29:29):
So let us know again on the hotline.
You have to see it below.
Do you agree with this, or areyou just willy-nilly putting it
in whatever it fits in orwhatever you grab?
SPEAKER_01 (29:41):
I don't know.
I'm not, I'm not either.
I I couldn't do that.
SPEAKER_02 (29:46):
Um, okay, so that was funny.
And then the other um debatethat I saw um here.
Oh my gosh, I was voice textingon my damn phone.
Um, so I gotta think.
Um Uh a debate is uh doesanother like psychological
psychological does a straw haveone hole or two holes?
(30:10):
Like what has two ends, onehole.
Is that what you that's what Iwould say too?
Yeah.
Because a lot of people say, no,it's two holes because you can
flip it either way and it's ahole.
But to me, it's one continuoushole.
Yeah, it's one hole with twoends.
Yeah, it's like a pipe.
Yeah, that's how I agree.
That's how I think.
But I guess people thinkdifferently um on that.
(30:34):
Well, that's weird.
When we think about that one,they're wrong.
Um, yeah, because I'm like, it'sone continuous hole with two
ends.
But what's the top and thebottom?
No, I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_03 (30:50):
Do you have any Southernisms this week?
Southernisms.
I was listening to one lady.
Or did you not bring anything?
SPEAKER_02 (30:56):
Have you ever heard uh wait?
What was the one I said in thatum someone called me out in a
live sale?
Um I said something, it was herelike last night.
I said, and I was like, is thata southernism?
And you were like, that's asouthernism.
What was that?
It wasn't willy-nilly, butsomething um I said just it was
(31:21):
something like that.
I can't remember what it wasnow.
A good old Southernism.
So um the containers and theshapes.
SPEAKER_03 (31:37):
This is, you know, the lady with it was a
91-year-old talking aboutSouthern things.
Uh-huh.
And one thing she said is uhfull of piss and vinegar.
SPEAKER_02 (31:52):
That just means you're like full of crap and
sour.
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03 (31:57):
That you're just uh bitter.
No.
Mean.
Mean?
Mean and bitter?
No, just mean and rambuctious.
Yeah, a person who is brimmingwith aggressive energy, fighting
spirit, boy, boisterousenthusiasm.
(32:20):
Some days you're full of pissand vinegar.
SPEAKER_02 (32:23):
That that's some days you come in.
I think I'm pretty made up ofpiss and vinegar.
I think some days you come inhot and hot and bothered.
We both were on Monday.
It was almost a bad day.
We were both on the side.
I could punch somebody somedays.
Aggressive.
(32:44):
Why is that?
I wasn't in a bad mood.
But I was like, there's justsome days you just want to beat
the shit out of somebody.
I was definitely feelingaggressive on Monday.
I was like, calm it down.
I don't know what it was.
Maybe it's a maybe our cycleshave synced down.
SPEAKER_00 (33:01):
I I don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (33:03):
Do men have cycles?
I think they probably do.
SPEAKER_03 (33:06):
I think so.
SPEAKER_02 (33:07):
I think there's definitely hormone cycles.
You can whatever.
SPEAKER_03 (33:13):
But that doesn't well they say, uh, you know, I
take melatonin about everynight.
Do you, Dylan?
Uh Daniel does too.
And they say doctors say thatmelatonin can affect your
hormone balances.
Oh.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's what's wrong withDaniel Domsky.
I don't know.
(33:34):
I don't know if that's true.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (33:36):
But it can disrupt your like hormone.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (33:39):
Yeah, and it's not necessarily bad for you.
SPEAKER_02 (33:42):
It just can affect throw it hormones up.
Hmm.
They don't take anything likethat.
The only thing I take is our C BD gummies to sleep.
But I don't take I don't use theones with melatonin in them.
SPEAKER_03 (33:57):
I just because I don't have a problem falling
asleep, like I've said before.
I love it.
But now my now I wake up at like4 45 every morning.
Oh my god.
Do you fall back?
Then you fall back asleep.
I I tried.
You gotta be up for aboutbecause you're in that age.
Get up and pee, lay back downand try to fall back asleep.
(34:18):
Do you scroll on your phone?
Yeah.
I mean, it's just awful.
30 minutes.
Because when I was younger, Iwent to bed and I would I could
sleep for two days.
I know.
SPEAKER_02 (34:28):
Those those types of sleeps get narrower and
narrower.
Like less and less.
Like the other day, I slept likethat.
Like it was the sleep you havewhen you were in college and
just came home in the middle ofthe day and was like or
whatever, because you wanted totake a nap.
I slept like that and I waslike, oh, I haven't slept like
(34:50):
that in so long.
Although I think that's whatmade me aggressive.
I got up and I was like, why amI awake?
I don't know.
Um, so if you are local, I dowant to mention this.
If you are local to Greenville,South Carolina, we have a few
events coming up for our holidayseason for the um Christmas
season here locally.
(35:11):
So November 6th is uh martinisand mistletoe at our garden
store, and that is from 5 to 8.
Our garden store is here, theNessa Fig Garden here on Augusta
Road.
Um, and that is our kickoffparty for the garden store for
the holiday season.
We'll have some food and drinks,do it accounts, giveaway, all of
(35:35):
that kind of fun things.
So that is Thursday, November6th.
Then Thursday, November 13th ishere at our home store where we
are now.
Uh, we have candy canes andcocktails, and um, it's from
five to eight as well.
Food and drinks and similarthing, but you get to see the
whole collection, um, Christmascollection here.
(35:58):
Uh, and then November 15th and16th are on weekend, and that's
our two-day Christmas openhouse.
So if you can't make it in theevening, you just want to drop
in those two days.
We have different specials andtreats and different things for
them.
SPEAKER_03 (36:12):
And we'll probably just, whatever we're doing,
we'll probably just run itthrough the weekend or something
like that.
Through the weekend.
Because when last year, I thinkwe had our cocktails and candy
cane or martinis and mistletoe,and we just kept it going.
Yeah.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (36:28):
Um, they used to, that's really close together.
The two-day open house is alsoon the Sunday, the 16th, if
you're in the area, all of ourstreet has an open house from
one to five.
We have always done a two-dayChristmas open house.
Because why wouldn't you?
We do, we do double the money isbasically it.
(36:48):
But also, they're so closetogether now because we used to
have, we always have our um ourcocktail ones uh the first two
Thursdays in November.
And then there used to be abreak, and then there was the
two-day open house was theweekend before Thanksgiving
(37:09):
every year.
Well, the street moved theirsup, so that had to move up with
that.
So it's kind of why it all, it'skind of like, why are you having
all that together?
But that that's the differencethere.
So if you're in the area, um,make sure you come see us at our
home store and garden store.
And if you're not in the area,then remember you need to be
shopping with us at the nestedfig.

Augusta Road, where we are, wasthe first one that did it so
late, like right up next toThanksgiving.
Um, a lot of businesses do itlike end of October.

ornaments.
That's random.
SPEAKER_02 (41:42):
Who pulled that behind?
Is that someone we're gonna haveto tow?
I think she's okay.
We've been having a problem hereat the home store, not to call
out any neighbors or anything.
No, we have a um a restaurantthat opened uh a deli that
opened, which is very good.
It's very good.
We like the owners andeverything like that.
We're very neighborly.
(42:03):
I mean, I'm never here, sowhatever.
But no, but um they went viralon TikTok and randomly for just
one sandwich, and all of theirpatrons have been parking in our
parking lot and it's become areally bad issue.
So we now have just today'ssigns are going up.
And I hate to be that sore.
SPEAKER_03 (42:24):
I don't want to, we don't want to do that, but we
don't have a choice.
And they're super nice.
We've met with them, theyunderstand.
You know, we're not doing it tobe assholes by any means, but um
we just have to get ourcustomers have to have parking.
SPEAKER_02 (42:39):
So the point of that is Steven's on standby for
calling the toy truck at thispoint.
The toy truck is like that.
I really do.
Um, so hopefully we have a lotof parking here at our home
store, our property came with.
Um it's all ours, but we'replaying nice.
So we're only putting signs upin a few so that it reserves
(42:59):
parking for our yeah.
SPEAKER_03 (43:01):
We have a lot of parking and we put signs in less
than half.
Yeah.
So hopefully that's much nicerthan that.
SPEAKER_02 (43:09):
But when someone's pulling up, I'm like, um, who's
that?
