She lives in Greenville.

And she's like oh, hell, yeah.
She said, one woman came in andI had to do.
(02:46):
She was so hairy I had to doher after hours and I had to put
her on all fours.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I thought that's what they did anyway.

ashley from the sassy barn on.

We can dig deeper now I feel like I think she said
she would Never do that again.
I think the wax Too hot.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She was, I think, burned and red and scarred and
things were missing.
I don't know what goes on downthere.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I can't imagine I want you to get a Brazilian.
Come on, if I had my dad's darkskin, I would do it just for a
great story.
Yeah, but I don't.
I have my mother's white, pastygerman skin and no, no, no, no,
(04:32):
no your sense, your skin issensitive anyway you would be
red.
I mean, I can't use a differentdeodorant without a breakout.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
listen, he talks about that.
His skin is sensitive.
He's pale.
You can see.
If he gets a cut, you're goingto see it for 10, 12 months, but
this fool wants to get afacelift at some point.
Oh, I'm going to, and you'regoing to be able to see the
whole line around your scalp,doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm good with it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You just I'm good with it.
I'm good with it.
I don't care when people arelike hell, yeah, I did Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I don't care.
I mean, there's no shame ingetting a facelift.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I don't care, I would rather.
No.
It's not the only scar I have.
I've got a scar going acrossthe back of my head and it's
funny when I get my when theywhen he cuts my hair a little
too short sometimes and it'sfunny.
One time he cut it so short.
Dylan was like I can stand hereand I see your scar across the
(05:37):
back of your head from your hairtransplant.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know it is what it is.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah, I mean I would ratherhave a little scar around my
ears than, you know, my facehanging down about my belly
button.
Well, it's on its way.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm just kidding, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Do you have a target?
I mean because you'll be veryopen about getting a facelift or
whatever.
I mean and I would say aboutI'm not.
I don't think I will get afacelift.
I'm not saying I wouldn't, butI would be very open.
It's like I go get Botox.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I don't care.
Am I thinking a year?
Yeah, do you have 2027?
I think I'm going to do it, you?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
do January 27th You'll be mid-50s Be a good time
to get it done.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, no, no, Y'all are going to get to see the whole
thing, so you got to stickaround that long.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Y'all are going to get to see the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This is like a two-year cliffhanger.
There's no need to try to hideit.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's what saying.
I would be very open if I hadsomething.
Now I will I do, or I will sayI'm not doing an upper, I do not
.
Really, a lot of my personalityis in my eyes.
I don't.
I'm fine with the littlewrinkles there, I'm fine with
that, and I kind of, when I hadmy hair transplant, kind of had
a brow lift, you know, becausethat tightens your whole head,
yeah, so I don't really needthat, so I'm just focusing more
(07:08):
on lower.
Okay, just pick, picking thisup and your chin, yeah, under
there, yeah, just tighten allthis up.
Yeah, just, I'm gonna have thedeep planing done, I'm gonna
have lipo and yeah well, itsounds like a good time I mean
I'm sure it's going to be ablast and I'm sure I hope
dylan's still around stickingaround
Speaker 1 (07:28):
oh yeah, he's not.
Oh my gosh, when he had hishair transplant done, he wasn't
dating anybody at the time Iasked him to bring me food.
Never did I hope we've toldthis story before, because I was
mad Are you going to hang on tothis story?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I was pissed.
We didn't have DoorDash in thatcountry.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't care, you're fine.
I'm not even rehashing it again.
You shouldn't have called me atan inconvenient time to ask for
food.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's how he is y'all.
That is how he left me.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He should have prepared and had some food in
your damn house.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh, it was supposed to be a piece of cake.
It wasn't even supposed to bean issue.
It's easy.
It's easy.
You have just a few down daysand you're good Lies.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Daniel keeps saying he might get a hair transplant
one day.
I hope you don't mind me sayingthat.
Well, I already said it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, you might not want to wait too much longer,
because at some point you can't.
Oh, because you lose too muchdonor hair.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And I don't think he would care talking about that
either getting that done.
I mean, I don't think he hasanything, I don't think he's
bothered by talking about it.
He just said I think I'm goingto do that one day, so in case
we.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
If you're going to do it, do it mid-30s.
Yeah, Because the longer youwait, the less donor hair you
have and they can't do it Well.
So if I had my time to go over,I would have done even more, go
all out.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The only thing daniel's worried about is, you
know they don't put you to sleepor whatever, and he passes out
from getting shots.
Sometimes it was horrible.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He will make it through that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I'm just telling you well, he can just, you'll just
pass out and you'll be fine, andthen you'll come to and pass
out.
I got sick twice.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It was horrible.
It was eight in my mind, butyou know technology has changed
a lot in 15 years.
My surgery was eight and a halfhours long and they made 4,000
hairs.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I don't think it's that intense anymore, I
think it's improved.
Since you've done that and somany people go to like Turkey to
get it done, I'll have to askour.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I'm not.
I would not go out of countryto have it done.
Because the reason you have tobe careful going out of the
country I know you can do things, they do it well, the results
look good and it's cheaper.
But you have to be very carefuldoing things out of the country
and I would never promote thatbecause when you come back to
(10:13):
the United States if you've hadsome kind of complications, no
doctor's going to touch you,You're screwed, it's a liability
issue and you could die andpeople do.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, you've got infection set in.
You want to risk it or not?
Yeah, yeah, but see sometimesgoing out of that country, like
I feel like turkey and I'm notpromoting any of it, but that is
there.
They've put a lot into thatindustry so they're on the
forefront of doing it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Listen, I know I know I have friends here in
Greenville.
The fools went and I will sayit, I don't care who, whatever
went to Mexico and had gastricbypass surgery.
Right, nothing against Mexicoor anywhere.
I'm not going and havingsomething like that done In a
(11:04):
foreign country where you can'tbe at home.
If it's France or Italy.
No, no, no, no, and that's asurgery where people have had
complications.
Then a doctor here won't touchyou because you know, Wow, I
mean I don't know, but a lot ofpeople are going to Turkey and I
(11:24):
have to say, they do good.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, they do good work.
So our brother-in-law, daniel'smiddle brother's husband, he
just got hair transplant done inbrazil.
I mean, he just had it donelike last week, so I guess I
don't know.
I had to talk to him and seehim soon.
So so I had to talk to him andask him about it and if you're
thinking about a hair transplantor whatever?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
research, research research.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
He got his done in Brazil, but that's where he's
from.
Yeah, so that makes sense.
Yeah, and he was able to staywith family and that sort of
thing.
So I can't wait to talk to himand see like how it was there.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And I really researched.
I learned way too much abouthair follicles that I ever
wanted to know.
But, um, and I don't want tobash any companies on here, but
I would just say, if you're everthinking about it and a lot of
a lot of women are doing itnowadays um, I highly recommend
(12:23):
it.
If, if your hair bothers, youhighly recommend doing it, and
technology is a lot better nowthan when I did mine.
Um, but just research.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Research, research, research, and look at the
lawsuits pending against variouscompanies.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, you, know it used to be one main company we
won't name, but they were kindof the ones that started, or
mass started it, and now theirway is so out.
Are they even around anymore?
I'm sure they are in some sense.
But so Stephen had his donelocally.
Back to let me clear my nameNow.
(13:03):
I think we've talked about thisbefore and it was supposed to be
easy breezy blah, blah, blah,blah, blah.
And he had it done and it endedup being on a weekend of us I
think it was our spring openhouse, or no, it would have been
Christmas open house, becausehe had it done right before
Christmas and it was very busyat the stores, christmas open
(13:23):
house.
And he calls me in the middleof it and was like hey, can you
bring me some food?
And I was like, yeah, but it'sgoing to be a while.
You know whatever it was.
And listen, it was probably twoo'clock when he called.
It was in the middle of the dayand we close at six, so it
wasn't like poor little thingover here was going to starve to
death.
I was starving.
(13:44):
Well, but anyway, yes, Icouldn't bring him the food, and
he's never let me live.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So I chose to have a plastic surgeon do mine.
Yeah, but here's the thing aplastic surgeon do mine.
Yes, but here's the thingPlastic surgeon cut me and did
my stitching and all that.
But then she flew a hair techin from Beverly Hills and did my
hair transplant.
(14:09):
Oh so he was exceptional and Ireally didn't know all the
details of that until I gotthere.
And you know, you spend eightand a half hours with somebody.
You kind of learn all kinds ofstuff, but his head of hair was
unbelievable.
But now you know he also doesthat for a living.
But it was like just like fabioor something I was like that's
(14:34):
crazy yeah yeah it wasinteresting well, you know get a
little.
You know get a little nip, tuckand pull the most important
thing, I think, with a hairtransplant and, um, they did
great with mine is don't loweryour hairline so that it's
awkward yeah, you don't want itto look too.
(14:56):
Just fill it in.
It's not going to.
You're never going to look likeyou're 18 and you don't want to
.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, cause it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
if you have a perfect , just fill it in a little, yeah
, color it in a little, yeah,little little filler.
It is traumatic because they dothe transplant and then it's
traumatic because they do thetransplant.
And then it starts growing andthen all of it falls out.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And then over a year it comes back.
But now, when they did yours,they didn't shave your whole
head, did they?
I don't remember them doingthat.
I mean they shaved where theywere doing it, but not the whole
head.
Like I feel like now they shavethe whole head.
Oh really, and I'm going tohave have to ask did they do the
cut across the back?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
no, no, a lot of what they're doing now is they.
Are they, like I said,technology's so advanced.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They're just like taking out a follicle and then
putting it in so maybe that'swhy they shaved the whole head
yeah, so they can see.
So they're dispersing it.
They're not taking a a section,they're, yeah, doing it evenly
they took a half an inch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's a ribbon out of my.
It is a lot.
That's why I'm saying I had my,my brow lift.
I could not been.
I could not look down like thisfor weeks it felt like it was
going to rip my head.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It was so tight from getting stretched.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
If I wanted to wipe my ass, I just had to look down
just a little bit and it wasright there.
I could just go.
You're saying, it pulled yourass up.
My asshole ended up right thereon my shoulder.
If I just looked down a little,it was like right here I could
just you are nuts yeah.
(16:44):
So I don't think they do thethe cutting, but honestly I
wouldn't change that necessarilybecause it it like I said.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It did give me a little bit of a brow lift yeah,
I was like kind of two for onelittle action and it wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It's not painful at all, it was just uncomfortable
yeah, and that's all yeah, it'snot painful at all, it was just.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
but you said afterwards too, you know, after
you were in the bed for a fewdays and then it was the holiday
season, so you were, you had togo out like shopping and stuff
and people you were like youwere bruised, I was bruised and
I and I kept it wrapped, causethat was the one thing.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, she was like you have open wounds at the cut
in my head.
You have to keep the medicineon it.
You have to keep it covered ifyou're out.
So I did look like I had hadbrain surgery, I'm sure, but
it's just these dumbasses.
You know, I would be, you know,at the mall or wherever,
(17:51):
christmas shopping, yeah, and Icouldn't wear a cap.
So I had to have my headbandaged and I just kind of just
fluffed my hair over it as much.
You can't, you could see.
And the medicine, I don't knowif it's still the same, but the
medicine then was like electricblue.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh Lord.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
So the electric blue was seeping through the bandages
.
I mean, I'm sure I look like adamn hot mess, but I didn't care
at that point.
And you know, go to pay whathappened to your head.
And I was with a friend of mine, josh, and I said you know the
next person that asked me whathappened to my head.
(18:34):
They're going to get one hellof a story.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
And he's like oh my God, because this is what
Stephen will do in real life.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You're going to ask me, in front of a million people
, what happened to your head.
So the next time I go to pay.
And then that person said whathappened to your head?
I mean, who asked that?
I said, oh my gosh, I wasdriving and my meth lab blew up
in the back of my Ford Explorerand they were like this is how
(19:04):
pitiful they were.
They were like, oh damn.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh, that's too funny.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
That's a true story, oh my gosh.
That's too funny.
That's a true story, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That is too funny.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
So yeah, when I have my facelift, I'm sure that those
when I go what happened to yourface?
We'll go.
Well, I was really ugly, so Ihad that shit cut off and this
one put on.
Let's hope it sticks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Let's hope it sticks the other day.
Uh, so well, we'll move on fromthat.
So you're gonna get a facetransplant eventually.
Transplant facelift a complete.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We're gonna start calling it a transplant.
I'm going in for my facetransplant.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
A complete tear down and rebuild?
Yes, a transplant eventually,but we got a couple of years.
I can't wait to watch throughthat process.
But the other day you weretelling a funny story and I was
like you got to tell this on.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The podcast is about your a your neighbor's cat hell,
y'all lord oh my goodness sookay, y'all know I'm crazy and
ocd and just a lunatic ingeneral, and one one of my many
(20:36):
pet peeves is I cannot standdamn notes this is a thing for
both of us.
I can't stand notes and signs,taped and junked windows.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah and just like at our retail stores.
You know how you'll go into aretail store and there's that.
Do not do this and do that thanthis and you must do this like
signs everywhere.
That drives me crazy.
Like no food or drink allowed,yeah, like and they and what I
really love.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean that really just gets me going, I mean I
just love it.
Like if you go to a McDonald's,you know, and you're about to
pee your pants and you go toopen the door and it says we are
closed due to equipment issues.
Sorry for the incontinence.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Incontinence instead of inconvenience.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Handwritten.
You know, it looks like theyhad the paper turned cockeyed
and something is just going tobe spelled.
Completely wrong, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
But I hate going into a store and there's all these
signs.
It just drives me crazy.
And that's one thing we'vealways been like no, and you
know what it is is some retailowners, store owners, business
owners can be for anything.
They think every issue thatcomes up along the way and we've
had employees like this We'vehad to be like no, take it down,
(22:06):
take it down Is any issue thatcomes up, we're going to make a
sign for it, like it's going tostop it from occurring again.
And then you end up with like75.
We're addressing everything.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's like I bought one McDonald's and this is
seriously and this was my, thisis an all-time favorite.
So back in the day, inMcDonald's, like for special
sandwiches, cheeseburger, noonions, we used a sticker to
hold that on there.
And I bought this McDonald'sand they used the stickers
(22:44):
instead of tape for all theirnotes, so they just have those
stickers stuck around everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They were everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh my God, I mean stickers, like you couldn't even
see the cabinet doors becausethey had just kept putting them
up there yeah so my mother, herjob her job was.
She was like what do you wantme to do?
And I said I want you to go buya gallon of goo gone and clean
(23:12):
the stickers and take down everynote, every sign and get
stickers off of everything.
Yeah, I'd never seen anythinglike it.
Yeah, and she did.
It took days.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I'm sure it did, so that's where this story starts.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay, so back to the cat.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So I go home, yeah, and I'm driving in the gate, in
my gate, to go to the cat.
So I go home, yeah, and I'mdriving in the gate, in my gate
to go in the back, you know,have to stop and swipe my card
and there's a sign hanging, andwe've already covered how much I
love that and it's laminated.
I mean it's done very well ifyou're going to do one.
(23:55):
It was done very well.
Somebody took a lot to do one.
It was done very well.
Somebody took a lot of time andspent a lot of money on these
sons and it was a lost cat fromthe neighborhood next door.
Not even ours.
Yeah, and I'm like, okay, andyou know, and I'm talking to
myself, I'm like okay, stephen,they've lost their cat.
(24:15):
Don't be an asshole.
Just, it's not hurting anythingout here on this, you know,
pole, yeah, so I left it.
Yeah, well, I don't know howthe heifer got onto our property
.
She obviously crawled a fencesomewhere.
They were on every entrancedoor into the building.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, and like have you seen this cat?
And it wasn't even someone fromyour building no, yeah, so
those got taken down.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I'm like, okay, this is ridiculous and this isn't
your property, like you have noway.
No, yeah.
And my God, this went on forlike five or six weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
And you said they just kept appearing everywhere.
Just sign after sign.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, dylan was like what is up with this?
I'm like I don't know, butsomebody needs to tell her the
cat is dead with this.
I'm like I don't know, butsomebody needs to tell her the
cat is dead, it's dead, it'sgone, it ain't coming back.
I mean, I was over the cat,yeah, okay.
(25:30):
So this goes on and on and on,and then finally, one of the
other board members is verballycommunicating with this lady and
the cat was home after like sixweeks.
Yeah, so this all happenedright after Christmas.
So this has been.
You know, this is all recent.
So they had family visiting forthe holiday at Christmas from
(25:54):
Lake Lanier.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Georgia In Georgia, so it would be a couple
Christmas from Lake Lanier,georgia In Georgia, so it would
be a couple hours from us.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
A couple hours Several peace stops, a gas stop,
probably a food stop, and youknow major interstate, yeah, you
know 80 mile an hour travel.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, I guess they were talking, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
The two family members the two family members.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They were catching up .
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
And the people on Lake Lanier said you know, we
had this little cat, take uphere, take up here.
We got a cat now, oh up here.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Take up here we got a cat now.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, and sent the other person a picture.
You know how we all sendpictures, isn't fluffy?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
cute.
Look at Miss Puss.
It was their cat.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The cat had gotten in the engine of the car.
Yeah, Somehow crawled up fromthe tire into the engine of the
car.
Yeah, Somehow crawled up fromthe tire into the engine in a
safe spot and had I guess whereit was warm, and had ridden in
that car all the way to LakeLanier Isn't that crazy.
(27:10):
And then was crawled out andwas like hello.
Well, they didn't know thatthey were looking for their cat.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
But how did they not know?
Like that's Sharon, we'll callher.
I don't know her name, butthat's Aunt Sharon's cat.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
But I'm guessing the cat was outside and it climbed
in and they just left.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, didn't know, maybe they never saw Sharon's
cat or something, I don't know.
That's so, and now they've beenloving on this cat for six
weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
That's done and showed up at their house and
they got to give the cat back,and now they got to give the cat
back.
So now that's awkward.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But the sign stopped, I guess.
Yeah, that's funny, that'sawkward.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
It was weird.
That's funny, that's awkward,it was weird.
The whole thing was weird.
And listen, I love dogs andcats and emus and goats and I
love them all, but at some point, when do you say, the cat's
gone right?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
well, look, she didn't give up hope and she's
got her cat back.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
She loved.
Let me tell you that cat isloved.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But so weird for it to be an outside cat.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I mean you would think with that much into it
that would have been an insidecat that never.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You would think that was the inside cat that escaped
somehow.
And now, you're.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Maybe that was the case, maybe it escaped during
the, I don't know.
But then you would think thefamily member would have been
like oh, is this the cat you'relooking for?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's what's so weird about it.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
But in all fairness, but if we drove from Atlanta and
a cat appeared, we wouldn'tthink that cat is really from
Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, Because that's so far-fetched?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I guess that's true too.
I mean, no one would think that.
Have you guys ever had anythinglike that happen?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, you know, and you hear stories where cats make
it back home or you weretalking a few episodes ago and
that was different but homingpigeons can fly.
But you know, you've heard likedogs get lost and then show up
years later and that sort ofthing.
Do you have a funny story likethat?
Text us or call us and leave usa voicemail on our hotline
864-982-5029.
(29:28):
But wouldn't it get?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
awkward, like if your dog or your cat had been
missing for like two and a halfyears and you'd kind of moved on
.
Yeah, you moved on, and gottena new dog or a cat and then your
old one shows up and you'relike Like we really don't have a
place for you anymore.
This is so awkward, I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
It's true.
Are you just so happy to see it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Or we were like yeah, we really were happy, you were
gone.
Yeah, like we kind of missedyou for a minute, but then it's
really like fluffy over here isway better.
You know, right?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I always wonder that too when I hear those stories.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You know we missed you, but now that we have Fluffy
, you know, and sometimes it'slike six years later, I mean six
years ago One lady I watchedsomething on TV, it was 11 years
and she got her cat back.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then you got to take care of it when it's old,
after being gone.
For If I get another, dog orcat.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm not doing that chip.
I mean, listen, if you're goneafter a certain amount of time,
you're gone.
Oh my God, You're not comingback.
This isn't no.
Those chips can be bad, that'strue.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That is true, caw, if you do move on and you don't
have the room for it, and thenit's like, oh, I don't really
want this one anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, we moved, we downsized, you know this is.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You have some funny things happen at the loft, which
just reminded me oh God, Isthis like let me see how many
torturous things we can talkabout.
Two episodes in a row.
We're going to do awkward,Steven, things you have I guess
mine are just so much moreboring than yours.
Or, like I said, you have topull it out in the other person,
(31:24):
so I don't think you're good atlike I don't know having good
things and we're out here on thefarm so it's not as much
awkward.
But you know how, Stephen, thisis a good story.
Have we ever told this story?
I don't know.
Hold on, you know how Stephenis in very particular and very
surprising for me that he hasmade it in this community living
situation, loft living, youknow where you've got neighbors
(31:46):
on top of you.
You know, because he'sparticular, Like you said,
hanging the sign, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
But we really don't hear.
It's so quiet.
We really don't hear anyonebeing on, like the back corner
of the building.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I know, but you still have to deal with like a board
and you have to deal with peoplecomplaining and putting up
signs and that sort of thingPain in the ass, people Ugly
wreaths on their door that youhave to walk by.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There's some ugly shit y'all on these doors Y'all
I need.
I really need to.
I need to do a whole Instagramthing on that, but you know,
some of them follow us.
It's going to get on court butthey need to get.
I even thought about leavingthem like a note and a gift card
like $25 off or any wreathtoward a wreath because you need
(32:33):
one bad Bad off, or any wreathtoward a wreath because you need
one bad.
I mean, there's one door y'alland it has.
I need to start taking.
I'm going to start postingthese.
It is a cotton, real cottonwreath, you know, and I used to
love those.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, oh, cotton had its moment.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I loved it.
This one is literally probablyabout 10 to 12 years old.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh, so it's getting ratty, it looks like you have,
like, made it oval.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
You've pushed it back , we made it square.
We mean it is just it, don'tknow which way, and it's just
kind of given.
You know it is just it don'tknow which way, and it's just
kind of given.
You know, it's just flop, theyput, they use, they decorate
this damn thing for everyholiday.
(33:28):
So Christmas we get a Christmasbow, and it's one of those bows
that they've had in a box intheir dresser that's been mashed
up and then fluffed out.
And listen, I'm making fun ofthem.
They're not poor, very far fromit.
Okay, let's just go ahead andput it out there.
Ain't nobody that lives in thatbuilding that cannot afford.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
A $100 re, exactly so you deserve to get made fun of.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Exactly yeah, they can, so they, you deserve to get
made fun of, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Cause I know, I know what you paid.
We're not working on limitedresources.
No we're not.
We're not.
It's limited resources, but itain't money.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Let's go ahead.
It's limited resources and soyou had to bring that up.
That brings out the rage in mewhen we talk about the reason.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
This hasn't even gotten to the story I want to
bring up, but we'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh, it just makes me mad sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think you should go through and take them and say
leave a note and say I'm helpingyou out.
As you know, communitybeautification I have removed
your door decor because it didnot meet the standards.
However, here is a and givethem like a $50 gift card to the
nested pig.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It would be so worth it, you know, and it would help
everybody out and you wouldn'tget not.
At least I know what they went,and it would help everybody out
and you wouldn't get not.
At least I know what they wentand picked would be great.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We could even do it online and do a collection of
ones that you approve and putthat link on there with the QR
code, so when they scan it, theycould be shipped right to their
door and it brings up thatcollection, the approved
mealsals Meal collection youknow, I think it probably needs
(35:18):
to be a thing.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, it probably does.
And Dylan, we were walking inlast night and it was funny, you
bring this up.
Dylan was looking at one andthey just leave this son of a
bitch up here year round and itis.
I don't even know what it isit's like.
It's like a fake lemon leaf.
(35:41):
It has got one red flower on it.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Just right there.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And it's on a white command hook and you see, it's
like hello.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
That's even worse when it's on the command hook.
Fyi, you shouldn't be able tosee the command hook.
If you're hanging anything onthe command hook, you don't want
to see the command hook.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You just got my blood pressure up, Well good.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So let's keep going, see how, see, okay, right there
you can hear the tone in hisvoice.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, but I had these issues in my old neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You can see.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But in my old neighborhood I addressed it a
lot more than I do here Becauseit's a little.
When you're connected, it's alittle.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
A little more awkward if you were to call someone out
here, versus With my neighborsin my old neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I would just like you know.
When I was getting in my car Iwas like you need to get rid of
that wreath, yeah you would.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You need to take that old thing down.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
It's looking, it looks bad, and they would, or,
or what we had this.
I forgot about this.
Do you remember when I wouldtell people, mm-mm, that door,
that paint on that door is wrongand I would leave the paint
samples?
Ha ha ha.
I can't believe I did that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You would do it again .
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, thank God we don't have paint.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh my gosh, if y'all had doors that were painted.
So anyway, you can see or hearby the tone of this voice what
I'm talking about, that I'msurprised he's lasted this long
living in such tight quarters,although you said like you don't
see them.
But you have to deal withthings like that, the cat sign
appearing and you know, justsimple frustrations.
(37:30):
But the biggest thing is likewhen someone has a leak above
your loft and it drips down intoyour kitchen?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yes, because my floor plan is not like anyone in the
building, which means I had tostudy the floor plans above me
to know where everything is.
Yeah, so I know where.
Every now I know where.
So so I came home years ago.
(38:04):
Oh, it's been six he was cominghome seven years ago and there
would be water on your soapywater kitchen counter on my
island, mm hmm, soapy water isimportant.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, not water Soapy water would be on your kitchen
island.
This went on for a little whileand he was pissed, because it
was he found the unit.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
It was a doctor.
A doctor owns the unit above me.
They no longer live there, theyrent it.
And I called them and said Ihave this issue.
Yeah, you need to come overhere.
We got and they did.
They did and they jackhammered,they tore the whole bathroom
(38:56):
out Because it went on for awhile.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Yeah, it was like oh, let's try to unstop it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
So they just said you know, we're just tearing out
the whole bathroom.
I mean, they jackhammered thefloor, they gutted the bathroom,
put a whole new bathroom in.
I was like, okay, this is good.
Then, like six months later,poof back.
I was like what in the hell?
(39:24):
And I called them and they'relike it's not possible.
And I'm like it's possible it'sright here on my I've got the
the photos, you know, and theywere like, so they brought their
contractor over the peopleupstairs.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
That were renting that were renting.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Y'all wait wait for it.
They, the contractor, came backand told me so the doctor that
owns the unit is they're fromIndia, so the you know there's a
language barrier that owns theunit is they're from India, so
the you know, there's a languagebarrier.
And so the contractor came andwas telling me and she was with
(40:11):
him they had taken caulk andstocked up the overflow valve
the renters.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
The renters had Because they liked hanky-panky
in the bathtub and they wereflooding, flooding it over and
flooding my kitchen so they hadto be clear the renters, even
after they had put in a brandnew whole bathroom.
(40:34):
Which means they didn't evenneed that bathroom.
Yeah, they had taken and filledup so that the overflow didn't
work and so that they could getit on in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They wanted the water level higher.
Yeah, it was too chilly.
You can't make this shit up.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Is that what they told them?
That's what they told the?
And so they were wanting thewater level higher.
But then, during hanky pankytime, the water was overflowing
because the drain was stoppedComing in my kitchen, dripping
down on your kitchen counter.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That is gross on so many levels.
But the story gets better.
I don't even know if youremember this.
So then, like five years Idon't know if it was five years
ago we were on vacation.
The four of us were on vacationsomewhere Maybe it's in hawaii
and um, we come home and there'ssoap suds in the kitchen floor
(41:42):
different and I'm like where,what in the hell?
Yeah, so I go up to the condoabove me and I'm like that's,
this is a whole new renter.
I check, I personally checkthere's no leaks, like what is
this.
So I'm like well, let me go tothe fourth floor.
(42:02):
So I went up to the next floor,didn't know, the guy was like
and young professional guy, andI was like, um, because it
happened, like the night ithappened again.
Yeah, I went upstairs and I waslike hey, um, you know I'm
Steven, um, you know I live blah, blah, blah and I was like, I
(42:24):
know this is a weird question,but did you just take a bath?
And he was like yeah, I did.
I was like a bath, not a showera bath.
He was like uh, yeah, I did, Iwas like a bath, not a shower a
bath.
He was like a bath and I waslike well, we have a problem
because you seem really nice,but I don't care to take a bath
with you.
And right now we're bathingtogether.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
How did that end?
What was the problem there?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Well, the overflow in that unit was never connected.
So he would get in the masterbath and take a bath and the
water would come over and it wasgoing into the overflow valve,
but it wasn't connected toanything.
So it was just running throughthe building and it made its way
(43:15):
into my kitchen.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh, I remember, because that one took a while to
figure out.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yes, but luckily you know he used another bathroom
till they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
And then it's been fine oh my gosh Random.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I just love the ones having sexy time knowing they're
sloshing that water on yourkitchen.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
I wish you could have seen the owner's face, she was
like, oh my gosh, she was likeoh, I mean.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Oh, that's crazy.
That's some good stories, see.
I knew you were full of goodawkward moments, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:52):

I'll never forget this.
And she was like not far from.
(02:22):
She lives in Greenville.

And she's like oh, hell, yeah.
She said, one woman came in andI had to do.
(02:46):
She was so hairy I had to doher after hours and I had to put
her on all fours.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I thought that's what they did anyway.

ashley from the sassy barn on.

If he gets a cut, you're goingto see it for 10, 12 months, but
this fool wants to get afacelift at some point.
Oh, I'm going to, and you'regoing to be able to see the
whole line around your scalp,doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm good with it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You just I'm good with it.
I'm good with it.
I don't care when people arelike hell, yeah, I did Yep.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I don't care.
I mean, there's no shame ingetting a facelift.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I don't care, I would rather.
No.
It's not the only scar I have.
I've got a scar going acrossthe back of my head and it's
funny when I get my when theywhen he cuts my hair a little
too short sometimes and it'sfunny.
One time he cut it so short.
Dylan was like I can stand hereand I see your scar across the
(05:37):
back of your head from your hairtransplant.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
You know it is what it is.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah, I mean I would ratherhave a little scar around my
ears than, you know, my facehanging down about my belly
button.
Well, it's on its way.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I'm just kidding, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Do you have a target?
I mean because you'll be veryopen about getting a facelift or
whatever.
I mean and I would say aboutI'm not.
I don't think I will get afacelift.
I'm not saying I wouldn't, butI would be very open.
It's like I go get Botox.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I don't care.
Am I thinking a year?
Yeah, do you have 2027?
I think I'm going to do it, you?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
do January 27th You'll be mid-50s Be a good time
to get it done.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, no, no, Y'all are going to get to see the whole
thing, so you got to stickaround that long.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Y'all are going to get to see the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
This is like a two-year cliffhanger.
There's no need to try to hideit.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
That's what saying.
I would be very open if I hadsomething.
Now I will I do, or I will sayI'm not doing an upper, I do not
.
Really, a lot of my personalityis in my eyes.
I don't.
I'm fine with the littlewrinkles there, I'm fine with
that, and I kind of, when I hadmy hair transplant, kind of had
a brow lift, you know, becausethat tightens your whole head,
yeah, so I don't really needthat, so I'm just focusing more
(07:08):
on lower.
Okay, just pick, picking thisup and your chin, yeah, under
there, yeah, just tighten allthis up.
Yeah, just, I'm gonna have thedeep planing done, I'm gonna
have lipo and yeah well, itsounds like a good time I mean
I'm sure it's going to be ablast and I'm sure I hope
dylan's still around stickingaround
Speaker 1 (07:28):
oh yeah, he's not.
Oh my gosh, when he had hishair transplant done, he wasn't
dating anybody at the time Iasked him to bring me food.
Never did I hope we've toldthis story before, because I was
mad Are you going to hang on tothis story?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I was pissed.
We didn't have DoorDash in thatcountry.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't care, you're fine.
I'm not even rehashing it again.
You shouldn't have called me atan inconvenient time to ask for
food.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That's how he is y'all.
That is how he left me.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He should have prepared and had some food in
your damn house.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh, it was supposed to be a piece of cake.
It wasn't even supposed to bean issue.
It's easy.
It's easy.
You have just a few down daysand you're good Lies.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Daniel keeps saying he might get a hair transplant
one day.
I hope you don't mind me sayingthat.
Well, I already said it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, you might not want to wait too much longer,
because at some point you can't.
Oh, because you lose too muchdonor hair.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And I don't think he would care talking about that
either getting that done.
I mean, I don't think he hasanything, I don't think he's
bothered by talking about it.
He just said I think I'm goingto do that one day, so in case
we.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
If you're going to do it, do it mid-30s.
Yeah, Because the longer youwait, the less donor hair you
have and they can't do it Well.
So if I had my time to go over,I would have done even more, go
all out.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The only thing daniel's worried about is, you
know they don't put you to sleepor whatever, and he passes out
from getting shots.
Sometimes it was horrible.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
He will make it through that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I'm just telling you well, he can just, you'll just
pass out and you'll be fine, andthen you'll come to and pass
out.
I got sick twice.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It was horrible.
It was eight in my mind, butyou know technology has changed
a lot in 15 years.
My surgery was eight and a halfhours long and they made 4,000
hairs.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I don't think it's that intense anymore, I
think it's improved.
Since you've done that and somany people go to like Turkey to
get it done, I'll have to askour.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I'm not.
I would not go out of countryto have it done.
Because the reason you have tobe careful going out of the
country I know you can do things, they do it well, the results
look good and it's cheaper.
But you have to be very carefuldoing things out of the country
and I would never promote thatbecause when you come back to
(10:13):
the United States if you've hadsome kind of complications, no
doctor's going to touch you,You're screwed, it's a liability
issue and you could die andpeople do.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well, you've got infection set in.
You want to risk it or not?
Yeah, yeah, but see sometimesgoing out of that country, like
I feel like turkey and I'm notpromoting any of it, but that is
there.
They've put a lot into thatindustry so they're on the
forefront of doing it.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Listen, I know I know I have friends here in
Greenville.
The fools went and I will sayit, I don't care who, whatever
went to Mexico and had gastricbypass surgery.
Right, nothing against Mexicoor anywhere.
I'm not going and havingsomething like that done In a
(11:04):
foreign country where you can'tbe at home.
If it's France or Italy.
No, no, no, no, and that's asurgery where people have had
complications.
Then a doctor here won't touchyou because you know, Wow, I
mean I don't know, but a lot ofpeople are going to Turkey and I
(11:24):
have to say, they do good.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, they do good work.
So our brother-in-law, daniel'smiddle brother's husband, he
just got hair transplant done inbrazil.
I mean, he just had it donelike last week, so I guess I
don't know.
I had to talk to him and seehim soon.
So so I had to talk to him andask him about it and if you're
thinking about a hair transplantor whatever?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
research, research research.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
He got his done in Brazil, but that's where he's
from.
Yeah, so that makes sense.
Yeah, and he was able to staywith family and that sort of
thing.
So I can't wait to talk to himand see like how it was there.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And I really researched.
I learned way too much abouthair follicles that I ever
wanted to know.
But, um, and I don't want tobash any companies on here, but
I would just say, if you're everthinking about it and a lot of
a lot of women are doing itnowadays um, I highly recommend
(12:23):
it.
If, if your hair bothers, youhighly recommend doing it, and
technology is a lot better nowthan when I did mine.
Um, but just research.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Research, research, research, and look at the
lawsuits pending against variouscompanies.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, you, know it used to be one main company we
won't name, but they were kindof the ones that started, or
mass started it, and now theirway is so out.
Are they even around anymore?
I'm sure they are in some sense.
But so Stephen had his donelocally.
Back to let me clear my nameNow.
(13:03):
I think we've talked about thisbefore and it was supposed to be
easy breezy blah, blah, blah,blah, blah.
And he had it done and it endedup being on a weekend of us I
think it was our spring openhouse, or no, it would have been
Christmas open house, becausehe had it done right before
Christmas and it was very busyat the stores, christmas open
(13:23):
house.
And he calls me in the middleof it and was like hey, can you
bring me some food?
And I was like, yeah, but it'sgoing to be a while.
You know whatever it was.
And listen, it was probably twoo'clock when he called.
It was in the middle of the dayand we close at six, so it
wasn't like poor little thingover here was going to starve to
death.
I was starving.
(13:44):
Well, but anyway, yes, Icouldn't bring him the food, and
he's never let me live.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
So I chose to have a plastic surgeon do mine.
Yeah, but here's the thing aplastic surgeon do mine.
Yes, but here's the thingPlastic surgeon cut me and did
my stitching and all that.
But then she flew a hair techin from Beverly Hills and did my
hair transplant.
(14:09):
Oh so he was exceptional and Ireally didn't know all the
details of that until I gotthere.
And you know, you spend eightand a half hours with somebody.
You kind of learn all kinds ofstuff, but his head of hair was
unbelievable.
But now you know he also doesthat for a living.
But it was like just like fabioor something I was like that's
(14:34):
crazy yeah yeah it wasinteresting well, you know get a
little.
You know get a little nip, tuckand pull the most important
thing, I think, with a hairtransplant and, um, they did
great with mine is don't loweryour hairline so that it's
awkward yeah, you don't want itto look too.
(14:56):
Just fill it in.
It's not going to.
You're never going to look likeyou're 18 and you don't want to
.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, cause it looks weird.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
if you have a perfect , just fill it in a little, yeah
, color it in a little, yeah,little little filler.
It is traumatic because they dothe transplant and then it's
traumatic because they do thetransplant.
And then it starts growing andthen all of it falls out.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
And then over a year it comes back.
But now, when they did yours,they didn't shave your whole
head, did they?
I don't remember them doingthat.
I mean they shaved where theywere doing it, but not the whole
head.
Like I feel like now they shavethe whole head.
Oh really, and I'm going tohave have to ask did they do the
cut across the back?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
no, no, a lot of what they're doing now is they.
Are they, like I said,technology's so advanced.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They're just like taking out a follicle and then
putting it in so maybe that'swhy they shaved the whole head
yeah, so they can see.
So they're dispersing it.
They're not taking a a section,they're, yeah, doing it evenly
they took a half an inch.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's a ribbon out of my.
It is a lot.
That's why I'm saying I had my,my brow lift.
I could not been.
I could not look down like thisfor weeks it felt like it was
going to rip my head.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It was so tight from getting stretched.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
If I wanted to wipe my ass, I just had to look down
just a little bit and it wasright there.
I could just go.
You're saying, it pulled yourass up.
My asshole ended up right thereon my shoulder.
If I just looked down a little,it was like right here I could
just you are nuts yeah.
(16:44):
So I don't think they do thethe cutting, but honestly I
wouldn't change that necessarilybecause it it like I said.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It did give me a little bit of a brow lift yeah,
I was like kind of two for onelittle action and it wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It's not painful at all, it was just uncomfortable
yeah, and that's all yeah, it'snot painful at all, it was just.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
but you said afterwards too, you know, after
you were in the bed for a fewdays and then it was the holiday
season, so you were, you had togo out like shopping and stuff
and people you were like youwere bruised, I was bruised and
I and I kept it wrapped, causethat was the one thing.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, she was like you have open wounds at the cut
in my head.
You have to keep the medicineon it.
You have to keep it covered ifyou're out.
So I did look like I had hadbrain surgery, I'm sure, but
it's just these dumbasses.
You know, I would be, you know,at the mall or wherever,
(17:51):
christmas shopping, yeah, and Icouldn't wear a cap.
So I had to have my headbandaged and I just kind of just
fluffed my hair over it as much.
You can't, you could see.
And the medicine, I don't knowif it's still the same, but the
medicine then was like electricblue.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh Lord.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
So the electric blue was seeping through the bandages
.
I mean, I'm sure I look like adamn hot mess, but I didn't care
at that point.
And you know, go to pay whathappened to your head.
And I was with a friend of mine, josh, and I said you know the
next person that asked me whathappened to my head.
(18:34):
They're going to get one hellof a story.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
And he's like oh my God, because this is what
Stephen will do in real life.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You're going to ask me, in front of a million people
, what happened to your head.
So the next time I go to pay.
And then that person said whathappened to your head?
I mean, who asked that?
I said, oh my gosh, I wasdriving and my meth lab blew up
in the back of my Ford Explorerand they were like this is how
(19:04):
pitiful they were.
They were like, oh damn.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Oh, that's too funny.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
That's a true story, oh my gosh.
That's too funny.
That's a true story, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That is too funny.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
So yeah, when I have my facelift, I'm sure that those
when I go what happened to yourface?
We'll go.
Well, I was really ugly, so Ihad that shit cut off and this
one put on.
Let's hope it sticks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Let's hope it sticks the other day.
Uh, so well, we'll move on fromthat.
So you're gonna get a facetransplant eventually.
Transplant facelift a complete.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
We're gonna start calling it a transplant.
I'm going in for my facetransplant.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
A complete tear down and rebuild?
Yes, a transplant eventually,but we got a couple of years.
I can't wait to watch throughthat process.
But the other day you weretelling a funny story and I was
like you got to tell this on.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The podcast is about your a your neighbor's cat hell,
y'all lord oh my goodness sookay, y'all know I'm crazy and
ocd and just a lunatic ingeneral, and one one of my many
(20:36):
pet peeves is I cannot standdamn notes this is a thing for
both of us.
I can't stand notes and signs,taped and junked windows.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah and just like at our retail stores.
You know how you'll go into aretail store and there's that.
Do not do this and do that thanthis and you must do this like
signs everywhere.
That drives me crazy.
Like no food or drink allowed,yeah, like and they and what I
really love.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I mean that really just gets me going, I mean I
just love it.
Like if you go to a McDonald's,you know, and you're about to
pee your pants and you go toopen the door and it says we are
closed due to equipment issues.
Sorry for the incontinence.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Incontinence instead of inconvenience.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Handwritten.
You know, it looks like theyhad the paper turned cockeyed
and something is just going tobe spelled.
Completely wrong, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
But I hate going into a store and there's all these
signs.
It just drives me crazy.
And that's one thing we'vealways been like no, and you
know what it is is some retailowners, store owners, business
owners can be for anything.
They think every issue thatcomes up along the way and we've
had employees like this We'vehad to be like no, take it down,
(22:06):
take it down Is any issue thatcomes up, we're going to make a
sign for it, like it's going tostop it from occurring again.
And then you end up with like75.
We're addressing everything.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
It's like I bought one McDonald's and this is
seriously and this was my, thisis an all-time favorite.
So back in the day, inMcDonald's, like for special
sandwiches, cheeseburger, noonions, we used a sticker to
hold that on there.
And I bought this McDonald'sand they used the stickers
(22:44):
instead of tape for all theirnotes, so they just have those
stickers stuck around everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They were everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh my God, I mean stickers, like you couldn't even
see the cabinet doors becausethey had just kept putting them
up there yeah so my mother, herjob her job was.
She was like what do you wantme to do?
And I said I want you to go buya gallon of goo gone and clean
(23:12):
the stickers and take down everynote, every sign and get
stickers off of everything.
Yeah, I'd never seen anythinglike it.
Yeah, and she did.
It took days.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I'm sure it did, so that's where this story starts.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay, so back to the cat.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
So I go home, yeah, and I'm driving in the gate, in
my gate, to go to the cat.
So I go home, yeah, and I'mdriving in the gate, in my gate
to go in the back, you know,have to stop and swipe my card
and there's a sign hanging, andwe've already covered how much I
love that and it's laminated.
I mean it's done very well ifyou're going to do one.
(23:55):
It was done very well.
Somebody took a lot to do one.
It was done very well.
Somebody took a lot of time andspent a lot of money on these
sons and it was a lost cat fromthe neighborhood next door.
Not even ours.
Yeah, and I'm like, okay, andyou know, and I'm talking to
myself, I'm like okay, stephen,they've lost their cat.
(24:15):
Don't be an asshole.
Just, it's not hurting anythingout here on this, you know,
pole, yeah, so I left it.
Yeah, well, I don't know howthe heifer got onto our property
.
She obviously crawled a fencesomewhere.
They were on every entrancedoor into the building.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, and like have you seen this cat?
And it wasn't even someone fromyour building no, yeah, so
those got taken down.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I'm like, okay, this is ridiculous and this isn't
your property, like you have noway.
No, yeah.
And my God, this went on forlike five or six weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
And you said they just kept appearing everywhere.
Just sign after sign.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, dylan was like what is up with this?
I'm like I don't know, butsomebody needs to tell her the
cat is dead with this.
I'm like I don't know, butsomebody needs to tell her the
cat is dead, it's dead, it'sgone, it ain't coming back.
I mean, I was over the cat,yeah, okay.
(25:30):
So this goes on and on and on,and then finally, one of the
other board members is verballycommunicating with this lady and
the cat was home after like sixweeks.
Yeah, so this all happenedright after Christmas.
So this has been.
You know, this is all recent.
So they had family visiting forthe holiday at Christmas from
(25:54):
Lake Lanier.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Georgia In Georgia, so it would be a couple
Christmas from Lake Lanier,georgia In Georgia, so it would
be a couple hours from us.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
A couple hours Several peace stops, a gas stop,
probably a food stop, and youknow major interstate, yeah, you
know 80 mile an hour travel.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, I guess they were talking, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
The two family members the two family members.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They were catching up .
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
And the people on Lake Lanier said you know, we
had this little cat, take uphere, take up here.
We got a cat now, oh up here.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Take up here we got a cat now.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Oh, and sent the other person a picture.
You know how we all sendpictures, isn't fluffy?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
cute.
Look at Miss Puss.
It was their cat.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The cat had gotten in the engine of the car.
Yeah, Somehow crawled up fromthe tire into the engine of the
car.
Yeah, Somehow crawled up fromthe tire into the engine in a
safe spot and had I guess whereit was warm, and had ridden in
that car all the way to LakeLanier Isn't that crazy.
(27:10):
And then was crawled out andwas like hello.
Well, they didn't know thatthey were looking for their cat.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
But how did they not know?
Like that's Sharon, we'll callher.
I don't know her name, butthat's Aunt Sharon's cat.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
But I'm guessing the cat was outside and it climbed
in and they just left.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, didn't know, maybe they never saw Sharon's
cat or something, I don't know.
That's so, and now they've beenloving on this cat for six
weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
That's done and showed up at their house and
they got to give the cat back,and now they got to give the cat
back.
So now that's awkward.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
But the sign stopped, I guess.
Yeah, that's funny, that'sawkward.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
It was weird.
That's funny, that's awkward,it was weird.
The whole thing was weird.
And listen, I love dogs andcats and emus and goats and I
love them all, but at some point, when do you say, the cat's
gone right?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
well, look, she didn't give up hope and she's
got her cat back.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
She loved.
Let me tell you that cat isloved.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But so weird for it to be an outside cat.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I mean you would think with that much into it
that would have been an insidecat that never.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You would think that was the inside cat that escaped
somehow.
And now, you're.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Maybe that was the case, maybe it escaped during
the, I don't know.
But then you would think thefamily member would have been
like oh, is this the cat you'relooking for?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's what's so weird about it.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
But in all fairness, but if we drove from Atlanta and
a cat appeared, we wouldn'tthink that cat is really from
Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, Because that's so far-fetched?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I guess that's true too.
I mean, no one would think that.
Have you guys ever had anythinglike that happen?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, you know, and you hear stories where cats make
it back home or you weretalking a few episodes ago and
that was different but homingpigeons can fly.
But you know, you've heard likedogs get lost and then show up
years later and that sort ofthing.
Do you have a funny story likethat?
Text us or call us and leave usa voicemail on our hotline
864-982-5029.
(29:28):
But wouldn't it get?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
awkward, like if your dog or your cat had been
missing for like two and a halfyears and you'd kind of moved on
.
Yeah, you moved on, and gottena new dog or a cat and then your
old one shows up and you'relike Like we really don't have a
place for you anymore.
This is so awkward, I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
It's true.
Are you just so happy to see it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Or we were like yeah, we really were happy, you were
gone.
Yeah, like we kind of missedyou for a minute, but then it's
really like fluffy over here isway better.
You know, right?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I always wonder that too when I hear those stories.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You know we missed you, but now that we have Fluffy
, you know, and sometimes it'slike six years later, I mean six
years ago One lady I watchedsomething on TV, it was 11 years
and she got her cat back.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then you got to take care of it when it's old,
after being gone.
For If I get another, dog orcat.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I'm not doing that chip.
I mean, listen, if you're goneafter a certain amount of time,
you're gone.
Oh my God, You're not comingback.
This isn't no.
Those chips can be bad, that'strue.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That is true, caw, if you do move on and you don't
have the room for it, and thenit's like, oh, I don't really
want this one anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, we moved, we downsized, you know this is.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You have some funny things happen at the loft, which
just reminded me oh God, Isthis like let me see how many
torturous things we can talkabout.
Two episodes in a row.
We're going to do awkward,Steven, things you have I guess
mine are just so much moreboring than yours.
Or, like I said, you have topull it out in the other person,
(31:24):
so I don't think you're good atlike I don't know having good
things and we're out here on thefarm so it's not as much
awkward.
But you know how, Stephen, thisis a good story.
Have we ever told this story?
I don't know.
Hold on, you know how Stephenis in very particular and very
surprising for me that he hasmade it in this community living
situation, loft living, youknow where you've got neighbors
(31:46):
on top of you.
You know, because he'sparticular, Like you said,
hanging the sign, you know.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
But we really don't hear.
It's so quiet.
We really don't hear anyonebeing on, like the back corner
of the building.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I know, but you still have to deal with like a board
and you have to deal with peoplecomplaining and putting up
signs and that sort of thingPain in the ass, people Ugly
wreaths on their door that youhave to walk by.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There's some ugly shit y'all on these doors Y'all
I need.
I really need to.
I need to do a whole Instagramthing on that, but you know,
some of them follow us.
It's going to get on court butthey need to get.
I even thought about leavingthem like a note and a gift card
like $25 off or any wreathtoward a wreath because you need
(32:33):
one bad Bad off, or any wreathtoward a wreath because you need
one bad.
I mean, there's one door y'alland it has.
I need to start taking.
I'm going to start postingthese.
It is a cotton, real cottonwreath, you know, and I used to
love those.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, oh, cotton had its moment.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I loved it.
This one is literally probablyabout 10 to 12 years old.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh, so it's getting ratty, it looks like you have,
like, made it oval.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
You've pushed it back , we made it square.
We mean it is just it, don'tknow which way, and it's just
kind of given.
You know it is just it don'tknow which way, and it's just
kind of given.
You know, it's just flop, theyput, they use, they decorate
this damn thing for everyholiday.
(33:28):
So Christmas we get a Christmasbow, and it's one of those bows
that they've had in a box intheir dresser that's been mashed
up and then fluffed out.
And listen, I'm making fun ofthem.
They're not poor, very far fromit.
Okay, let's just go ahead andput it out there.
Ain't nobody that lives in thatbuilding that cannot afford.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
A $100 re, exactly so you deserve to get made fun of.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Exactly yeah, they can, so they, you deserve to get
made fun of, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
Cause I know, I know what you paid.
We're not working on limitedresources.
No we're not.
We're not.
It's limited resources, but itain't money.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Let's go ahead.
It's limited resources and soyou had to bring that up.
That brings out the rage in mewhen we talk about the reason.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
This hasn't even gotten to the story I want to
bring up, but we'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Oh, it just makes me mad sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
I think you should go through and take them and say
leave a note and say I'm helpingyou out.
As you know, communitybeautification I have removed
your door decor because it didnot meet the standards.
However, here is a and givethem like a $50 gift card to the
nested pig.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
It would be so worth it, you know, and it would help
everybody out and you wouldn'tget not.
At least I know what they went,and it would help everybody out
and you wouldn't get not.
At least I know what they wentand picked would be great.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We could even do it online and do a collection of
ones that you approve and putthat link on there with the QR
code, so when they scan it, theycould be shipped right to their
door and it brings up thatcollection, the approved
mealsals Meal collection youknow, I think it probably needs
(35:18):
to be a thing.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, it probably does.
And Dylan, we were walking inlast night and it was funny, you
bring this up.
Dylan was looking at one andthey just leave this son of a
bitch up here year round and itis.
I don't even know what it isit's like.
It's like a fake lemon leaf.
(35:41):
It has got one red flower on it.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Just right there.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
And it's on a white command hook and you see, it's
like hello.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
That's even worse when it's on the command hook.
Fyi, you shouldn't be able tosee the command hook.
If you're hanging anything onthe command hook, you don't want
to see the command hook.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
You just got my blood pressure up, Well good.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
So let's keep going, see how, see, okay, right there
you can hear the tone in hisvoice.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Well, but I had these issues in my old neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
You can see.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But in my old neighborhood I addressed it a
lot more than I do here Becauseit's a little.
When you're connected, it's alittle.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
A little more awkward if you were to call someone out
here, versus With my neighborsin my old neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I would just like you know.
When I was getting in my car Iwas like you need to get rid of
that wreath, yeah you would.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
You need to take that old thing down.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
It's looking, it looks bad, and they would, or,
or what we had this.
I forgot about this.
Do you remember when I wouldtell people, mm-mm, that door,
that paint on that door is wrongand I would leave the paint
samples?
Ha ha ha.
I can't believe I did that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You would do it again .
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, thank God we don't have paint.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh my gosh, if y'all had doors that were painted.
So anyway, you can see or hearby the tone of this voice what
I'm talking about, that I'msurprised he's lasted this long
living in such tight quarters,although you said like you don't
see them.
But you have to deal withthings like that, the cat sign
appearing and you know, justsimple frustrations.
(37:30):
But the biggest thing is likewhen someone has a leak above
your loft and it drips down intoyour kitchen?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yes, because my floor plan is not like anyone in the
building, which means I had tostudy the floor plans above me
to know where everything is.
Yeah, so I know where.
Every now I know where.
So so I came home years ago.
(38:04):
Oh, it's been six he was cominghome seven years ago and there
would be water on your soapywater kitchen counter on my
island, mm hmm, soapy water isimportant.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, not water Soapy water would be on your kitchen
island.
This went on for a little whileand he was pissed, because it
was he found the unit.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
It was a doctor.
A doctor owns the unit above me.
They no longer live there, theyrent it.
And I called them and said Ihave this issue.
Yeah, you need to come overhere.
We got and they did.
They did and they jackhammered,they tore the whole bathroom
(38:56):
out Because it went on for awhile.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Yeah, it was like oh, let's try to unstop it.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
So they just said you know, we're just tearing out
the whole bathroom.
I mean, they jackhammered thefloor, they gutted the bathroom,
put a whole new bathroom in.
I was like, okay, this is good.
Then, like six months later,poof back.
I was like what in the hell?
(39:24):
And I called them and they'relike it's not possible.
And I'm like it's possible it'sright here on my I've got the
the photos, you know, and theywere like, so they brought their
contractor over the peopleupstairs.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
That were renting that were renting.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Y'all wait wait for it.
They, the contractor, came backand told me so the doctor that
owns the unit is they're fromIndia, so the you know there's a
language barrier that owns theunit is they're from India, so
the you know, there's a languagebarrier.
And so the contractor came andwas telling me and she was with
(40:11):
him they had taken caulk andstocked up the overflow valve
the renters.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
The renters had Because they liked hanky-panky
in the bathtub and they wereflooding, flooding it over and
flooding my kitchen so they hadto be clear the renters, even
after they had put in a brandnew whole bathroom.
(40:34):
Which means they didn't evenneed that bathroom.
Yeah, they had taken and filledup so that the overflow didn't
work and so that they could getit on in the bathtub.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
They wanted the water level higher.
Yeah, it was too chilly.
You can't make this shit up.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Is that what they told them?
That's what they told the?
And so they were wanting thewater level higher.
But then, during hanky pankytime, the water was overflowing
because the drain was stoppedComing in my kitchen, dripping
down on your kitchen counter.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
That is gross on so many levels.
But the story gets better.
I don't even know if youremember this.
So then, like five years Idon't know if it was five years
ago we were on vacation.
The four of us were on vacationsomewhere Maybe it's in hawaii
and um, we come home and there'ssoap suds in the kitchen floor
(41:42):
different and I'm like where,what in the hell?
Yeah, so I go up to the condoabove me and I'm like that's,
this is a whole new renter.
I check, I personally checkthere's no leaks, like what is
this.
So I'm like well, let me go tothe fourth floor.
(42:02):
So I went up to the next floor,didn't know, the guy was like
and young professional guy, andI was like, um, because it
happened, like the night ithappened again.
Yeah, I went upstairs and I waslike hey, um, you know I'm
Steven, um, you know I live blah, blah, blah and I was like, I
(42:24):
know this is a weird question,but did you just take a bath?
And he was like yeah, I did.
I was like a bath, not a showera bath.
He was like uh, yeah, I did, Iwas like a bath, not a shower a
bath.
He was like a bath and I waslike well, we have a problem
because you seem really nice,but I don't care to take a bath
with you.
And right now we're bathingtogether.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
How did that end?
What was the problem there?
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Well, the overflow in that unit was never connected.
So he would get in the masterbath and take a bath and the
water would come over and it wasgoing into the overflow valve,
but it wasn't connected toanything.
So it was just running throughthe building and it made its way
(43:15):
into my kitchen.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh, I remember, because that one took a while to
figure out.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Yes, but luckily you know he used another bathroom
till they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
And then it's been fine oh my gosh Random.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I just love the ones having sexy time knowing they're
sloshing that water on yourkitchen.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
I wish you could have seen the owner's face, she was
like, oh my gosh, she was likeoh, I mean.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Oh, that's crazy.
That's some good stories, see.
