Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh-oh, we're back.
How's it going?
We're at a warehouse.
We're at the warehouse today.
If you're watching this, it'stime for another episode of
who's Driving.
Welcome to who's Driving.
I'm Wesley Turner.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And I'm Stephen Merck .
We're two best friends andentrepreneurs.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the
behind the scenes of our lives,friendship and business.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
These are the stories we share and topics we discuss,
as two best friends would on along road trip.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Along the way, we'll check in with friends and offer
a wide range of informativetopics centered around running
small businesses, social mediaand all things home and garden.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You never know who's driving or where we're headed.
All we know is it's always afun ride.
So you know what.
It is summertime and it hasheated up.
It is hot it is hot as helltoday, so I keep saying it feels
extra hot because we haven'tbeen preheated this year, like
(01:00):
we went from a very mild springoverall to a hot, hot, hot
summer.
So if you're listening, we aremakeshift doing this episode
from our warehouse.
This is the moment Stephen andI could, you know, squeeze in
(01:20):
and record, so if the audio'snot exactly perfect this week,
it'll be better.
Also, we're about to take alittle summer hiatus for a
couple of weeks.
We'll talk about that as well.
But we just got back from theDallas market.
It was lots of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And Dylan and I are leaving in the morning.
Tuesday.
When this comes out We'll be inAtlanta back at market.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's Monday at like five o'clock we're recording
yeah, this is due in a few hours, you know last minute on our
homework here.
But it's just the way it works,because we just got back from
Dallas.
We had a lot of fun, so we wentto Dallas market.
We love Dallas market.
I think we've talked about that.
It's just.
It's a more laid back feeling.
If you're a small business andyou go to the Atlanta market and
(02:03):
you've never gone to the Dallasmarket, I would recommend it if
you can probably do both.
Atlanta's the bigger market,has more vendors, has more
vendors.
So if you can only pick one andyou're looking for the best
variety, then I would do Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
If you're clothing boutique, gift and clothing
boutique, I honestly think itdoesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, yeah, if you're clothing, then Dallas would be
great, but on the way out there.
So I set up our flights and wenever really fly Southwest.
I kind of told this in a storyon Instagram.
We never really fly Southwestjust because it's never really
convenient.
I don't know why it used to beconvenient back in the day, but
(02:44):
for us, coming from Greenville,greenville, the times never
match up.
But for one odd reason, thistime, headed to Dallas, we were
on Southwest and then headedback, we were on American.
So, with us not flying thatvery often, it was a little
different.
But I did do the little upgradewhere we were like fourth and
you don't have an assigned seatif you've never flown Southwest
(03:07):
and we were fourth and fifth inline, so we had the pick, but we
had a layover in Nashville andSouthwest will do it different.
I think they're the only onesthat still do it this way.
I mean maybe some of the otherlike affordable or supposed to
be, you know value lines to itthis way, I don't know.
But our flight landed inNashville, but we had.
(03:31):
So we had a layover technically, but we did not get off the
plane.
We were just picking up morepeople, but some people got off
because Nashville was their stopand then some of us were
continuing on to Dallas and wewere just told to stay on the
plane and Stephen was like Iwould have never known that if
you hadn't told me it wasn't onthe ticket and it's not very
clear.
I just happened to be readingour itinerary and I was like, oh
(03:53):
, we don't have to change planes.
It just says, like I don't evenknow what it said, I haven't
done that in like years andyears and years, Like 25 years.
I feel like that used to be anolder model where you would do
that.
So, anyway, we did that.
We held our spot, blah blah,blah, blah blah.
Well, everyone goes to get onand it's a full flight going to
(04:14):
Dallas.
We had one extra person on theflight, one dumbass, so we had
someone standing but in allfairness.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I can see how I mean, of course I called her a
dumbass.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You would have been the dumbass.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You would have been the dumbass Because you could
not tell the way.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah it was very Now hers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You should have seen.
Hers should have been a littlemore obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, what ended up happening?
After delaying us for over anhour and trying to figure out
who was the wrong person?
This is why they should havesigned seats and they wouldn't
have had this problem, whatever.
So there was a lady on ourflight who was going to Dallas.
So this is where it got tricky.
She was going to Dallas, butshe was not going to Dallas on
(05:01):
the flight that we were going toDallas on, so she actually had
a layover, like she should havedeboarded, gone to a different
plane, got on, whatever.
So that ended up being theproblem, cause I was sitting
there going.
How is there one extra person?
Well, they were going.
How was there one extra persontoo?
Cause they were like we havethis list and this list and they
match and they're supposed tobe this number.
(05:22):
There should be one extra seatand we got this person standing
up.
It was a whole shit show.
So that's how we would run anairline.
Like just we don't need a sign.
We got to go, Just stand up.
So, anyway, we got to Dallas.
It was a lot of fun.
We found lots of great thingsthere, but we really booked
Dallas as our last minute fillin because we wanted to knock
out some orders before we wentto Atlanta, because we continue
(05:45):
to run out of time when we're atthe markets and we wanted to do
live sales for those really funfill-in items.
So it was a great y'all.
If you were watching the livesales, they ate it up.
I mean we are sellingeverything.
now we are we are from homedecor to hearts, bras and
panties are next.
That's the one thing we haven'ttackled right.
(06:06):
We have home decor and thenthese lot sales.
Everyone's been loving thejewelry and purses and bags and
we even did body care, which wasgreat and that led into makeup
that this line had and y'allwere eating it up.
So we'll keep doing it.
It's fun for us to get to do avariety.
That's why we like going tomarkets and doing live sales.
(06:27):
We get to do things that wedon't stop, Because what we try
to stock in the warehouse we tryto keep in line with our retail
stores, so we all kind of havesimilar inventory and can pull
from the warehouse when we needto restock the retail stores.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But it's fun to go do different things, so I have
something funny to talk about.
Okay, you tell us.
So, evidently, I think this isall over the country.
I tried to look it up but itwas being difficult.
But there's a group, facebookgroup, here in Greenville,
uh-huh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And it's called Fickle.
I've heard of Fickle, it'swhere.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But you have to be accepted or something you have
to be accepted.
It's a Greenville Fickle group.
Okay, it's all women.
So do they have?
They sell their shoes, clothes,belts, accessories, whatever on
there?
Okay, it's bougie women, forthe most part, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's bougie women for the most part.
Okay, and are they, is it?
Well, you're not a member ofthis, You've infiltrated it.
You have a mole in this group.
I have a mole, Okay, so arethey only selling like designer
things, or can?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
they sell whatever.
They can sell whatever, butit's mostly because it's bougie.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's mostly designer.
You would be a member of thisgroup if you were a woman in
Greenville.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely, and I would be the mole, but I'm just
glad that I have a mole and I amprivy to these messages y'all.
You know, as a man, men are notcatty typically.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, women are catty with each other.
There's nothing worse than to.
I mean we have catty.
It's crazy Okay we can talkabout this because we employ
like 90% women and we have beenin business since I've been in.
Well, you've been in businesslonger than me because you're
older than me.
You're in your 50s now.
You're early mid-50s, this istrue, but 2009 is when I opened
(08:28):
the garden shop.
Women women are catty with eachother.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, not with us.
They like us?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, they love us.
Do you know that?
I know this is off track but, Iremember being on vacation and I
had two women at the gardenshop and one of them.
They didn't like each other andthey worked in the same
department.
One of them went and changedwhile I was out of town, went
and changed the other person'sschedule, marked them, said they
were off a day because theywanted to and put themselves on
(08:57):
there.
Then they're calling andfighting.
They just there's some women'sstory.
So these, these women host, Imean y'all are amazing women,
yeah, but y'all a little catty,and that y'all are catty with
each other, yeah, and it's funto watch.
So, speaking of having a lot ofwomen employees, we always
(09:17):
probably shouldn't talk aboutthis, because we have employees,
but if you're listening you'llknow we have our employees at
each store and we call it ouremployee ecosystem.
And if you throw one differentlittle kink in there, or if one
person comes in, that's new andthey're not sure about on the
outside.
For us it is so funny to watchthe dynamic and like there's
(09:40):
true, like with chickens peckingorders, they'll team up on one
and just peck on them.
Peck and complain, peck andcomplain.
If that person leaves one ofthem that they're already
friends with, they turn on thatperson then.
So then they start pecking onthem anyway.
Well, this is with fickle.
Okay.
(10:01):
So fickle, back to fickle.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It is the same thing, so it is so funny to me.
I have never had a look into anall-women's group until now.
Okay, so my mole has let me inon this group Such passive
aggression they have.
(10:24):
Here's the highlights Okay.
These women on here and I'm notgoing to call out specific
names what if they're listening?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
What if they're listening?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You made me laugh, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, we're using this for comedy purposes only.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They boast about their size, Like if they're
double zero or a two.
Yeah, I'm just.
You know, I am so tiny, oh.
And then the other thing is myboobs are just so big.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, wouldn't fit or something Wouldn't fit.
Do you have some of these folks?
Is that what you, I do?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Okay, let's hear it, let's read us some.
Here's one Worn, twice size,small, amazing dress.
I wore this when I was ninemonths pregnant and tried to
once after, but it is too big onme.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No shit.
Wait, you thought it was stillgoing to fit after being nine
months pregnant, but she's small.
Yeah, she's small, oh my gosh.
Okay.
Okay, here's a thing I like.
This.
We're going to do it.
This is going to be my newstagnant Weekly readings from
Thickle.
Okay, here's a bell.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a great bell.
I have this bell in the men'ssystem.
Of course you do, bougie, USsize 6.
And then in the comments sheput I'm not going to lie, this
bell is making me regret meetingmy goal weight.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It is so cute is what she says.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So you know it's this way.
I'm smaller than you, but youcan buy my belt, big girl yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
How crazy.
Who says not going to say youdon't?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
need to say any of that we get it.
It doesn't fit you, or maybeyou just don't like it.
Maybe it didn't look good onyou, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Okay, I wonder, if they do this like okay, I'm
going to read into thepsychology behind this Did she
really just need the money forthe belt and trying to make
herself feel better?
Like you know some of them,it's like do you know what I'm
saying?
You know some.
I don't want you to know reallywhy I'm getting rid of the belt
(12:47):
.
Really I need the money.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, I need the money because I got that credit
card bill coming in where Ibought that new handbag.
Yeah, okay, you got more.
Hey, here's another dress, size00.
Runs very roomy, runs veryroomy.
I think it runs like a two, azero two.
I'm a two in the top half.
This means I'm tiny but I havebig boobs.
(13:11):
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious.
Okay, here's the next oneAmazing dress.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh, no, I already did that.
Oh, that was the nine monthpregnant dress.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Here's another one.
Super cute dress, size small,bought on here.
Wore it once.
It's just too tight in thechest.
I thought men were the onlyones that wanted to talk about
how large their endowments are.
I'm seeing this whole new styleof women.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You it bitty titty.
People can have my dress.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, it's what she said you itty bitty, titty women
with fat asses can have thisbecause my chest is too big.
Here's another one.
Went to wear this for the firsttime and I cannot get it to
snap at the boob and stay cool.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I love your reading your voice for them too.
She's just too big.
Her boobs are too big.
I'm just too big.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That is hilarious.
So I'm going to sell my pants.
I have these button fly jeansbut I can't get them to close.
They're just too big.
They just won't button in theircrotch.
They won't button in theircrotch, Runs large.
So my mole in the group sendsme these.
(14:37):
And it started out just betweenus and I said you know, this
really needs to be on thepodcast.
And she totally agreed.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So if y'all have fickle where you are, let us
know, and if you have funnylistings, send us the screenshot
.
Is it the same, are they?
Just so big in the chestAggressive and send us the
screenshots of any funnylistings.
That's what we need.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I wish these were not Greenville people so we could
talk about them.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You can't post it to the community.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And you know what?
What If that's what they likedoing you do you boo it's just
funny.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
How does that make you feel better?
But you know it does.
It's just funny.
How does that make you feelbetter, but you know it does.
It's funny Because why can'tyou just list it Cute dress,
certain, certain brand size runstrue to size X amount of
dollars, exactly.
Why do you got to say greatcondition?
Why do you got to put thepersonal touch?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It makes them feel better.
But see the coming from a veryintelligent, confident person,
empowered woman, which my friendis.
It just is hilarious to her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, she reads through the listings too and is
laughing.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, she's just like .
She's just, you know, veryconfident.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Well, don't tell they'll be kicking people out
when the word gets out.
They'll be trying to find outwho the mole is.
They'll never know who the moleis.
That's funny.
You would never guess that is.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That is funny.
This kind of ties in, but youknow, we were just talking about
this the other day and whatwere we talking about?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't even want to know.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Like these, these fake people that that act like
they're friends with people andit is so bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, it goes back to the employees.
Like I was just saying, they'llpeck on one.
This group is friends here,these, however many people, and
they'll pick one to peck on.
And when that weak person isgone from the group, then the
people that they were all tightwith gets remixed and they start
pecking on one of them, right,and then they think they're all
(17:00):
best friends.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, and I want to say to you know, you see it in
groups of people.
Yeah, and listen, I'm going totell you one thing I can say
about me.
I am real.
Yeah, the bitch is what you get.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
If you are in my circle, you know I've got you,
yeah, and if you don't, youdon't.
But I'm not going to say it isnot in me.
And it just amazes me and I seethese people chasing after
these other people that don'teven like them.
They don't like them and I'mlike I want to say they talk
(17:39):
about you, yeah, you thinkthat's your friend that you're
chasing after.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, I'm going to say this and I know you don't
want me to, but I'm going to sayit.
We have had employees.
I ain't going to say this and Iknow you don't want me to, but
I'm going to say it.
We have had employees.
I ain't going to get into anynames, because we own.
We have three locations, soit's a mix, and I know some of
our employees listen, and youprobably do it, so look at
yourself in the mirror.
We have had employees that talkabout another employee.
They don't like them, they wantthem fired.
(18:08):
They don't do this, they don'tdo that, they can't stand them.
They need to go.
They're not good at this.
Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And then they leave.
Like that person leaves andthey're besties, and then
they're besties.
Well, this person that wasgetting talked about and picked
on by this person is now bestieswith that person and we're like
.
They don't even like you we hadto listen for two years about
how they didn't like you, won'twork with you, don't put me on
the shift with that person, it'strue.
(18:39):
And then they're friends.
We don't do that, but that goesback to being the caddy and the
whole.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But it's amazing, you can sit back and watch.
It just gives me great insighton the way people are.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
See, that's why I only have a handful of friends,
because I'm not playing thecaddy game Like you.
When you pissed me off, I callyou and tell you I'm like you
really pissed me off about this,and that's never happened
actually.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, not really.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But I would, you would, you would, you would go,
that's right.
Well, I've said no.
You really made me mad aboutthis, or you?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
hurt my feelings about this or you're wrong about
it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I've told you stuff like that yeah, but nothing
major yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It wasn't a.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
No, not like that, but I'm just saying it starts
with the little stuff.
It and I just wouldn't I'm notgoing to go down that it is
hilarious to watch because we'veseen it so many times Over the
years, over the years with them,even in.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
McDonald's.
Let me tell you, it's the samething.
I've had people oh, I hate thisperson.
I don't want that person in mystore.
I don't want them working forme.
They're awful.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They do that, so do you think it comes down to a
jealousy thing in the momentwhen they're talking about that
person and they see they're goneFor some?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
it is jealousy, yeah, for some it's jealousy, for
some it's just they don't likethem, but why do they end up
being friends or thinkingthey're friends?
I can't get that far up my ass,but I'm not.
It's just bizarre to me,because that's one thing.
(20:19):
I am so and that's.
I wish I had a little bit ofthe bullshitting in me, but it's
not.
I didn't get the chain.
No, you're a.
I struggled, even in McDonald's.
That was my struggle.
Like I could not have climbedthe corporate ladder, like I
couldn't have gone that route Incorporate, corporate, in the
(20:41):
corporate world, because I just,you know, one time the vice
president was visiting me at oneof my restaurants.
Yeah, and this was right afterwe started.
I say we McDonald's started the1-800 number and then mystery
shop program and my field repwas there.
(21:02):
But then the vice president wasthere.
Well, he made the mistake ofasking me Stephen, I would like
your opinion on the 1-800 numberand the Mystery Shop program.
Now, mind you, my numbers weregood on both.
I had no issue personal.
(21:23):
But he asked my opinion.
Don't ask if you don't want toknow, Don't ask if you don't
want me to tell.
So I said, see, I see value inthe Mystery Shop program as long
as everyone takes it for whatit is.
But the 1-800 number, that isabsolute bullshit.
That is a waste of time andmoney for everybody, because
(21:46):
that is the most ridiculousstuff I've ever heard in my life
and it is a waste ofeverybody's time.
He was like, okay, well, thankyou for your feedback, because
they had to have peopleanswering that.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, because they just sent it to the store level.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It came to the owner.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So I'm like okay, well, I've got to go to the bank
, so I'm leaving and I get in mycar and I leave and my field
rep calls me and says what inthe hell were you thinking?
Talking to the vice presidentof the company, like that.
I said what are you talkingabout?
And he said you just stoodright there in his face and told
(22:29):
him that you thought the 800number was bullshit.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And it is.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That was fine.
And I said he was all bentabout it and I said, listen, I
will tell you, I will tell him,I will tell everybody.
Do not ask my opinion if you donot want a candid answer,
because I'm going to give it toyou.
And I hung up and it was nevermentioned since.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I was like well, he asked you.
It wasn't like you.
I mean, why ask if you don'twant to know Exactly?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And I wanted to get it across how strongly I felt.
That's why I said it wasbullshit.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
A couple of weeks ago we went to I forgot to mention
this for you we went to theFlorida house.
You know our Florida house andI think someone just canceled a
week.
If you need a place to go inJuly I got to double check that
it might have rebooked, I don'tknow.
Anyway, daniel and I was withmy family down at the Florida
house in Miramar Beach, florida,with my niece there.
(23:29):
She's so cute, she is, is socute.
So my mom had told her on theway down there we were all on
the phone like an ice creamtruck comes by, which it does
the never budding thing, andthose come by with ice cream on
the beach.
So she's, you know that's funfor a six year old.
So we did so.
The ice cream truck came bybefore Daniel and I got there,
(23:52):
or cause they were there a fewdays earlier, so they got that
from them.
So we were on the beach.
And they come by with ice cream, so they come by pulling.
It's just like a wagon with abig cooler on it.
They'll have like their icecream on there.
So we were getting ready toleave the beach and here comes
the guy pulling that.
So my mom's mom's, like youknow, do you want some ice cream
(24:12):
or whatever?
My niece, of course, was likeyes, and my mom's like, well,
get me an ice cream sandwich.
And she got a cone like dum-dumis that what you call them?
Whatever those cones are thatwe've had forever, with the
little nuts on top know how much, and these were like not
anything.
It's like what you would go tosam's and buy in a box.
They were $10 a piece, do youknow?
(24:33):
how much those two cost total.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Captive audience baby $25.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I told Daniel I was like your ass is going to be
down here pulling a coolerbefore you know it.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
A lot of money Captive audience.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But okay, then what we realize.
Also, I don't know that it'stotally legal that they're
selling on the beach like this,because two days later another
guy came by and he had like abanner on his he had like two
pool noodles and a banner withice cream, but it was the same
setup, same cart, big cooler.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Well, I actually funny you bring this up.
I have investigated this.
Okay, Ironically, you have toget a business license to do
that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well see, in Florida, the only thing I don't know
maybe is where our beach is.
It's private beaches Like SouthCarolina.
You don't have private beaches.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, they may have stumbled in on our work.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You have private beaches and there's public on
each side.
I don't know how it works.
Well, like the next day afterthe ice cream incident, this
other guy comes by and we'relike oh hell, no, we're not
getting ice cream today.
We ain't got no $25.
You ain't getting it today.
No $25 for you today.
You ain't getting it today.
So we're watching and I go upthere to see if he's charging
(25:55):
the same amount, because I waslike how's this work?
You know the entrepreneur in me, I was like I gotta investigate
this.
His were.
I think they were like a dollarcheaper, but it was still, you
know whatever.
So we're standing there and I'mwatching and all these people
come up, probably like 10 people.
So think how much money he'smaking right then, well, all of
a sudden, in the middle of it,he pulls his pool noodles off
(26:19):
and he rolls up his banner andhe puts it under someone's chair
.
Then he takes the cooler andsets it beside a chair, just
like an empty chair, and then heruns off and then, like a
minute later, the beach patrolpolice come by or whatever, and
then, when they're gone, he cameback, set it all back up.
(26:41):
So I guess, he had an informantsaying you know, the patrol's
coming, and so I was like sneaky, sneaky here, but the people
just stood there.
He came back, he took theirmoney and they got their ice
cream and he left.
They didn't care.
They didn't care.
I wouldn't have cared either,but it was funny to watch.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I was making that money off that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I know I'm like he just made, because that ice
cream, you know, is literally acouple of dollars of that.
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Maybe a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Nowadays it might be a little more.
It was just your basic icecream sandwich, the Dum Dum
thing or whatever it's calledSnickers ice cream bar.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
You know the typical, I mean with $25, you could have
gotten like at least threeboxes of those.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
But you know, when you got a six-year-old one ice
cream, it don't really matter.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah.
Well, the thing is she's reallygood and if we'd have been like
, ah, never mind, she would havebeen okay with it, she totally
would.
But she had already opened herswhile we were getting my mom's
and was eating it Like, did theasshole?
So the guy and this, the guy webought from was like a younger
(27:59):
guy.
My mom handed me some cash,like ten dollars, you know,
which wasn't enough, and so Iwas like, oh, do you take venmo?
Because we'd walked, you know,just a distance from the.
He's like oh yeah, and so hepulled up his venmo and then I'm
like scanning it to pay him andhe's like tips are appreciated.
Thought like like hell you'regetting a tip.
(28:20):
That was funny.
I was like not when you'recharging $25 for it Crazy, I
know so I might be hustling.
If you see me on the beach inAugust when we're down there
we're down there for, like youknow, two weeks I might be
hustling.
I need to take a cooler and acart and put my sign up.
Dylan's dad has one.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I can have Daniel pull it up and down.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, it was crazy.
So we need to talk aboutSouthernisms.
I got you on a food one and youknow he had to learn.
People do eat cantaloupe andgravy.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yes, somebody messaged and said they eat
cantaloupe and gravy Milk gravy.
That is nasty, nasty, nasty.
What is wrong with you?
It's good, it's damn good, no.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
So here is another thing we did and this may not be
a Southern thing, but I thinkit is.
Yeah.
So in the summer my grandfathergrew I don't know how many
acres of watermelons.
I love watermelons, that wasour thing.
We would get one and put it inthe old refrigerator on the back
(29:35):
porch to get it chilled, andthen we would put newspaper down
.
We had a specific table outsideFor watermelon.
We put newspaper down andthat's where we put our
watermelon out, so it wouldn'tmake a mess, and we put salt on
it.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I love salt on my watermelon.
I don't do it because I'm likeI don't need to do that, but it
is good.
It is good.
Yeah, Do you do salt on?
I've only done it on watermelon, watermelon's the only thing.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
you do that on.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I saw a girl on TikTok last night.
She was doing a watermelon.
She called it a flight.
So she had like sticks ofwatermelon and was putting
different things that people hadtold her that they eat
watermelon with Speaking of this, and, of course, salt, I feel
like a lot of people do salt, orthat's a known thing.
One of them was mustard.
She said that one was actuallygood.
(30:27):
I had seen this one but hadn'ttried it yet.
Cinnamon, because it brings outsome kind of flavor they say.
I can see that I can't rememberthe other ones.
One was like feta cheese, whichI don't.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That is good, feta cheese is something Feta cheese
and balsamic vinegar.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That's.
I think that's what it was.
Yeah, delicious, I can'tremember.
There were like two or threeothers.
The mustard I don't quite get.
Yeah, the mustard was the most,and I love mustard and I love
watermelon, but I don't so, andI love watermelon, but I don't
so.
Do you eat salt or anythingfunky on your melons?
Let us know.
You can let us know in ourhotline, which will be in the
comments below, but we can'tremember the number.
(31:04):
We're not recording at home,we're at the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh yeah, we don't have the number.
I have no idea what the numberis.
If you held a gun to my headI'd be like 864.
Something the other saying isand my dad says this all of, and
I say it too, but my dad saysit all the time Fair to Midland.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Fair to Midland.
What is that how you doing?
I'm fair to.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Midland.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Never heard that.
What is Midland?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I don't know what Midland is, but that's what we
would say Fair to Midland.
I had forgotten about it, butthen I saw it on a window.
Fair to Midland, fair toMidland.
I can't make that one.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Let me see where it comes from Fair to Midland.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean fair, I mean it means so-so You're doing okay
, yeah, like I'm doing fine.
Where?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
does the?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But fair.
I understand I'm doing fair,but Midland to Midland.
Fair to Midland come from Fairto Midland.
It originates from the gradingof agricultural goods,
particularly cotton, in the 19thcentury, and it signified an
average acceptable quality,neither excellent nor poor.
Acceptable quality neitherexcellent nor poor.
(32:23):
The phrase evolved into commonusage to describe anything of
moderate quality or a state ofbeing okay.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So, just like it was a cotton grading, midland,
midland was the cotton grading.
Well, listen, we love toeducate around.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And that makes sense that my dad would say that
because his parents in the earlydays were cotton farmers.
Yeah, who knew.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Now we do this kind of goes along with your.
Well, maybe not.
This is just a general thing,but we're going to move on into
it unless you have somethingelse about Southern over there.
Okay.
So I saw a debate on TikTokagain and the debate was, for
example, it was about cakes andthe debate was let's say, you
(33:04):
have a vanilla cake and it'siced with chocolate icing.
Do you call that a chocolatecake or a vanilla?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
cake.
That's a vanilla cake withchocolate frosting?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yeah, but like what kind of cake are we having?
Don't say what you would callit.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I mean, I guess you would call it a chocolate cake,
but it's really not a chocolatecake.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, see, I would call it vanilla cake.
That was the debate.
Like which one do you go?
With what the frosting is, orwith the like?
If you have a chocolate cake, Iknow what the cake is.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
But if it's not cut, I would say it's chocolate.
If it's cut, I would say it's ayellow cake.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, but let's say you made it so you know what it
is, and you're taking this overto someone.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
You're like I made you a vanilla cake or I made you
a chocolate cake, vanilla cake,okay, you go buy the cake.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That was the debate.
I don't know, it seems to be abig debate.
The cake, because if it'schocolate with vanilla icing, is
it a vanilla cake or achocolate cake?
Chocolate, yeah, see, I go bywhat the core cake is too.
The icing, because you couldhave a vanilla cake.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Who cares?
Just call it cake.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, but if you've got to go, what kind of cake is
this?
It's a cake.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Just got a cake.
Just eat it, because you canhave vanilla with umpteen
different icings on it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, so I just go with vanilla.
I wish I had some cake.
I know I could eat a cake,birthday cake.
You know what cake we need toget ourselves for summertime?
What?
The pink lemonade cake.
We should just get one and twoforks, that's like 10 pounds a
piece, though Might be worth it.
I don't know.
Okay, let's talk about.

How's it going?
We're at a warehouse.
We're at the warehouse today.
If you're watching this, it'stime for another episode of
who's Driving.
Welcome to who's Driving.
I'm Wesley Turner.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And I'm Stephen Merck .
We're two best friends andentrepreneurs.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the
behind the scenes of our lives,friendship and business.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
These are the stories we share and topics we discuss,
as two best friends would on along road trip.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Along the way, we'll check in with friends and offer
a wide range of informativetopics centered around running
small businesses, social mediaand all things home and garden.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You never know who's driving or where we're headed.
All we know is it's always afun ride.
So you know what.
It is summertime and it hasheated up.
It is hot it is hot as helltoday, so I keep saying it feels
extra hot because we haven'tbeen preheated this year, like
(01:00):
we went from a very mild springoverall to a hot, hot, hot
summer.
So if you're listening, we aremakeshift doing this episode
from our warehouse.
This is the moment Stephen andI could, you know, squeeze in
(01:20):
and record, so if the audio'snot exactly perfect this week,
it'll be better.
Also, we're about to take alittle summer hiatus for a
couple of weeks.
We'll talk about that as well.
But we just got back from theDallas market.
It was lots of fun.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And Dylan and I are leaving in the morning.
Tuesday.
When this comes out We'll be inAtlanta back at market.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's Monday at like five o'clock we're recording
yeah, this is due in a few hours, you know last minute on our
homework here.
But it's just the way it works,because we just got back from
Dallas.
We had a lot of fun, so we wentto Dallas market.
We love Dallas market.
I think we've talked about that.
It's just.
It's a more laid back feeling.
If you're a small business andyou go to the Atlanta market and
(02:03):
you've never gone to the Dallasmarket, I would recommend it if
you can probably do both.
Atlanta's the bigger market,has more vendors, has more
vendors.
So if you can only pick one andyou're looking for the best
variety, then I would do Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
If you're clothing boutique, gift and clothing
boutique, I honestly think itdoesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, yeah, if you're clothing, then Dallas would be
great, but on the way out there.
So I set up our flights and wenever really fly Southwest.
I kind of told this in a storyon Instagram.
We never really fly Southwestjust because it's never really
convenient.
I don't know why it used to beconvenient back in the day, but
(02:44):
for us, coming from Greenville,greenville, the times never
match up.
But for one odd reason, thistime, headed to Dallas, we were
on Southwest and then headedback, we were on American.
So, with us not flying thatvery often, it was a little
different.
But I did do the little upgradewhere we were like fourth and
you don't have an assigned seatif you've never flown Southwest
(03:07):
and we were fourth and fifth inline, so we had the pick, but we
had a layover in Nashville andSouthwest will do it different.
I think they're the only onesthat still do it this way.
I mean maybe some of the otherlike affordable or supposed to
be, you know value lines to itthis way, I don't know.
But our flight landed inNashville, but we had.
(03:31):
So we had a layover technically, but we did not get off the
plane.
We were just picking up morepeople, but some people got off
because Nashville was their stopand then some of us were
continuing on to Dallas and wewere just told to stay on the
plane and Stephen was like Iwould have never known that if
you hadn't told me it wasn't onthe ticket and it's not very
clear.
I just happened to be readingour itinerary and I was like, oh
(03:53):
, we don't have to change planes.
It just says, like I don't evenknow what it said, I haven't
done that in like years andyears and years, Like 25 years.
I feel like that used to be anolder model where you would do
that.
So, anyway, we did that.
We held our spot, blah blah,blah, blah blah.
Well, everyone goes to get onand it's a full flight going to
(04:14):
Dallas.
We had one extra person on theflight, one dumbass, so we had
someone standing but in allfairness.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I can see how I mean, of course I called her a
dumbass.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You would have been the dumbass.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You would have been the dumbass Because you could
not tell the way.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah it was very Now hers.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You should have seen.
Hers should have been a littlemore obvious.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Well, what ended up happening?
After delaying us for over anhour and trying to figure out
who was the wrong person?
This is why they should havesigned seats and they wouldn't
have had this problem, whatever.
So there was a lady on ourflight who was going to Dallas.
So this is where it got tricky.
She was going to Dallas, butshe was not going to Dallas on
(05:01):
the flight that we were going toDallas on, so she actually had
a layover, like she should havedeboarded, gone to a different
plane, got on, whatever.
So that ended up being theproblem, cause I was sitting
there going.
How is there one extra person?
Well, they were going.
How was there one extra persontoo?
Cause they were like we havethis list and this list and they
match and they're supposed tobe this number.
(05:22):
There should be one extra seatand we got this person standing
up.
It was a whole shit show.
So that's how we would run anairline.
Like just we don't need a sign.
We got to go, Just stand up.
So, anyway, we got to Dallas.
It was a lot of fun.
We found lots of great thingsthere, but we really booked
Dallas as our last minute fillin because we wanted to knock
out some orders before we wentto Atlanta, because we continue
(05:45):
to run out of time when we're atthe markets and we wanted to do
live sales for those really funfill-in items.
So it was a great y'all.
If you were watching the livesales, they ate it up.
I mean we are sellingeverything.
now we are we are from homedecor to hearts, bras and
panties are next.
That's the one thing we haven'ttackled right.
(06:06):
We have home decor and thenthese lot sales.
Everyone's been loving thejewelry and purses and bags and
we even did body care, which wasgreat and that led into makeup
that this line had and y'allwere eating it up.
So we'll keep doing it.
It's fun for us to get to do avariety.
That's why we like going tomarkets and doing live sales.
(06:27):
We get to do things that wedon't stop, Because what we try
to stock in the warehouse we tryto keep in line with our retail
stores, so we all kind of havesimilar inventory and can pull
from the warehouse when we needto restock the retail stores.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
But it's fun to go do different things, so I have
something funny to talk about.
Okay, you tell us.
So, evidently, I think this isall over the country.
I tried to look it up but itwas being difficult.
But there's a group, facebookgroup, here in Greenville,
uh-huh.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And it's called Fickle.
I've heard of Fickle, it'swhere.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But you have to be accepted or something you have
to be accepted.
It's a Greenville Fickle group.
Okay, it's all women.
So do they have?
They sell their shoes, clothes,belts, accessories, whatever on
there?
Okay, it's bougie women, forthe most part, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's bougie women for the most part.
Okay, and are they, is it?
Well, you're not a member ofthis, You've infiltrated it.
You have a mole in this group.
I have a mole, Okay, so arethey only selling like designer
things, or can?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
they sell whatever.
They can sell whatever, butit's mostly because it's bougie.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
It's mostly designer.
You would be a member of thisgroup if you were a woman in
Greenville.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Absolutely, and I would be the mole, but I'm just
glad that I have a mole and I amprivy to these messages y'all.
You know, as a man, men are notcatty typically.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, women are catty with each other.
There's nothing worse than to.
I mean we have catty.
It's crazy Okay we can talkabout this because we employ
like 90% women and we have beenin business since I've been in.
Well, you've been in businesslonger than me because you're
older than me.
You're in your 50s now.
You're early mid-50s, this istrue, but 2009 is when I opened
(08:28):
the garden shop.
Women women are catty with eachother.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, not with us.
They like us?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, they love us.
Do you know that?
I know this is off track but, Iremember being on vacation and I
had two women at the gardenshop and one of them.
They didn't like each other andthey worked in the same
department.
One of them went and changedwhile I was out of town, went
and changed the other person'sschedule, marked them, said they
were off a day because theywanted to and put themselves on
(08:57):
there.
Then they're calling andfighting.
They just there's some women'sstory.
So these, these women host, Imean y'all are amazing women,
yeah, but y'all a little catty,and that y'all are catty with
each other, yeah, and it's funto watch.
So, speaking of having a lot ofwomen employees, we always
(09:17):
probably shouldn't talk aboutthis, because we have employees,
but if you're listening you'llknow we have our employees at
each store and we call it ouremployee ecosystem.
And if you throw one differentlittle kink in there, or if one
person comes in, that's new andthey're not sure about on the
outside.
For us it is so funny to watchthe dynamic and like there's
(09:40):
true, like with chickens peckingorders, they'll team up on one
and just peck on them.
Peck and complain, peck andcomplain.
If that person leaves one ofthem that they're already
friends with, they turn on thatperson then.
So then they start pecking onthem anyway.
Well, this is with fickle.
Okay.
(10:01):
So fickle, back to fickle.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It is the same thing, so it is so funny to me.
I have never had a look into anall-women's group until now.
Okay, so my mole has let me inon this group Such passive
aggression they have.
(10:24):
Here's the highlights Okay.
These women on here and I'm notgoing to call out specific
names what if they're listening?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
What if they're listening?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You made me laugh, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, we're using this for comedy purposes only.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
They boast about their size, Like if they're
double zero or a two.
Yeah, I'm just.
You know, I am so tiny, oh.
And then the other thing is myboobs are just so big.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, wouldn't fit or something Wouldn't fit.
Do you have some of these folks?
Is that what you, I do?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Okay, let's hear it, let's read us some.
Here's one Worn, twice size,small, amazing dress.
I wore this when I was ninemonths pregnant and tried to
once after, but it is too big onme.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No shit.
Wait, you thought it was stillgoing to fit after being nine
months pregnant, but she's small.
Yeah, she's small, oh my gosh.
Okay.
Okay, here's a thing I like.
This.
We're going to do it.
This is going to be my newstagnant Weekly readings from
Thickle.
Okay, here's a bell.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's a great bell.
I have this bell in the men'ssystem.
Of course you do, bougie, USsize 6.
And then in the comments sheput I'm not going to lie, this
bell is making me regret meetingmy goal weight.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It is so cute is what she says.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
So you know it's this way.
I'm smaller than you, but youcan buy my belt, big girl yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
How crazy.
Who says not going to say youdon't?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
need to say any of that we get it.
It doesn't fit you, or maybeyou just don't like it.
Maybe it didn't look good onyou, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Okay, I wonder, if they do this like okay, I'm
going to read into thepsychology behind this Did she
really just need the money forthe belt and trying to make
herself feel better?
Like you know some of them,it's like do you know what I'm
saying?
You know some.
I don't want you to know reallywhy I'm getting rid of the belt
(12:47):
.
Really I need the money.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, I need the money because I got that credit
card bill coming in where Ibought that new handbag.
Yeah, okay, you got more.
Hey, here's another dress, size00.
Runs very roomy, runs veryroomy.
I think it runs like a two, azero two.
I'm a two in the top half.
This means I'm tiny but I havebig boobs.
(13:11):
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious.
Okay, here's the next oneAmazing dress.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh, no, I already did that.
Oh, that was the nine monthpregnant dress.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Here's another one.
Super cute dress, size small,bought on here.
Wore it once.
It's just too tight in thechest.
I thought men were the onlyones that wanted to talk about
how large their endowments are.
I'm seeing this whole new styleof women.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You it bitty titty.
People can have my dress.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, it's what she said you itty bitty, titty women
with fat asses can have thisbecause my chest is too big.
Here's another one.
Went to wear this for the firsttime and I cannot get it to
snap at the boob and stay cool.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I love your reading your voice for them too.
She's just too big.
Her boobs are too big.
I'm just too big.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
That is hilarious.
So I'm going to sell my pants.
I have these button fly jeansbut I can't get them to close.
They're just too big.
They just won't button in theircrotch.
They won't button in theircrotch, Runs large.
So my mole in the group sendsme these.
(14:37):
And it started out just betweenus and I said you know, this
really needs to be on thepodcast.
And she totally agreed.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So if y'all have fickle where you are, let us
know, and if you have funnylistings, send us the screenshot
.
Is it the same, are they?
Just so big in the chestAggressive and send us the
screenshots of any funnylistings.
That's what we need.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I wish these were not Greenville people so we could
talk about them.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You can't post it to the community.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And you know what?
What If that's what they likedoing you do you boo it's just
funny.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
How does that make you feel better?
But you know it does.
It's just funny.
How does that make you feelbetter, but you know it does.
It's funny Because why can'tyou just list it Cute dress,
certain, certain brand size runstrue to size X amount of
dollars, exactly.
Why do you got to say greatcondition?
Why do you got to put thepersonal touch?
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It makes them feel better.
But see the coming from a veryintelligent, confident person,
empowered woman, which my friendis.
It just is hilarious to her.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, she reads through the listings too and is
laughing.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, she's just like .
She's just, you know, veryconfident.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Well, don't tell they'll be kicking people out
when the word gets out.
They'll be trying to find outwho the mole is.
They'll never know who the moleis.
That's funny.
You would never guess that is.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
That is funny.
This kind of ties in, but youknow, we were just talking about
this the other day and whatwere we talking about?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't even want to know.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Like these, these fake people that that act like
they're friends with people andit is so bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, it goes back to the employees.
Like I was just saying, they'llpeck on one.
This group is friends here,these, however many people, and
they'll pick one to peck on.
And when that weak person isgone from the group, then the
people that they were all tightwith gets remixed and they start
pecking on one of them, right,and then they think they're all
(17:00):
best friends.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, and I want to say to you know, you see it in
groups of people.
Yeah, and listen, I'm going totell you one thing I can say
about me.
I am real.
Yeah, the bitch is what you get.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
If you are in my circle, you know I've got you,
yeah, and if you don't, youdon't.
But I'm not going to say it isnot in me.
And it just amazes me and I seethese people chasing after
these other people that don'teven like them.
They don't like them and I'mlike I want to say they talk
(17:39):
about you, yeah, you thinkthat's your friend that you're
chasing after.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, I'm going to say this and I know you don't
want me to, but I'm going to sayit.
We have had employees.
I ain't going to say this and Iknow you don't want me to, but
I'm going to say it.
We have had employees.
I ain't going to get into anynames, because we own.
We have three locations, soit's a mix, and I know some of
our employees listen, and youprobably do it, so look at
yourself in the mirror.
We have had employees that talkabout another employee.
They don't like them, they wantthem fired.
(18:08):
They don't do this, they don'tdo that, they can't stand them.
They need to go.
They're not good at this.
Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
And then they leave.
Like that person leaves andthey're besties, and then
they're besties.
Well, this person that wasgetting talked about and picked
on by this person is now bestieswith that person and we're like
.
They don't even like you we hadto listen for two years about
how they didn't like you, won'twork with you, don't put me on
the shift with that person, it'strue.
(18:39):
And then they're friends.
We don't do that, but that goesback to being the caddy and the
whole.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But it's amazing, you can sit back and watch.
It just gives me great insighton the way people are.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
See, that's why I only have a handful of friends,
because I'm not playing thecaddy game Like you.
When you pissed me off, I callyou and tell you I'm like you
really pissed me off about this,and that's never happened
actually.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, not really.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But I would, you would, you would, you would go,
that's right.
Well, I've said no.
You really made me mad aboutthis, or you?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
hurt my feelings about this or you're wrong about
it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I've told you stuff like that yeah, but nothing
major yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
It wasn't a.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
No, not like that, but I'm just saying it starts
with the little stuff.
It and I just wouldn't I'm notgoing to go down that it is
hilarious to watch because we'veseen it so many times Over the
years, over the years with them,even in.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
McDonald's.
Let me tell you, it's the samething.
I've had people oh, I hate thisperson.
I don't want that person in mystore.
I don't want them working forme.
They're awful.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
They do that, so do you think it comes down to a
jealousy thing in the momentwhen they're talking about that
person and they see they're goneFor some?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
it is jealousy, yeah, for some it's jealousy, for
some it's just they don't likethem, but why do they end up
being friends or thinkingthey're friends?
I can't get that far up my ass,but I'm not.
It's just bizarre to me,because that's one thing.
(20:19):
I am so and that's.
I wish I had a little bit ofthe bullshitting in me, but it's
not.
I didn't get the chain.
No, you're a.
I struggled, even in McDonald's.
That was my struggle.
Like I could not have climbedthe corporate ladder, like I
couldn't have gone that route Incorporate, corporate, in the
(20:41):
corporate world, because I just,you know, one time the vice
president was visiting me at oneof my restaurants.
Yeah, and this was right afterwe started.
I say we McDonald's started the1-800 number and then mystery
shop program and my field repwas there.
(21:02):
But then the vice president wasthere.
Well, he made the mistake ofasking me Stephen, I would like
your opinion on the 1-800 numberand the Mystery Shop program.
Now, mind you, my numbers weregood on both.
I had no issue personal.
(21:23):
But he asked my opinion.
Don't ask if you don't want toknow, Don't ask if you don't
want me to tell.
So I said, see, I see value inthe Mystery Shop program as long
as everyone takes it for whatit is.
But the 1-800 number, that isabsolute bullshit.
That is a waste of time andmoney for everybody, because
(21:46):
that is the most ridiculousstuff I've ever heard in my life
and it is a waste ofeverybody's time.
He was like, okay, well, thankyou for your feedback, because
they had to have peopleanswering that.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, because they just sent it to the store level.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
It came to the owner.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
So I'm like okay, well, I've got to go to the bank
, so I'm leaving and I get in mycar and I leave and my field
rep calls me and says what inthe hell were you thinking?
Talking to the vice presidentof the company, like that.
I said what are you talkingabout?
And he said you just stoodright there in his face and told
(22:29):
him that you thought the 800number was bullshit.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And it is.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That was fine.
And I said he was all bentabout it and I said, listen, I
will tell you, I will tell him,I will tell everybody.
Do not ask my opinion if you donot want a candid answer,
because I'm going to give it toyou.
And I hung up and it was nevermentioned since.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I was like well, he asked you.
It wasn't like you.
I mean, why ask if you don'twant to know Exactly?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And I wanted to get it across how strongly I felt.
That's why I said it wasbullshit.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
A couple of weeks ago we went to I forgot to mention
this for you we went to theFlorida house.
You know our Florida house andI think someone just canceled a
week.
If you need a place to go inJuly I got to double check that
it might have rebooked, I don'tknow.
Anyway, daniel and I was withmy family down at the Florida
house in Miramar Beach, florida,with my niece there.
(23:29):
She's so cute, she is, is socute.
So my mom had told her on theway down there we were all on
the phone like an ice creamtruck comes by, which it does
the never budding thing, andthose come by with ice cream on
the beach.
So she's, you know that's funfor a six year old.
So we did so.
The ice cream truck came bybefore Daniel and I got there,
(23:52):
or cause they were there a fewdays earlier, so they got that
from them.
So we were on the beach.
And they come by with ice cream, so they come by pulling.
It's just like a wagon with abig cooler on it.
They'll have like their icecream on there.
So we were getting ready toleave the beach and here comes
the guy pulling that.
So my mom's mom's, like youknow, do you want some ice cream
(24:12):
or whatever?
My niece, of course, was likeyes, and my mom's like, well,
get me an ice cream sandwich.
And she got a cone like dum-dumis that what you call them?
Whatever those cones are thatwe've had forever, with the
little nuts on top know how much, and these were like not
anything.
It's like what you would go tosam's and buy in a box.
They were $10 a piece, do youknow?
(24:33):
how much those two cost total.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Captive audience baby $25.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I told Daniel I was like your ass is going to be
down here pulling a coolerbefore you know it.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
A lot of money Captive audience.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But okay, then what we realize.
Also, I don't know that it'stotally legal that they're
selling on the beach like this,because two days later another
guy came by and he had like abanner on his he had like two
pool noodles and a banner withice cream, but it was the same
setup, same cart, big cooler.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Well, I actually funny you bring this up.
I have investigated this.
Okay, Ironically, you have toget a business license to do
that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well see, in Florida, the only thing I don't know
maybe is where our beach is.
It's private beaches Like SouthCarolina.
You don't have private beaches.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, they may have stumbled in on our work.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
You have private beaches and there's public on
each side.
I don't know how it works.
Well, like the next day afterthe ice cream incident, this
other guy comes by and we'relike oh hell, no, we're not
getting ice cream today.
We ain't got no $25.
You ain't getting it today.
No $25 for you today.
You ain't getting it today.
So we're watching and I go upthere to see if he's charging
(25:55):
the same amount, because I waslike how's this work?
You know the entrepreneur in me, I was like I gotta investigate
this.
His were.
I think they were like a dollarcheaper, but it was still, you
know whatever.
So we're standing there and I'mwatching and all these people
come up, probably like 10 people.
So think how much money he'smaking right then, well, all of
a sudden, in the middle of it,he pulls his pool noodles off
(26:19):
and he rolls up his banner andhe puts it under someone's chair
.
Then he takes the cooler andsets it beside a chair, just
like an empty chair, and then heruns off and then, like a
minute later, the beach patrolpolice come by or whatever, and
then, when they're gone, he cameback, set it all back up.
(26:41):
So I guess, he had an informantsaying you know, the patrol's
coming, and so I was like sneaky, sneaky here, but the people
just stood there.
He came back, he took theirmoney and they got their ice
cream and he left.
They didn't care.
They didn't care.
I wouldn't have cared either,but it was funny to watch.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I was making that money off that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I know I'm like he just made, because that ice
cream, you know, is literally acouple of dollars of that.
It's not that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Maybe a dollar.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Nowadays it might be a little more.
It was just your basic icecream sandwich, the Dum Dum
thing or whatever it's calledSnickers ice cream bar.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
You know the typical, I mean with $25, you could have
gotten like at least threeboxes of those.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
But you know, when you got a six-year-old one ice
cream, it don't really matter.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah.
Well, the thing is she's reallygood and if we'd have been like
, ah, never mind, she would havebeen okay with it, she totally
would.
But she had already opened herswhile we were getting my mom's
and was eating it Like, did theasshole?
So the guy and this, the guy webought from was like a younger
(27:59):
guy.
My mom handed me some cash,like ten dollars, you know,
which wasn't enough, and so Iwas like, oh, do you take venmo?
Because we'd walked, you know,just a distance from the.
He's like oh yeah, and so hepulled up his venmo and then I'm
like scanning it to pay him andhe's like tips are appreciated.
Thought like like hell you'regetting a tip.
(28:20):
That was funny.
I was like not when you'recharging $25 for it Crazy, I
know so I might be hustling.
If you see me on the beach inAugust when we're down there
we're down there for, like youknow, two weeks I might be
hustling.
I need to take a cooler and acart and put my sign up.
Dylan's dad has one.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I can have Daniel pull it up and down.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, it was crazy.
So we need to talk aboutSouthernisms.
I got you on a food one and youknow he had to learn.
People do eat cantaloupe andgravy.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yes, somebody messaged and said they eat
cantaloupe and gravy Milk gravy.
That is nasty, nasty, nasty.
What is wrong with you?
It's good, it's damn good, no.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
So here is another thing we did and this may not be
a Southern thing, but I thinkit is.
Yeah.
So in the summer my grandfathergrew I don't know how many
acres of watermelons.
I love watermelons, that wasour thing.
We would get one and put it inthe old refrigerator on the back
(29:35):
porch to get it chilled, andthen we would put newspaper down
.
We had a specific table outsideFor watermelon.
We put newspaper down andthat's where we put our
watermelon out, so it wouldn'tmake a mess, and we put salt on
it.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I love salt on my watermelon.
I don't do it because I'm likeI don't need to do that, but it
is good.
It is good.
Yeah, Do you do salt on?
I've only done it on watermelon, watermelon's the only thing.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
you do that on.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I saw a girl on TikTok last night.
She was doing a watermelon.
She called it a flight.
So she had like sticks ofwatermelon and was putting
different things that people hadtold her that they eat
watermelon with Speaking of this, and, of course, salt, I feel
like a lot of people do salt, orthat's a known thing.
One of them was mustard.
She said that one was actuallygood.
(30:27):
I had seen this one but hadn'ttried it yet.
Cinnamon, because it brings outsome kind of flavor they say.
I can see that I can't rememberthe other ones.
One was like feta cheese, whichI don't.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That is good, feta cheese is something Feta cheese
and balsamic vinegar.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That's.
I think that's what it was.
Yeah, delicious, I can'tremember.
There were like two or threeothers.
The mustard I don't quite get.
Yeah, the mustard was the most,and I love mustard and I love
watermelon, but I don't so, andI love watermelon, but I don't
so.
Do you eat salt or anythingfunky on your melons?
Let us know.
You can let us know in ourhotline, which will be in the
comments below, but we can'tremember the number.
(31:04):
We're not recording at home,we're at the warehouse.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Oh yeah, we don't have the number.
I have no idea what the numberis.
If you held a gun to my headI'd be like 864.
Something the other saying isand my dad says this all of, and
I say it too, but my dad saysit all the time Fair to Midland.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Fair to Midland.
What is that how you doing?
I'm fair to.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Midland.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Never heard that.
What is Midland?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I don't know what Midland is, but that's what we
would say Fair to Midland.
I had forgotten about it, butthen I saw it on a window.
Fair to Midland, fair toMidland.
I can't make that one.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Let me see where it comes from Fair to Midland.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I mean fair, I mean it means so-so You're doing okay
, yeah, like I'm doing fine.
Where?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
does the?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But fair.
I understand I'm doing fair,but Midland to Midland.
Fair to Midland come from Fairto Midland.
It originates from the gradingof agricultural goods,
particularly cotton, in the 19thcentury, and it signified an
average acceptable quality,neither excellent nor poor.
Acceptable quality neitherexcellent nor poor.
(32:23):
The phrase evolved into commonusage to describe anything of
moderate quality or a state ofbeing okay.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So, just like it was a cotton grading, midland,
midland was the cotton grading.
Well, listen, we love toeducate around.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And that makes sense that my dad would say that
because his parents in the earlydays were cotton farmers.
Yeah, who knew.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Now we do this kind of goes along with your.
Well, maybe not.
This is just a general thing,but we're going to move on into
it unless you have somethingelse about Southern over there.
Okay.
So I saw a debate on TikTokagain and the debate was, for
example, it was about cakes andthe debate was let's say, you
(33:04):
have a vanilla cake and it'siced with chocolate icing.
Do you call that a chocolatecake or a vanilla?
Speaker 2 (33:12):
cake.
That's a vanilla cake withchocolate frosting?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yeah, but like what kind of cake are we having?
Don't say what you would callit.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I mean, I guess you would call it a chocolate cake,
but it's really not a chocolatecake.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, see, I would call it vanilla cake.
That was the debate.
Like which one do you go?
With what the frosting is, orwith the like?
If you have a chocolate cake, Iknow what the cake is.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
But if it's not cut, I would say it's chocolate.
If it's cut, I would say it's ayellow cake.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, but let's say you made it so you know what it
is, and you're taking this overto someone.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
You're like I made you a vanilla cake or I made you
a chocolate cake, vanilla cake,okay, you go buy the cake.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That was the debate.
I don't know, it seems to be abig debate.
The cake, because if it'schocolate with vanilla icing, is
it a vanilla cake or achocolate cake?
Chocolate, yeah, see, I go bywhat the core cake is too.
The icing, because you couldhave a vanilla cake.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Who cares?
Just call it cake.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, but if you've got to go, what kind of cake is
this?
It's a cake.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Just got a cake.
Just eat it, because you canhave vanilla with umpteen
different icings on it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, so I just go with vanilla.
I wish I had some cake.
I know I could eat a cake,birthday cake.
You know what cake we need toget ourselves for summertime?
What?
