Yeah, maybe I don't know, I'llhave to look it up.
But anyway, her and somefriends opened a store against
the grain and then they alsohave a little plant shop.
They did this whole meal thing.
So I went over there and sawthem the other day.
They'd ordered some stuffwholesale from us, so I dropped
that off.
But when I was there, walked inand there the Pickens girls were
(02:16):
there, the ones that you'venever met, the ones that I told
you I saw at the outlet storethe last time.
Oh, I haven't met them, youhaven't met them.
But I thought how funny is that?
Because I mean, it's not likeI'm at Central Store, I mean
that was my second time goingthere since they've been open
and I walked in and then therethey were, and then so I had
(02:36):
just gotten there and I did, Idid talk to him.
I mean I said hey, or whatever.
But I'm also giving him a shoutout, because then, when I was
on my way home, I was like, oh,I hope I gave them enough time.
Like you know, I was justgetting there and I was like, oh
, hey, how's it going?
And then I was, I don't know,got interrupted or something.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But anyway, hey, girls, hey yes, I used to get
off the school bus there whereat the roller mill, at the
roller mill.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So if you're in the upstate you need to go on over
to central south carolina and goto the roller mill and check
out their um setup there.
They have on I don't knowexactly what days I think
thursday, friday, saturday,maybe wednesday, I don't know.
They have a food truck.
That's there those three days.
I mean they're open seven daysa week.
(03:18):
Then they have like a tap truck, that's there.
They have their plant shop, abakery um and their little like
merkin not little that's amercantile store there, um.
So it's a whole little littlesetup.
If you, if you over there inthe area, go check them out for
sure we need to have them on and, like um, ask them all about
(03:43):
business stuff and what they'vedone so far.
I I walked in and I was there.
It's like I'm here for yourgraded visit and I'm inspecting.
So no, it was fun.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I even bought a little plant how funny is that I
need to go down there you do?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
they've been asking, I was like he's a coming.
He's a coming, it's it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You know when it's, you know when you go.
How can I word this correctly?
I just have to be in the rightframe of mind all the way around
to go like backtrack into myhistory, into your past.
Yeah, does it.
You know like you are when yougo to Covington, because you get
it in your head, not that youdon't.
I love it, I love it, you loveit, we all love it but it's like
(04:28):
you.
You really I don't, I don'tknow how to pass trauma or
something, I guess I guess, Iguess I'm not like that you are
you are like that.
You are like that, You're justsaying that because your family
listens.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah you are like that, you're like I'm going home
.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
No, it is something, I'm being serious, it's
something not a bad thing, it'snot like oh, I hate going there,
it's not bad at all yeah, it islike you have to be Well in my
mindset.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm like that to go anywhere, I mean, unless it's to
the beach, Even that sometimes.
I mean I love going to ourbeach cottage, I love it and
that's when we go, and we'lleven stay there for two weeks.
But the build-up for me toleave to go anywhere is tough.
These days.
Well, yeah, you know, becausethere's so much prep and stuff
(05:28):
like that and it's like ugh.
But then when I get there, youknow love it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's like God I got to bathe, I got to brush my butt
, I got to brush my teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's just all this stuff, all this stuff.
I know that you got to do so.
Yes, so Dinner in the Dahliasis coming up this week.
I think there might be like oneticket or two tickets left to
the October day, whatever daythat is.
(06:00):
Oh, I thought it was sold out,I think.
Well, I guess I should lookbefore I say that October 4th.
Well, see, here's the thing.
Daniel kept adding tickets,basically.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Here's the thing I just told someone we were sold
out.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Let me look on his website and see if it's sold out
and you get on here and saythat, well, I don't know now
that I say it.
So what happened is Daniel hadin his mind that he wanted it at
like 75 people max.
And I was like well, last yearwe had like 90 something.
We originally had like 130 lastyear, but then the hurricane,
(06:42):
so some people couldn't make itbecause they were coming from
out of town, and so we had like90 something people last year.
And he's like I'm just going,which was great.
But I don't know why in hismind he even from last year, I
think next year I'm just goingto do 75 and we're going to do
two dinners and I was like okay,that's what, whatever you want
(07:02):
to do.
Well then, you know, when thetickets sold out, he kept adding
and people kept saying like, oh, I need the September date, not
the October date, sort of thing.
Well, with the rentals theykind of just to take advantage,
you need to match them up.
You know, like if you add 10extra people on in September,
(07:24):
you need to add 10 extra ticketsin october because we're
already renting the things.
So then we ended up with, Ithink, when he finally um, yeah,
there's, there's a couple oftickets.
I can't tell how many, but Ithink there's only two left.
If someone wants to come lastminute local um, so that upped
(07:44):
the number in the October one.
So we have like 90-somethingpeople to come into each dinner
and Stephen has to come to bothof them.
He's like I'm coming out thereto dinner twice.
I'm like, yes, you are, we gotlots of people coming from out
(08:05):
of town.
Lots of our friends, some thatlisten here.
No Brooks coming from.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
New York, new York.
Yeah, I'm looking forward toseeing them.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I need to add name tags to our list of things we
need, because I don't think wedid that last year.
We need name tags and wherethey're from.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'm going to put a name.
I we need name tags and wherethey're from.
I'm going to put a name.
I'm changing my name.
What is your name?
I haven't decided, but I'mgoing to put a name and where
I'm from and that's going to bemy personality for the night.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh Lord, lord, Wanda, we're going to call you.

So I was scrolling throughsocial media I think this one
was on TikTok and I saw this guypop up and he was telling me
phrases that we say wrong, andthere were a couple you say a
lot wrong.
I say a whole lot wrong.

We know that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):

I thought you were saying pike,yeah, I don't remember, but
coming down the pike it's pikelike the trail.
Speaker 2 (09:51):

Speaker 2 (15:51):
I mean a lot of people do sorry, terry.
Terry, I love you.
You just work that in wheneveryou can.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I thought it was funny I thought it was funny.
Terry, I thought it was funny.
Terry's going to throw me downin the dirt.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I think, this weekend , because they're coming to this
one and then my mom's coming tothe next one and then, like we
said, we have people coming fromout of town.
I think we should break out themicrophone and record people
for a podcast segment and wecould interview.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You could interview Terry and say Terry, when did
you know that Wesley really didnot care for you?
Was it early on or was it more?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Terry knows that's a lie.
That is a lie.
Oh goodness, you try to get meinto trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
No, I mean you do you like Terry and I like Dylan's
mom?
I mean I kind of I just saywhatever.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I probably offend her a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I was going to say you offend most people.
But somehow you do it in a waythat they're not offended.
You offend them without thembeing offended.
I don't know how you get awaywith it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You do it and laugh or something, and people, just
play it off you know arestaurant owner in downtown
Greenville just told me thatthis past weekend what.
That I have an art for tellingsomebody to F off and they don't
even know what hit them.
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It is an art that you don't even realize you're doing
and you have a way with sayingvery what would probably offend
people or be inappropriate.
You have a way of saying it andpeople aren't offended, but if
other people said it to them,they would be offended.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, when I had McDonald's, that's what my
cashiers and stuff would alwayssay they would say if I said
that to that customer, we wouldhave gotten 800 complaints.
Right, you say it and theylaugh, right, but you know what
would drive me crazy?
Okay, y'all listen.
This is important.
This is a PSA, this is not forMcDonald's, this is for anywhere
(18:08):
.
Oh God, step on up.
Get your money ready.
Get your car ready.
Get your money ready.
Get your car ready.
Get your app ready.
Don't be one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I know I really try to do that and sometimes I'll go
through like Starbucks with theapp or whatever and I'll get to
the window.
I've been in line for fiveminutes, that's the problem, and
I don't have my app ready.
I'm like I know you get so damntired of waiting on people
pulling out this app andwhatever.
But sometimes ADD people I meanit'd be different if I had cash
(18:41):
, because I would just have thatsitting there.
But with an app like aStarbucks app, for example, I
pull around, there's three carsin front of me.
Well, by the time I've donescroll TikTok for 10 minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I will say this.
I will say this.
I will say this about starbucksapp.
Sometimes it's shitty and youtry to be ready and and it won't
let you right.
I tell them when I get up thereI try to be ready, but this
piece of shit won't let me rightand they laugh and they're like
we get it.
Yeah, like I.
I don't mean to hold youdrive-thru up.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And so what I'll do is I'll open up my app, I'll hit
scan or whatever, so it's there, and then I'll just go to
another app.
Well, it has cleaned out, shutdown, restart.
Might as well write them acheck at this point.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You got to start all over again.
It's just.
But yeah, people would get upand it would drive.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You're like you've been in.
You've been because you gotthat.
You know that timer countingdown.
You're like you've been in linefor two minutes and you didn't
have your money, or?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
you just realized your damn purse was in the trunk
of your car and you got to parkand get out.
Like it's a whole thing, likeI've had crazy women get out of
their car to dig their purse outof the trunk.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well, why are they going to be crazy?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And then, the car just go rolling and hit the curb
.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh, they left it in drive and everything.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, just screw the whole thing up.
I've had them digging in theirpurse and just drive right into
the building.
I mean, come in.
If you're like that, go inside.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Not to be Debbie Downer, but didn't you have
someone die in the drive-thru,die in the drive-thru.
Didn't someone like die in thedrive-thru or have a heart
attack or something.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No, she was on drugs.
Well, it was kind of sad shehad gotten out of the hospital
and, which was crazy, herhusband let her drive home um
was he in the car?
With no she was on some kind ofvery strong medication.
(20:48):
She went through the speakerand then she swung way out.
This was at moonville, right,this one right here and then,
all of a sudden, I was in theoffice.
I didn't see any of it, butthen the whole building shook
she crashed into it crashed intothe building, yeah, and I was
(21:08):
like what in the hell?
and she was like it was.
She was like a drunk person.
I thought she was drunk and Iwas like call 911.
And come to find out.
The police got there, Everybodygot there, had to call her
husband and I felt bad for her.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'm like, so she was on like prescription drug.
Like, not a drug, she was anice lady.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean she was just out of it, but yeah, I've had
everything happen.
And then I had a one girl.
She meant to press the brakeand she hit the accelerator and
literally drove her lexus intothe dining room.
And somebody I watched thecamera.
(21:53):
This is not funny, but I meanthe god was watching out for
this man at the.
He was sitting at the boothwith his back to the wall and
this lexus comes crashingthrough, you know, and it wasn't
slow.
I mean, this is pretty fast, doyou know?
(22:13):
He managed to stand up and runwith it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And did not get hurt.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I mean, if that had been me, he would have fumbled
right out of the booth and beenunder the car.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I would have been.
Under the car, I'd have beenchanging the oil for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And I watched it.
I mean I was so impressedbecause most, let me tell you,
most people would have been inthe floor, call 9-1-1.
I'm hurt, you know, get to getsome money.
And he, he just went with it.
He was like I'm good I watchedon camera and I was like that's
just that's unbelievable, thatis crazy unbelievable.
(22:53):
Yeah, so you know, don't dig inyour damn pocketbook so get
your money ready, is what yousay yeah, get your money ready.
Get your card ready, pay for,use a card to in a drive-thru.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It's so much easier the only reason I use the
starbucks app is because theycan't ask you for a tip because
if you get, points, the points.
You know that's a whole, nother.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
But they cut that down.
Hell, you have to go there 58times to did they fire their um
person again, the new one?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't know, I don't know they're, they're, they've
screwed that up.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You've got to go go there.
You've got to spend like$10,000 to get a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, see they get you hooked in collecting those
points.
That's what I'm going to do toour customers.
You know we have our pointsystem for oh they can't figure
that out.
I made it as simple as I can.
How do you do that I can, andthey still can't figure it out,
and I just ain't worried aboutit, but I might start making it
(23:57):
more and more points.
I know Stephen was so excitedbecause he is such a point
person.
It is simplified now.
If you shop at the Nested Figon the app or website, once you
do the initial three things, youget bonus points in your
birthday.
But then you get a point perlike dollar or something, and
you just collect them and,however many it is, gets you ten
(24:19):
dollars off.
It's simple now, but and itwas- I do.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I get so excited.

Where were we flying to?
Oh, we were flying to key westand um, we were checking in at
the counter and she said, oh,American Express, they have a
new American Express.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'm good, everybody can go first class.
I'm with you First class, butno, I got the points and but
then they kind of get youbecause you're like now I gotta
spend six thousand dollars youknow, the whole thing is set up
to kind of get you oh, I know,and I had told you fall for
(26:08):
points and like you are gettingsomething free, free, free and I
told dylan he saw, but you gotto spend $6,000.
I said it's fine, I'll putsomething for the business on my
card and pay me back.
Yeah, and I'll get the points.
It didn't work that way.
I just said I'll just buy this.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh my God, but I got the points and I got a plane
ticket.
But yeah, where are you going?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I don't know Dylan's going to be sitting back in
coach.
He'll be in coach.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
He'll be traveling like my pet dog.
I'm going to have him in a dogcarrier and you're going to be
up in first class.
He would probably throw me fromthe airplane.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I would.
That is something you wouldprobably do, though.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, it is not, but first class is more important.
For me, though, and you.
We have long legs, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Bunched up back there in the back.
It's rough these days.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wouldn't be able to walk for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I know, I mean that's the truth.
I haven't been able to walk.
My back has been I haven't beenable to walk for three weeks.
I know, I mean, that's thetruth.
I haven't been able to walk forit.
My back has been on the edgefor three weeks.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
You've got to go to my car.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I need to go to a chiropractor and get it popped.
I also need to go.
I've decided I need to do itthis week.
I need to go get a vitamin IV.
I feel like it's a combinationof.
I need to be flushed out andhydrated.
I probably need some vitaminsLoosen up my muscles.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
You're pushing 50 is what it is.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I'm not pushing 50.
I'm 44.
You'll be 45.
If I'm pushing 50, you'repushing 60.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
No, I'm in my early 50s, You're mid 40s.
In my early 50s, you're mid-40s.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I am mid-40s.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm still early 50s, it's okay, I look good.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's better than Alternative it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I will say I think I talked to you about this.
I heard a thing last year.
I heard it several times and Iwas say I think I talked to you
about this.
I heard a thing like last year.
I heard it several times and Iwas like whatever it could have
been an ad, I don't know where Iheard it, but it says that your
body rapidly ages two times inyour life and it's 44 and then
(28:31):
60, something Like they'vestudied and it like kind of
you're aging.
I will say this year at 44, andI'm not saying I feel bad or
anything, but I definitely feeland feel like I look older than
I did you do.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
No, no, no, not in a bad way, but you've gone through
the next.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I've already gone through them, right, and you do
that same thing, like I feel,like for men, when you get into
we were talking about it theother day from someone who
hadn't seen me in a long time,but like from your.
You know your early 30s 29, 30,I feel like in your mid 30s,
like 35, 36, you go through andyou don't look like that college
(29:24):
still kind of baby face usefullook you kind of.
There's like a period in therewhere you kind of age and now I
feel like at at 44, I feel likemy neck looks and it's not.
Listen, it's not bad, I'm not.
I'm not saying anything aboutmy look, but it's different than
it was two years ago, like it'sa little looser.
(29:45):
You get that angle it was badtwo years ago, any angle when
you're over 40 or like 30s, butit just looks, I don't know,
different.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, it does, and you know, you know that's.
The question I have is like atwhat point do I fix it like I'm
not?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
do I keep mine I am.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm, I'm going to fix mine, but I'm going and listen.
I I'm not one of those people.
I'm not gonna lie about it, I'mnot gonna hide it right, I'm
not one of those people.
I'm not going to lie about it,I'm not going to hide it.
I'm not going to do any of that.
I'm going to put it out there.
Hell yes, I got a facelift andit's the way it is.
But I'm going to do the lower.
I'm going to do the deepplaning and lower facelift.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But I just don't know .
You're not going to be able tolie anyway, because your fair
skin and your scarring, you'regoing to look like you have a
mask on because it's going tolook like you've got a line all
the way around your face.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well, it'll be right here.
It'll be in my ears and I don'tknow what you won't see your
ears, so it's fine.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I would rather have a scar around my ears than um,
but you know, but I feel likethis year is the first year like
there is a difference, like, oh, not just up until this point.
I feel like I can look atpictures and go, oh yeah, you
look older, yeah, you look older.
Like there hasn't been a changewhatever.
But like this year, I feel likeit wrapped, like it like I read
(31:18):
last year, like there's a rapidchange where it's all of a
sudden like a difference.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yeah, you've just kind of drawn up.
You're such an asshole no, Imean age.
Aging happens and I'm thankfulto age.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Only thing I want to do.
I mean, I'm not saying I wouldnever have a facelift or stuff
done.
You know I get Botox, whateverbut I do want I think I'm going
to do it in January I want sometype of face like I don't know
what yet I haven't talked toanybody Peel or laser or
something, laser or you know Ishould have listened to my
(31:57):
mother.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
My mother was religious about having, uh,
chemical pills, yeah.
And when I turned 30 she saidthen you need to start getting a
pill once a year at 30, yeah,and I would not do it.
So I actually went for a consultlast year about getting a
facelift and she said you're notready yet, you don't have
(32:20):
enough, you don't have enoughsagging bag yet, but you're
pre-facelift.
So, um, and I probably willstart this in January.
We're going to, I'm going toget my face lasered so it will
clean up my face and andhopefully build some collagen
back before my face.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I want to do something like that, Just cause
I have a couple of spots thatare like sunspots.
You know, I worked outside mywhole twenties with no sunscreen
.
Ever anything Wasn't worriedabout it then.
So I just want a little bit ofthat cleaned up, if it's
possible.
Shut your ass.
He is over here looking at meand trying not to take the road.
(33:03):
There's so many funny things Icould say there are.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to be mean likeyou are.
I'm not mean.
No, it was funny because whatyou were referring to is one of
a McDonald's owner that you metyears ago.
He watched one of our livesales and he said God, wesley
(33:28):
has aged.
And I said and I was like, no,he hasn't.
And then I added it up and ithad been like 10 years, it had
been 10 or 11 years since he'dseen me and there's been a lot
of stress, a lot of employees,but you think about that that's
a long time.
(33:48):
And I told him.
I said, well, you know, it'sbeen over 10 years, I guess he
has.
Yeah, and he laughed.
He was like from the last timehe doesn't look bad, but it's
just Right from the last time hesaw me Because you wouldn't
have had gray hair.
No, and in all fairness, thelast time you saw him he was in
his 60s and he's almost 80 now.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, so he's aged Right Like he's almost 80 now.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, so he's aged Right.
Like you would be like.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Ooh, you know, he still looks great for his age,
so I'm not talking bad but Ineed to go back and try to find
some photos of you early onbecause I don't feel like you've
aged that much, but I know youhave really in the last couple
(34:33):
of years.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I've aged.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Now that I look at you.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
No, I'm just kidding, I've aged.
No, I have, we're all aging,but you still look good.
I was blessed with goodgenetics as far as like skin,
and I do have that you know, Itypically don't have wrinkly
skin, that's true, but that'sjust a, that's nothing I've done
(35:01):
.
I mean, I've tried to do things, but that was truly genetic,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I'm going to have really wrinkly skin when I get
older.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You either.
I think you either do or youdon't.
One of my grandmothers, mydad's's mother.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
She had the most wrinkly skin I've ever seen,
that's how my on my mom's side,like her dad's side, they're
like that her neck was just andshe wasn't a big lady.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, it's a genetic thing.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
It was like something I've never seen before.
It was like just fat and shewasn't fat.
Yeah, I mean, it was just allthese amelian wrinkles, deep
yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Deep.
Yeah, that's how my mom's sideis going to be, and I feel like
that Look, because when you lookat my skin, how it looks a
little.
Like that.
I'm like, oh, I'm going to getthat deep, but that's fine.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
It's fine.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I mean every Listen.

no, but do all of their thingshave the padded?
Oh, some of them are buttlifting, dylan has?
Speaker 1 (39:42):
dylan has an ass like a caboose, he's got a dump
truck, so he got a lift.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, but some are lifting and some are padded.
I'm looking at at this.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, if you lifted mine, my legs would be.
I would be walking on my knees.
There is nothing to lift, so Ijust did the padded.
I need to order more.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
When you do padded, I need to click on one.
Can you get different levels ofpadding?
No, or is?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
it, just one, not to my knowledge.
Okay, they're not a bad price.
They're not hot.
See, I've had that comment.
Are they hot?
Do they feel hot, sweaty?
Your butt does not sweat.
They do not feel hot.
They do not feel any differentthan any of my other panties you
(40:36):
have trunks.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I did briefs.
I like the trunks.
Well, I mean, you should getwhat you normally wear, excuse
me so you'll be more comfortable, mm-hmm.
Okay, and I'm a brief boy, so Igot briefs and I think they sit
.
I like the briefs because Ithink they sit really nicely.
(40:59):
Okay, and even I've had womeninquire about it.
They do not make it for women,which is crazy.
Rounder bum, come on.
You got to make it for theladies too.
But if you're a lady that'slacking some ass, you should try
the briefs and get them in,like in the small or medium,
(41:22):
however size you are, and seehow they fit Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I'm going to get some and we're going to see about
this.
What else do they have Clothing?
I will say they do fill it outand make things 's like a padded
bra there's no different.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
And it's such a small pad, like it doesn't.
I was like I hope.
I was like this shit ain'tgonna work this ain't enough.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Well, it's probably the shape, the cut, and where.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's just that little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
So when you're sitting, you have them on today?
Mm-hmm, when you're sittinghere, does it feel like you're
sitting on anything?
Mm-mm, Okay, mm-mm.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
No, it doesn't do anything.
It doesn't even.
It doesn't even mute your farts, None of it.
It's just like regular.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
They have shapewear.
I need that too.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I'm going to order that too.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Slim, fit and lift boxer.
I'm going to have to sign off.
We're going to have to wrapthis up.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
You're going to get a girdle like my great
grandmother, my greatgrandmother, my great
grandmother.
Her name was Ludi Uh-huh.
I'm named after her.
Her name was Ludi Stevens andlet me tell you, honey, you did
not catch her at the churchhouse without her girdle on.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I wonder if, like one of these light compression tank
.
I can't stand the feel of atank top, though they I don't do
well with compression.
I bought um what is that stuff?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
What's that stuff that everybody wears?
Spanx, spanx.
I bought the Spanx for men, um,mainly for, like, uh, when I
wear suits.
I just wanted my shirts to looksuper neat.
They hurt my back.
I don't know why it always Ihave severe lower back pain with
(43:30):
it.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I need something posture correcting, but I want
it.
Surely there's something like at-shirt level, not something I
told you.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
I watched that where I there's something like a
t-shirt level, not something Itold you.
I watched that where I couldhit you with a 2x4 in the back
and that fixes it.
It was videos.
They screamed it hurt, but theysaid it fixed it.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
No, they did not.
That is a lie.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
They would whack it and go.
They'd go.
They were fixed.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
I need something that just pulls it back a little bit
.
Just a little bit pulls it back.
You know they have things liketech, things like you can put on
your back and then it vibrateswhen you're slouching.
I'm like the battery would bedead.
It'd be like oh okay, let mepull it back.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
I tried to sit up.
That was one of my mom's petpeeves.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
She would always say sit up, sit up straight sit up
straight.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
We don't slouch at the table.
Well, you don't, but I do.
I think I probably sit there.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
That's probably one time I got hit in the mouth.
Probably Do you have anythingelse for us today.
Did you bring anything to thetable?
Any stories you got, anysouthernisms?
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I'm about to pull this baby over.
Well, you need to calm yourselfdown.
Well then, you need to get inhere.
I do have.
Drive us on home A southernism.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Do tell um so I messaged.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I messaged family and I said what is something um?
I think here, what I said um,what are some crazy redneck
southern sayings or something wedid growing up?
Just, I needed a differentperspective.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yeah, do tell.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Well, I think we talked about this already.
Finer than frog hair.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
We did.
Yeah, that's what they do, andStephen uses that one all the
time.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
I do say finer than frog hair Someone had emailed.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Hold on before, because I just saw this today
and actually shout out Sherry,sherry Knoll.
She sent us the nicest email tothe warehouse, because, you
know, usually it's peoplebitching, complaining about
something we did wrong, we puttheir tape on crooked or
something I don't know.
I'm just kidding, we actuallyhave good customers.
(45:58):
But she sent a verycomplimentary email about how
she's been ordering for a whileand everything's good all the
way.
I know that Wes and Steven arethe faces voice of the Nested
Fig family, but how good we areat hiring good workers all the
way to the packers anyway inhere.
(46:19):
She was wrapping up, though,and said, um, wish I was a spit
away.
She said there's a southernismfor you spit away, I heard that
a spit away.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
So it's close spit away.
So one thing she texted me backand she said you haven't talked
about.
That I haven't talked about onthe podcast is chickens, and
we've talked about chickens,chicken shit.
I don't know if we.
(46:53):
She asked if if I ever talkedabout how we had to kill the
chickens.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
No, I guess that was minor.
In your butchering daydepartment you talked about hogs
, but I don't think you talkedabout butchering chickens.
Before I went vegetarian, I wasthinking about raising chickens
and butchering them and then Iwas like well, I could raise
them and take them to getbutchered, but that's hard to
find we talked about that youand I talked about that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
That way it would be better quality.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Right, that's my thing with meat is not eating
meat.
Although I have to say, afterhaving you know Ruby the pig, I
don't know that I can eat porkever again, but chicken I mean,
I don't know that I can eat porkever again, but chicken I mean
I don't have a problem.
Eating meat is my point for theanimal point I just there's so
(47:44):
much crap in the meat that youbuy.
But anyway, that's here, northere.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah, we used to have chickens.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
We had egg-laying chickens.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
And we had dinner chickens.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
So dinner chickens, you know you didn't get attached
to.
They were never as pretty,anyway, they were all about
fattening them up.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
And you know how we.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
I'm very weak, like.
I don't like blood, I don'tlike gross, I don't like any of
that.
Why am I that way?
Because I grew up.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Well see, when you were a kid, you didn't know any
different.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
It was like the Texas chainsaw massacre, where, when
I grew up and now I would be.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
But see, you didn't know any different.
That's what you were used tothen.
And then you grew up and youstep back and you were like what
the hell were we doing?
You know, step back and youwere like what the hell were we
doing?
You know, it's like how we usedto run around the yard and look
for snakes and well we wouldring their heads off.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
You would just grab one and ring you just grab it
and do it like that and then thebody would go flying off and
then it would run around for afew couple minutes, and then it
would just fall over.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
That is that is so bad.
I mean it's not, I mean it'swhatever, but I'm just like I
cannot imagine doing that Icouldn't do it now.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yeah, I mean, I guess if I were on an island and I
was starving, yeah, I could doit.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
I would not but that's where the saying running
around like a chicken with itshead cut off.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
It literally runs around.
Just it doesn't make a noisebecause it doesn't, oh my God,
but it does.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
That is so.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
If our listeners are out there, they've probably
they've experienced that ifthey've had chickens, no they
probably haven't, and not thatmany people have chickens.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Do you know how disconnected the world is from
their food at this point?
Like people would ask me likewe had chickens even when we
lived in the city.
Well, how do you get eggs ifyou don't have a rooster?
Well, honey, the egg's not thebaby, it's an egg.
You know how you have an egg ifyou're a woman.
Your chickens have eggs, it hasto have a rooster to be
(50:05):
fertilized, that they have tosit on to have a chick.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
You have to sit on it or you have to put it in an
inkabaker.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
But there's still an egg that comes.
It should be inca baker.
I just can't imagine I can'timagine doing that.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Now, I mean, can you imagine if I said, if you were
like what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (50:28):
I'm like oh, I just killed three chickens I had a
mean chicken even here and I wasgonna kill it, and then I
couldn't do it.
I was like I'll just smack itreally hard.
You know, take a shovel andchop its head off.
I couldn't bring myself to doit, so I just threw it outside.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
The chicken can't let a fox, yeah, and I was like
something to get you in a fewdays, you little asshole.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
He was mean just.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
I don't like those mean ones that flog.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Our neighbor downtown .
This is funny downtown we livedin a cute little bungalow so
cute, the lot was literally apostage stamp and we had a
neighbor next door to us andtheirs was the same way and we
had chickens and she hadchickens or whatever.
We had bees.
We probably I don't know I hada mini farm right there, but she
(51:16):
was.
And you were, literally yourbackyard backed up to a four
lane interstate, yeah, so anyway, and she did the same thing and
we had our garden, she had hergarden, but she had a rooster
like a chicken and it ended upbeing a rooster and I think it
ended up being mean too, becausewe didn't mind the roosters or
whatever.
And she said that she went outthere and she was going to
(51:40):
butcher the chicken or whatever.
She was laughing.
So she was like you know, Iguess she's maybe done it before
, I don't know, but she's like Iwas going to butcher this
chicken.
And so she said she grabbed itup and she was like you know,
she still had to talk herselfinto it Like OK, I can do this.
(52:02):
And she said so she finally didit and she went to chop its head
off in her whatever.
She was chopping it off withhatchet or whatever.
It was dull and it just bouncedoff the chicken's neck after
talking to talking herself intodoing it.
It just bounced off and thechicken just squawked, and
herself into doing it.
It just bounced off and thechicken just squawked and she
said she just let it go.
And she was like I can't dothis there.
(52:25):
Um, I was like that's whatwould happen to me.
I would get the car okay, I'mgonna do it and then go to kill
it and it just bounced right offits neck seems like I remember
that happening to me too.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
I just don't know how I?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
How in the hell have we driven down this path to
talking about butchering?
Speaker 1 (52:46):
chickens.
Well, I reached out to a familymember and that's what I got.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
That's what they were telling you.
Speaker 1 (52:53):
That's what I got.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
I mean, I had chickens and stuff growing up.
We never butchered any of themor anything.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
In later years.
No, I mean I had pigeons.
I have had every pet.
I have had rabbits in the house, I've had pigeons.
I've had cockatiels, Cockatoos,I've had finches.
I've had pigeons.
I've had cockatiels, cockatoos,I've had finches.
I've had a pet goat.
(53:21):
I think I've had every pet.
The only thing I have not hadis like a raccoon.
I never had any like major wild.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
I would love a raccoon, like a baby.
You know, I had this squirrel.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I know they're so cute, but you would have to get
it as a baby, right, as araccoon, like a baby.
You know, I had this squirrel.
They're really cute.
I know they're so cute, but youwould have to get it as a baby,
right, as a baby baby, I know,but that's one I've never had.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
You know, I've had squirrel two now.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
I've never.
I never had a squirrel, butsomebody when we used to camp
and somebody at the campgroundhad a pet squirrel and I was
just absolutely in love with it.
But my grandparents were likeyou ain't having no squirrel.
I'm nasty that is funny.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
I love my wife.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
They're not nasty if they're in the house.
No.
I need, you need anothersquirrel, I know that would I
need.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
You need another squirrel, I know that would be
fun and I need another pig, acute little pig that was.
I'll get back around to thatone day, but I want it I'll do.
I will do it a little bitdifferent.
In the training department, Imean, ruby was great, but you
know, ruby lived in our closets,our master closet, but that
wasn't bad, was it?
It wasn't bad.
(54:40):
The only thing, the only reasonit was bad, is because they are
very like.
That was her home, so she wastrained to go to our closet.
She would stay in there,whatever, anything like that.
But then if she went in there,like in the morning, she wanted
out of the closet.
So you had like she was readyto go out of the closet.
(55:00):
And if we went on trips orsomething like, we kind of had
to have someone come stay at thehouse Because she was used to
her closet, because she was usedto her closet.
So I would have.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
Great train them.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Well, even that, or I would have like a little
outside area built for her wherethey go every day, like a cute
little shed barn, like off thepatio, that, but not that that
she could go to, like when we'regone or something, I don't know
.
That's the only thing.
The only thing I didn't.
(55:34):
We just don't have a good placein our house that separates,
because our whole bottom flooris open.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
And if you have a pet pig, here's the thing Dylan's
sister had one Now we do have.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
How I've divided off the garage and finished what's
supposed to be our mudroom, Iguess she could, technically,
that could be her home now.
Yeah, and then she would be outof the house and could come
right in there.
That's what I would do now.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
So Dylan's sister got one Mm-hmm and his name was
Peanut Mm-hmm.
You have to be very, verydisciplined with pigs, because
they have no off switch oneating Right.
So you have to measure theirfood or they get obese.
Speaker 2 (56:20):
Right, and you have to have one that's genetically
going to be smaller.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
Mm-hmm, because if you keep feeding, feeding,
feeding, feeding, that thingain't going to be small Mm-mm.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
Mm-mm, it's going to be big.
See I could do it in the garagenow or the mud room, Cause I
could set up even under, Daniel,if you're listening.
No, but you know, like underthe staircase that could be a
little pig.
I could clean out that closet,put a little, um, cute little,
what do you call it?
Dutch door in there.
Speaker 1 (56:53):
I loved Ruby and she was so, so smart.
I loved Ruby and she was so, sosmart.
I mean, that's the only petI've ever agreed to pet sit.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
But she was so smart.
Very smart.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
But you know she would wake up and if she was in
a bitch mood, you knew it.
She was like bitchy yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
She would have bitchy .
Speaker 1 (57:17):
Yeah, she would have an attitude and then sometimes
Because I would call you earlierin the day and you'd be like
she's awful today she's in abitch mood.
And so the week before she diedI was pig sitting and I came
(57:39):
out here and I guess she waspissed that you had left.
And I came in and she was awfulto me.
She was so hateful and Ithought you know, heifer, I'm
leaving.
She would not have anything todo with me.
(58:00):
So hateful and I thought youknow, heifer, I'm leaving.
She would not have anything todo with me, which it wasn't
normal, yeah.
So I was like have at it,sister, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
I mean, and I'm having all these conversations
with her.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
And so then I came back the next day and I guess
she had cooled down and shecouldn't have been down Mm-hmm,
and she couldn't have beensweeter, couldn't get enough of
you yeah, she was just, and I'mlike well, you like me now how
the attitude has changed.
Yeah but no, I mean, they'resmarter than dogs, I mean they
(58:34):
really are.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Maybe one day I'll get another one, but see also
then going to Florida for twoweeks.
We can't take a pig to theFlorida cottage.
Speaker 1 (58:43):
No, Pete, I mean it just wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (58:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
And the thing is, people have asked, but don't
they stink?
Speaker 2 (58:49):
No, they don't stink, they do not sweat.
And she was.
Speaker 1 (58:51):
They don't stink, they don't sweat their poop
don't stink, they don't sweat,their poop don't stink and their
pee don't stink and she waslitter box trained, so that part
was good, she could poop rightnext to you and you never knew
it.
Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, it wasn't like a dog, it wasn't like definitely
not like a cat and as long asyou keep the litter box clean,
you know, if you let it sitthere long enough, the pee's
going to smell, but notinitially.
It wasn't bad and she wastrained she would go to the
closet.
Speaker 1 (59:23):
I never knew of her having an accident.
No, she's better than thesedogs.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
Yeah, she was she was good, so that's the only thing
there's.
Just, you know you can't boarda pig, so you got to have
someone come check on her.
So that's the only things thatkeeps me from getting another
one.
All right, anything else, I'mready to pull this baby over.
We got some work to do.
Like always, are you done?
Speaker 1 (59:52):
She made some good bacon.
Speaker 2 (59:54):
No, she did not.
That is me.
I can't even believe You're anass.
Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
No, I love that.
I couldn't have eaten thatbacon, poor Ruby.
Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
It's a sweet thing.

I am really excited and itlooks like the weather is
supposed to be very nice, good,so we're excited about that no
hurricanes.
Oh, y'all know last year was adisaster.
It was a shit show it was, butit turned out great in the end.
(01:29):
Yeah, in the end, for thedinner and the dahlias, what
you've been up to.
The other day I went to, youknow, our friend central.
This is zion.
Well, that's her name anymore.
But central.
I don't know what her name ison Instagram anymore.
Catherine, her name's Central,yeah, but I don't know her
Instagram handle anymore becauseshe updated it.
(01:50):
Yeah, maybe I don't know, I'llhave to look it up.
But anyway, her and somefriends opened a store against
the grain and then they alsohave a little plant shop.
They did this whole meal thing.
So I went over there and sawthem the other day.
They'd ordered some stuffwholesale from us, so I dropped
that off.
But when I was there, walked inand there the Pickens girls were
(02:16):
there, the ones that you'venever met, the ones that I told
you I saw at the outlet storethe last time.
Oh, I haven't met them, youhaven't met them.
But I thought how funny is that?
Because I mean, it's not likeI'm at Central Store, I mean
that was my second time goingthere since they've been open
and I walked in and then therethey were, and then so I had
(02:36):
just gotten there and I did, Idid talk to him.
I mean I said hey, or whatever.
But I'm also giving him a shoutout, because then, when I was
on my way home, I was like, oh,I hope I gave them enough time.
Like you know, I was justgetting there and I was like, oh
, hey, how's it going?
And then I was, I don't know,got interrupted or something.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
But anyway, hey, girls, hey yes, I used to get
off the school bus there whereat the roller mill, at the
roller mill.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So if you're in the upstate you need to go on over
to central south carolina and goto the roller mill and check
out their um setup there.
They have on I don't knowexactly what days I think
thursday, friday, saturday,maybe wednesday, I don't know.
They have a food truck.
That's there those three days.
I mean they're open seven daysa week.
(03:18):
Then they have like a tap truck, that's there.
They have their plant shop, abakery um and their little like
merkin not little that's amercantile store there, um.
So it's a whole little littlesetup.
If you, if you over there inthe area, go check them out for
sure we need to have them on and, like um, ask them all about
(03:43):
business stuff and what they'vedone so far.
I I walked in and I was there.
It's like I'm here for yourgraded visit and I'm inspecting.
So no, it was fun.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I even bought a little plant how funny is that I
need to go down there you do?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
they've been asking, I was like he's a coming.
He's a coming, it's it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You know when it's, you know when you go.
How can I word this correctly?
I just have to be in the rightframe of mind all the way around
to go like backtrack into myhistory, into your past.
Yeah, does it.
You know like you are when yougo to Covington, because you get
it in your head, not that youdon't.
I love it, I love it, you loveit, we all love it but it's like
(04:28):
you.
You really I don't, I don'tknow how to pass trauma or
something, I guess I guess, Iguess I'm not like that you are
you are like that.
You are like that, You're justsaying that because your family
listens.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah you are like that, you're like I'm going home
.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
No, it is something, I'm being serious, it's
something not a bad thing, it'snot like oh, I hate going there,
it's not bad at all yeah, it islike you have to be Well in my
mindset.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm like that to go anywhere, I mean, unless it's to
the beach, Even that sometimes.
I mean I love going to ourbeach cottage, I love it and
that's when we go, and we'lleven stay there for two weeks.
But the build-up for me toleave to go anywhere is tough.
These days.
Well, yeah, you know, becausethere's so much prep and stuff
(05:28):
like that and it's like ugh.
But then when I get there, youknow love it.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
It's like God I got to bathe, I got to brush my butt
, I got to brush my teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's just all this stuff, all this stuff.
I know that you got to do so.
Yes, so Dinner in the Dahliasis coming up this week.
I think there might be like oneticket or two tickets left to
the October day, whatever daythat is.
(06:00):
Oh, I thought it was sold out,I think.
Well, I guess I should lookbefore I say that October 4th.
Well, see, here's the thing.
Daniel kept adding tickets,basically.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Here's the thing I just told someone we were sold
out.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Let me look on his website and see if it's sold out
and you get on here and saythat, well, I don't know now
that I say it.
So what happened is Daniel hadin his mind that he wanted it at
like 75 people max.
And I was like well, last yearwe had like 90 something.
We originally had like 130 lastyear, but then the hurricane,
(06:42):
so some people couldn't make itbecause they were coming from
out of town, and so we had like90 something people last year.
And he's like I'm just going,which was great.
But I don't know why in hismind he even from last year, I
think next year I'm just goingto do 75 and we're going to do
two dinners and I was like okay,that's what, whatever you want
(07:02):
to do.
Well then, you know, when thetickets sold out, he kept adding
and people kept saying like, oh, I need the September date, not
the October date, sort of thing.
Well, with the rentals theykind of just to take advantage,
you need to match them up.
You know, like if you add 10extra people on in September,
(07:24):
you need to add 10 extra ticketsin october because we're
already renting the things.
So then we ended up with, Ithink, when he finally um, yeah,
there's, there's a couple oftickets.
I can't tell how many, but Ithink there's only two left.
If someone wants to come lastminute local um, so that upped
(07:44):
the number in the October one.
So we have like 90-somethingpeople to come into each dinner
and Stephen has to come to bothof them.
He's like I'm coming out thereto dinner twice.
I'm like, yes, you are, we gotlots of people coming from out
(08:05):
of town.
Lots of our friends, some thatlisten here.
No Brooks coming from.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
New York, new York.
Yeah, I'm looking forward toseeing them.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I need to add name tags to our list of things we
need, because I don't think wedid that last year.
We need name tags and wherethey're from.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'm going to put a name.
I we need name tags and wherethey're from.
I'm going to put a name.
I'm changing my name.
What is your name?
I haven't decided, but I'mgoing to put a name and where
I'm from and that's going to bemy personality for the night.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh Lord, lord, Wanda, we're going to call you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):

I mean, I don't know where I'mgoing to be from.
Okay, wanda.
Speaker 2 (08:46):

Speaker 2 (08:49):

Wanda from Pickens, that'swhere you're going to be from.
So I was scrolling throughsocial media I think this one
was on TikTok and I saw this guypop up and he was telling me
phrases that we say wrong, andthere were a couple you say a
lot wrong.
I say a whole lot wrong.
(09:10):
You know this is pretty much anongoing situation.
We know that.
Speaker 1 (09:17):

I thought you were saying pike,yeah, I don't remember, but
coming down the pike it's pikelike the trail.
Speaker 2 (09:51):

the pipe.
Here comes the water, herecomes the shit.

Huh, I never heard of that.
(13:45):
Well, that was a fun news,that's it.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It was three of them.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I could have gotten more but I was like those were
three that I didn't, becauseeveryone calls it hunger pains,
it's not chomping at the bit.
But then Card Sharp reallysurprised me.
I need to look up.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Hollywood Pyramid.
We're going to start doing this.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh gosh, I don't think right now is the time to

Is it Hollywood Pyramid?
I may be saying that wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:20):

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean they're out there, oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, I mean, how come we don't know about Wife
Appreciation Day?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I mean that could be like Mother's Day.
We could make a lot of moneyoff that.
We need to start promoting that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
We need to promote that In right here in October.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, it wouldn't be, or September, because it's a
man's shopping holiday.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Oh yeah, because the women aren't going to come in
and buy that.
See Mother's Day.
The women come in and buy fortheir mothers, the husband's
mothers, the grandmother.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We need mother-in-law appreciate, but that don't work
either, because they don't liketheir mother-in-law.
No, I can't do mother-in-law,nobody likes their mother-in-law
.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
I mean a lot of people do sorry, terry.
Terry, I love you.
You just work that in wheneveryou can.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I thought it was funny I thought it was funny.
Terry, I thought it was funny.
Terry's going to throw me downin the dirt.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I think, this weekend , because they're coming to this
one and then my mom's coming tothe next one and then, like we
said, we have people coming fromout of town.
I think we should break out themicrophone and record people
for a podcast segment and wecould interview.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You could interview Terry and say Terry, when did
you know that Wesley really didnot care for you?
Was it early on or was it more?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Terry knows that's a lie.
That is a lie.
Oh goodness, you try to get meinto trouble.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
No, I mean you do you like Terry and I like Dylan's
mom?
I mean I kind of I just saywhatever.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I probably offend her a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
I was going to say you offend most people.
But somehow you do it in a waythat they're not offended.
You offend them without thembeing offended.
I don't know how you get awaywith it.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You do it and laugh or something, and people, just
play it off you know arestaurant owner in downtown
Greenville just told me thatthis past weekend what.
That I have an art for tellingsomebody to F off and they don't
even know what hit them.
Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It is an art that you don't even realize you're doing
and you have a way with sayingvery what would probably offend
people or be inappropriate.
You have a way of saying it andpeople aren't offended, but if
other people said it to them,they would be offended.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, when I had McDonald's, that's what my
cashiers and stuff would alwayssay they would say if I said
that to that customer, we wouldhave gotten 800 complaints.
Right, you say it and theylaugh, right, but you know what
would drive me crazy?
Okay, y'all listen.
This is important.
This is a PSA, this is not forMcDonald's, this is for anywhere
(18:08):
.
Oh God, step on up.
Get your money ready.
Get your car ready.
Get your money ready.
Get your car ready.
Get your app ready.
Don't be one of those.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I know I really try to do that and sometimes I'll go
through like Starbucks with theapp or whatever and I'll get to
the window.
I've been in line for fiveminutes, that's the problem, and
I don't have my app ready.
I'm like I know you get so damntired of waiting on people
pulling out this app andwhatever.
But sometimes ADD people I meanit'd be different if I had cash
(18:41):
, because I would just have thatsitting there.
But with an app like aStarbucks app, for example, I
pull around, there's three carsin front of me.
Well, by the time I've donescroll TikTok for 10 minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I will say this.
I will say this.
I will say this about starbucksapp.
Sometimes it's shitty and youtry to be ready and and it won't
let you right.
I tell them when I get up thereI try to be ready, but this
piece of shit won't let me rightand they laugh and they're like
we get it.
Yeah, like I.
I don't mean to hold youdrive-thru up.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And so what I'll do is I'll open up my app, I'll hit
scan or whatever, so it's there, and then I'll just go to
another app.
Well, it has cleaned out, shutdown, restart.
Might as well write them acheck at this point.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You got to start all over again.
It's just.
But yeah, people would get upand it would drive.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You're like you've been in.
You've been because you gotthat.
You know that timer countingdown.
You're like you've been in linefor two minutes and you didn't
have your money, or?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
you just realized your damn purse was in the trunk
of your car and you got to parkand get out.
Like it's a whole thing, likeI've had crazy women get out of
their car to dig their purse outof the trunk.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well, why are they going to be crazy?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And then, the car just go rolling and hit the curb
.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh, they left it in drive and everything.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, just screw the whole thing up.
I've had them digging in theirpurse and just drive right into
the building.
I mean, come in.
If you're like that, go inside.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Not to be Debbie Downer, but didn't you have
someone die in the drive-thru,die in the drive-thru.
Didn't someone like die in thedrive-thru or have a heart
attack or something.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No, she was on drugs.
Well, it was kind of sad shehad gotten out of the hospital
and, which was crazy, herhusband let her drive home um
was he in the car?
With no she was on some kind ofvery strong medication.
(20:48):
She went through the speakerand then she swung way out.
This was at moonville, right,this one right here and then,
all of a sudden, I was in theoffice.
I didn't see any of it, butthen the whole building shook
she crashed into it crashed intothe building, yeah, and I was
(21:08):
like what in the hell?
and she was like it was.
She was like a drunk person.
I thought she was drunk and Iwas like call 911.
And come to find out.
The police got there, Everybodygot there, had to call her
husband and I felt bad for her.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I'm like, so she was on like prescription drug.
Like, not a drug, she was anice lady.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean she was just out of it, but yeah, I've had
everything happen.
And then I had a one girl.
She meant to press the brakeand she hit the accelerator and
literally drove her lexus intothe dining room.
And somebody I watched thecamera.
(21:53):
This is not funny, but I meanthe god was watching out for
this man at the.
He was sitting at the boothwith his back to the wall and
this lexus comes crashingthrough, you know, and it wasn't
slow.
I mean, this is pretty fast, doyou know?
(22:13):
He managed to stand up and runwith it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
And did not get hurt.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I mean, if that had been me, he would have fumbled
right out of the booth and beenunder the car.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I would have been.
Under the car, I'd have beenchanging the oil for sure.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And I watched it.
I mean I was so impressedbecause most, let me tell you,
most people would have been inthe floor, call 9-1-1.
I'm hurt, you know, get to getsome money.
And he, he just went with it.
He was like I'm good I watchedon camera and I was like that's
just that's unbelievable, thatis crazy unbelievable.
(22:53):
Yeah, so you know, don't dig inyour damn pocketbook so get
your money ready, is what yousay yeah, get your money ready.
Get your card ready, pay for,use a card to in a drive-thru.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It's so much easier the only reason I use the
starbucks app is because theycan't ask you for a tip because
if you get, points, the points.
You know that's a whole, nother.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
But they cut that down.
Hell, you have to go there 58times to did they fire their um
person again, the new one?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I don't know, I don't know they're, they're, they've
screwed that up.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You've got to go go there.
You've got to spend like$10,000 to get a cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, see they get you hooked in collecting those
points.
That's what I'm going to do toour customers.
You know we have our pointsystem for oh they can't figure
that out.
I made it as simple as I can.
How do you do that I can, andthey still can't figure it out,
and I just ain't worried aboutit, but I might start making it
(23:57):
more and more points.
I know Stephen was so excitedbecause he is such a point
person.
It is simplified now.
If you shop at the Nested Figon the app or website, once you
do the initial three things, youget bonus points in your
birthday.
But then you get a point perlike dollar or something, and
you just collect them and,however many it is, gets you ten
(24:19):
dollars off.
It's simple now, but and itwas- I do.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I get so excited.
Dylan and I were flying to wait.
Where were we flying to?
Oh, we were flying to key westand um, we were checking in at
the counter and she said, oh,American Express, they have a
new American Express.
It's the I don't know which oneit is.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh, I'm sure you signed up for it because you get
an extra point.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's this purple card .
I don't know what it is Apurple card?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Oh, it's purple.
This is a Delta SkyMiles card.
Yeah, we're getting into allthe lounges.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You spend $6,000 and you get 100,000 miles plus a
free first class ticket.
I was like hell yes.
And Dylan was like what are youdoing?
We do not need another.
I said, we need another card, Ineed those points, I need that
(25:32):
ticket.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Can I just have that card?
I'll get need those points.
I need that ticket.
Can I just have that card?
No, I'll get you some points.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I will have you so many points on there and they
all know members since 1991.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'll get you so many points on there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I'm good, everybody can go first class.
I'm with you First class, butno, I got the points and but
then they kind of get youbecause you're like now I gotta
spend six thousand dollars youknow, the whole thing is set up
to kind of get you oh, I know,and I had told you fall for
(26:08):
points and like you are gettingsomething free, free, free and I
told dylan he saw, but you gotto spend $6,000.
I said it's fine, I'll putsomething for the business on my
card and pay me back.
Yeah, and I'll get the points.
It didn't work that way.
I just said I'll just buy this.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Oh my God, but I got the points and I got a plane
ticket.
But yeah, where are you going?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I don't know Dylan's going to be sitting back in
coach.
He'll be in coach.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
He'll be traveling like my pet dog.
I'm going to have him in a dogcarrier and you're going to be
up in first class.
He would probably throw me fromthe airplane.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I would.
That is something you wouldprobably do, though.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, it is not, but first class is more important.
For me, though, and you.
We have long legs, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Bunched up back there in the back.
It's rough these days.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I wouldn't be able to walk for three weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I know, I mean that's the truth.
I haven't been able to walk.
My back has been I haven't beenable to walk for three weeks.
I know, I mean, that's thetruth.
I haven't been able to walk forit.
My back has been on the edgefor three weeks.
Speaker 1 (27:18):

Speaker 1 (27:51):
No, I'm in my early 50s, You're mid 40s.
In my early 50s, you're mid-40s.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I am mid-40s.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm still early 50s, it's okay, I look good.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
It's better than Alternative it's true.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I will say I think I talked to you about this.
I heard a thing last year.
I heard it several times and Iwas say I think I talked to you
about this.
I heard a thing like last year.
I heard it several times and Iwas like whatever it could have
been an ad, I don't know where Iheard it, but it says that your
body rapidly ages two times inyour life and it's 44 and then
(28:31):
60, something Like they'vestudied and it like kind of
you're aging.
I will say this year at 44, andI'm not saying I feel bad or
anything, but I definitely feeland feel like I look older than
I did you do.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
No, no, no, not in a bad way, but you've gone through
the next.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I've already gone through them, right, and you do
that same thing, like I feel,like for men, when you get into
we were talking about it theother day from someone who
hadn't seen me in a long time,but like from your.
You know your early 30s 29, 30,I feel like in your mid 30s,
like 35, 36, you go through andyou don't look like that college
(29:24):
still kind of baby face usefullook you kind of.
There's like a period in therewhere you kind of age and now I
feel like at at 44, I feel likemy neck looks and it's not.
Listen, it's not bad, I'm not.
I'm not saying anything aboutmy look, but it's different than
it was two years ago, like it'sa little looser.
(29:45):
You get that angle it was badtwo years ago, any angle when
you're over 40 or like 30s, butit just looks, I don't know,
different.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, it does, and you know, you know that's.
The question I have is like atwhat point do I fix it like I'm
not?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
do I keep mine I am.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm, I'm going to fix mine, but I'm going and listen.
I I'm not one of those people.
I'm not gonna lie about it, I'mnot gonna hide it right, I'm
not one of those people.
I'm not going to lie about it,I'm not going to hide it.
I'm not going to do any of that.
I'm going to put it out there.
Hell yes, I got a facelift andit's the way it is.
But I'm going to do the lower.
I'm going to do the deepplaning and lower facelift.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
But I just don't know .
You're not going to be able tolie anyway, because your fair
skin and your scarring, you'regoing to look like you have a
mask on because it's going tolook like you've got a line all
the way around your face.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well, it'll be right here.
It'll be in my ears and I don'tknow what you won't see your
ears, so it's fine.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I would rather have a scar around my ears than um,
but you know, but I feel likethis year is the first year like
there is a difference, like, oh, not just up until this point.
I feel like I can look atpictures and go, oh yeah, you
look older, yeah, you look older.
Like there hasn't been a changewhatever.
But like this year, I feel likeit wrapped, like it like I read
(31:18):
last year, like there's a rapidchange where it's all of a
sudden like a difference.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Yeah, you've just kind of drawn up.
You're such an asshole no, Imean age.
Aging happens and I'm thankfulto age.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Only thing I want to do.
I mean, I'm not saying I wouldnever have a facelift or stuff
done.
You know I get Botox, whateverbut I do want I think I'm going
to do it in January I want sometype of face like I don't know
what yet I haven't talked toanybody Peel or laser or
something, laser or you know Ishould have listened to my
(31:57):
mother.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
My mother was religious about having, uh,
chemical pills, yeah.
And when I turned 30 she saidthen you need to start getting a
pill once a year at 30, yeah,and I would not do it.
So I actually went for a consultlast year about getting a
facelift and she said you're notready yet, you don't have
(32:20):
enough, you don't have enoughsagging bag yet, but you're
pre-facelift.
So, um, and I probably willstart this in January.
We're going to, I'm going toget my face lasered so it will
clean up my face and andhopefully build some collagen
back before my face.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I want to do something like that, Just cause
I have a couple of spots thatare like sunspots.
You know, I worked outside mywhole twenties with no sunscreen
.
Ever anything Wasn't worriedabout it then.
So I just want a little bit ofthat cleaned up, if it's
possible.
Shut your ass.
He is over here looking at meand trying not to take the road.
(33:03):
There's so many funny things Icould say there are.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to be mean likeyou are.
I'm not mean.
No, it was funny because whatyou were referring to is one of
a McDonald's owner that you metyears ago.
He watched one of our livesales and he said God, wesley
(33:28):
has aged.
And I said and I was like, no,he hasn't.
And then I added it up and ithad been like 10 years, it had
been 10 or 11 years since he'dseen me and there's been a lot
of stress, a lot of employees,but you think about that that's
a long time.
(33:48):
And I told him.
I said, well, you know, it'sbeen over 10 years, I guess he
has.
Yeah, and he laughed.
He was like from the last timehe doesn't look bad, but it's
just Right from the last time hesaw me Because you wouldn't
have had gray hair.
No, and in all fairness, thelast time you saw him he was in
his 60s and he's almost 80 now.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, so he's aged Right Like he's almost 80 now.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, so he's aged Right.
Like you would be like.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Ooh, you know, he still looks great for his age,
so I'm not talking bad but Ineed to go back and try to find
some photos of you early onbecause I don't feel like you've
aged that much, but I know youhave really in the last couple
(34:33):
of years.

yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I'm going to have really wrinkly skin when I get
older.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
You either.
I think you either do or youdon't.
One of my grandmothers, mydad's's mother.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
She had the most wrinkly skin I've ever seen,

You had them on yesterday andwe were talking about it not
just you and I, because we wereat the warehouse but I was like
I need some that start rightabove the knee, like that suck
(38:02):
in my thunder thighs andsaddlebags they make that and
then have a little padding inthe back.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And you can get the rounder bum with padding in the
front for you.
I don't need that.
I'm okay there, thankfully, butum, yeah, I said god, that
would be like if you had toorder it for your ass and your
front.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
What just don't you.
You're in bad shape.
Yeah, I mean, if there's onething I mean, I'd rather have to
order it for the back side thanthe front side, so I'm thankful
.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I've even had straightguys touch my ass because
they're like, I'm like it's fake.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I need to look them up, because I haven't looked
them up yet, but I'm going toneed some, because I haven't
looked them up yet, but I'mgoing to need some.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I mean, if you see me out, just check out my ass, and
it is not one of our reps.
Thought I had been doing squatsand I laughed.
I said that's cute and I waslike no, phil he was like oh my

He was like that is really yourunder.
I said, it's my underwear.
That is really your under.
I said it's my underwear.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Can you make sure you have these on for the dinner
and the dahlias?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I'm going to wear Daisy Dukes.
With my rounder bum it is goingto look like I got a
badonkadonk.
Okay, you do that.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Now, do all of their things have um, you're a medium,
no, but do all of their thingshave the padded?
Oh, some of them are buttlifting, dylan has?
Speaker 1 (39:42):
dylan has an ass like a caboose, he's got a dump
truck, so he got a lift.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Okay, but some are lifting and some are padded.
I'm looking at at this.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, if you lifted mine, my legs would be.
I would be walking on my knees.
There is nothing to lift, so Ijust did the padded.
I need to order more.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
When you do padded, I need to click on one.
Can you get different levels ofpadding?
No, or is?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
it, just one, not to my knowledge.
Okay, they're not a bad price.
They're not hot.
See, I've had that comment.
Are they hot?
Do they feel hot, sweaty?
Your butt does not sweat.
They do not feel hot.
They do not feel any differentthan any of my other panties you
(40:36):
have trunks.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
What do you have?
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I did briefs.
I like the trunks.
Well, I mean, you should getwhat you normally wear, excuse
me so you'll be more comfortable, mm-hmm.
Okay, and I'm a brief boy, so Igot briefs and I think they sit
.
I like the briefs because Ithink they sit really nicely.
(40:59):
Okay, and even I've had womeninquire about it.
They do not make it for women,which is crazy.
Rounder bum, come on.
You got to make it for theladies too.
But if you're a lady that'slacking some ass, you should try
the briefs and get them in,like in the small or medium,
(41:22):
however size you are, and seehow they fit Okay.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
I'm going to get some and we're going to see about
this.
What else do they have Clothing?
I will say they do fill it outand make things 's like a padded
bra there's no different.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
And it's such a small pad, like it doesn't.
I was like I hope.
I was like this shit ain'tgonna work this ain't enough.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Well, it's probably the shape, the cut, and where.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's just that little bit.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
So when you're sitting, you have them on today?
Mm-hmm, when you're sittinghere, does it feel like you're
sitting on anything?
Mm-mm, Okay, mm-mm.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
No, it doesn't do anything.
It doesn't even.
It doesn't even mute your farts, None of it.
It's just like regular.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
They have shapewear.
I need that too.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I'm going to order that too.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Slim, fit and lift boxer.
I'm going to have to sign off.
We're going to have to wrapthis up.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
You're going to get a girdle like my great
grandmother, my greatgrandmother, my great
grandmother.
Her name was Ludi Uh-huh.
I'm named after her.
Her name was Ludi Stevens andlet me tell you, honey, you did
not catch her at the churchhouse without her girdle on.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I wonder if, like one of these light compression tank
.
I can't stand the feel of atank top, though they I don't do
well with compression.
I bought um what is that stuff?
Speaker 1 (43:08):
What's that stuff that everybody wears?
Spanx, spanx.
I bought the Spanx for men, um,mainly for, like, uh, when I
wear suits.
I just wanted my shirts to looksuper neat.
They hurt my back.
I don't know why it always Ihave severe lower back pain with
(43:30):
it.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I need something posture correcting, but I want
it.
Surely there's something like at-shirt level, not something I
told you.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
I watched that where I there's something like a
t-shirt level, not something Itold you.
I watched that where I couldhit you with a 2x4 in the back
and that fixes it.
It was videos.
They screamed it hurt, but theysaid it fixed it.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
No, they did not.
That is a lie.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
They would whack it and go.
They'd go.
They were fixed.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
I need something that just pulls it back a little bit
.
Just a little bit pulls it back.
You know they have things liketech, things like you can put on
your back and then it vibrateswhen you're slouching.
I'm like the battery would bedead.
It'd be like oh okay, let mepull it back.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
I tried to sit up.
That was one of my mom's petpeeves.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
She would always say sit up, sit up straight sit up
straight.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
We don't slouch at the table.
Well, you don't, but I do.
I think I probably sit there.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
That's probably one time I got hit in the mouth.
Probably Do you have anythingelse for us today.
Did you bring anything to thetable?
Any stories you got, anysouthernisms?
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I'm about to pull this baby over.
Well, you need to calm yourselfdown.
Well then, you need to get inhere.
I do have.
Drive us on home A southernism.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Do tell um so I messaged.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
I messaged family and I said what is something um?
I think here, what I said um,what are some crazy redneck
southern sayings or something wedid growing up?
Just, I needed a differentperspective.
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yeah, do tell.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Well, I think we talked about this already.
Finer than frog hair.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
We did.
Yeah, that's what they do, andStephen uses that one all the
time.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
I do say finer than frog hair Someone had emailed.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Hold on before, because I just saw this today
and actually shout out Sherry,sherry Knoll.
She sent us the nicest email tothe warehouse, because, you
know, usually it's peoplebitching, complaining about
something we did wrong, we puttheir tape on crooked or
something I don't know.
I'm just kidding, we actuallyhave good customers.
(45:58):
But she sent a verycomplimentary email about how
she's been ordering for a whileand everything's good all the
way.
I know that Wes and Steven arethe faces voice of the Nested
Fig family, but how good we areat hiring good workers all the
way to the packers anyway inhere.
(46:19):
She was wrapping up, though,and said, um, wish I was a spit
away.
She said there's a southernismfor you spit away, I heard that
a spit away.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
So it's close spit away.
So one thing she texted me backand she said you haven't talked
about.
That I haven't talked about onthe podcast is chickens, and
we've talked about chickens,chicken shit.
I don't know if we.
(46:53):
She asked if if I ever talkedabout how we had to kill the
chickens.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
No, I guess that was minor.
In your butchering daydepartment you talked about hogs
, but I don't think you talkedabout butchering chickens.
Before I went vegetarian, I wasthinking about raising chickens
and butchering them and then Iwas like well, I could raise
them and take them to getbutchered, but that's hard to
find we talked about that youand I talked about that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
That way it would be better quality.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Right, that's my thing with meat is not eating
meat.
Although I have to say, afterhaving you know Ruby the pig, I
don't know that I can eat porkever again, but chicken I mean,
I don't know that I can eat porkever again, but chicken I mean
I don't have a problem.
Eating meat is my point for theanimal point I just there's so
(47:44):
much crap in the meat that youbuy.
But anyway, that's here, northere.
Anyway, go ahead.
Yeah, we used to have chickens.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
We had egg-laying chickens.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
And we had dinner chickens.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
So dinner chickens, you know you didn't get attached
to.
They were never as pretty,anyway, they were all about
fattening them up.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
And you know how we.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
I'm very weak, like.
I don't like blood, I don'tlike gross, I don't like any of
that.
Why am I that way?
Because I grew up.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Well see, when you were a kid, you didn't know any
different.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
It was like the Texas chainsaw massacre, where, when
I grew up and now I would be.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
But see, you didn't know any different.
That's what you were used tothen.
And then you grew up and youstep back and you were like what
the hell were we doing?
You know, step back and youwere like what the hell were we
doing?
You know, it's like how we usedto run around the yard and look
for snakes and well we wouldring their heads off.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
You would just grab one and ring you just grab it
and do it like that and then thebody would go flying off and
then it would run around for afew couple minutes, and then it
would just fall over.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
That is that is so bad.
I mean it's not, I mean it'swhatever, but I'm just like I
cannot imagine doing that Icouldn't do it now.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
Yeah, I mean, I guess if I were on an island and I
was starving, yeah, I could doit.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
I would not but that's where the saying running
around like a chicken with itshead cut off.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
It literally runs around.
Just it doesn't make a noisebecause it doesn't, oh my God,
but it does.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
That is so.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
If our listeners are out there, they've probably
they've experienced that ifthey've had chickens, no they
probably haven't, and not thatmany people have chickens.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Do you know how disconnected the world is from
their food at this point?
Like people would ask me likewe had chickens even when we
lived in the city.
Well, how do you get eggs ifyou don't have a rooster?
Well, honey, the egg's not thebaby, it's an egg.
You know how you have an egg ifyou're a woman.
Your chickens have eggs, it hasto have a rooster to be
(50:05):
fertilized, that they have tosit on to have a chick.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
You have to sit on it or you have to put it in an
inkabaker.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
But there's still an egg that comes.
It should be inca baker.
I just can't imagine I can'timagine doing that.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Now, I mean, can you imagine if I said, if you were
like what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (50:28):
I'm like oh, I just killed three chickens I had a
mean chicken even here and I wasgonna kill it, and then I
couldn't do it.
I was like I'll just smack itreally hard.
You know, take a shovel andchop its head off.
I couldn't bring myself to doit, so I just threw it outside.
Speaker 1 (50:43):
The chicken can't let a fox, yeah, and I was like
something to get you in a fewdays, you little asshole.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
He was mean just.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
I don't like those mean ones that flog.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
Our neighbor downtown .
This is funny downtown we livedin a cute little bungalow so
cute, the lot was literally apostage stamp and we had a
neighbor next door to us andtheirs was the same way and we
had chickens and she hadchickens or whatever.
We had bees.
We probably I don't know I hada mini farm right there, but she
(51:16):
was.
And you were, literally yourbackyard backed up to a four
lane interstate, yeah, so anyway, and she did the same thing and
we had our garden, she had hergarden, but she had a rooster
like a chicken and it ended upbeing a rooster and I think it
ended up being mean too, becausewe didn't mind the roosters or
whatever.
And she said that she went outthere and she was going to
(51:40):
butcher the chicken or whatever.
She was laughing.
So she was like you know, Iguess she's maybe done it before
, I don't know, but she's like Iwas going to butcher this
chicken.
And so she said she grabbed itup and she was like you know,
she still had to talk herselfinto it Like OK, I can do this.
(52:02):
And she said so she finally didit and she went to chop its head
off in her whatever.
She was chopping it off withhatchet or whatever.
It was dull and it just bouncedoff the chicken's neck after
talking to talking herself intodoing it.
It just bounced off and thechicken just squawked, and
herself into doing it.
It just bounced off and thechicken just squawked and she
said she just let it go.
And she was like I can't dothis there.
(52:25):
Um, I was like that's whatwould happen to me.
I would get the car okay, I'mgonna do it and then go to kill
it and it just bounced right offits neck seems like I remember
that happening to me too.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
I just don't know how I?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:42):
How in the hell have we driven down this path to
talking about butchering?
Speaker 1 (52:46):
chickens.
Well, I reached out to a familymember and that's what I got.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
That's what they were telling you.
Speaker 1 (52:53):
That's what I got.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
I mean, I had chickens and stuff growing up.
We never butchered any of themor anything.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
In later years.
No, I mean I had pigeons.
I have had every pet.
I have had rabbits in the house, I've had pigeons.
I've had cockatiels, Cockatoos,I've had finches.
I've had pigeons.
I've had cockatiels, cockatoos,I've had finches.
I've had a pet goat.
(53:21):
I think I've had every pet.
The only thing I have not hadis like a raccoon.
I never had any like major wild.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
I would love a raccoon, like a baby.
You know, I had this squirrel.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I know they're so cute, but you would have to get
it as a baby, right, as araccoon, like a baby.
You know, I had this squirrel.
They're really cute.
I know they're so cute, but youwould have to get it as a baby,
right, as a baby baby, I know,but that's one I've never had.
Speaker 2 (53:45):
You know, I've had squirrel two now.
Speaker 1 (53:48):
I've never.
I never had a squirrel, butsomebody when we used to camp
and somebody at the campgroundhad a pet squirrel and I was
just absolutely in love with it.
But my grandparents were likeyou ain't having no squirrel.
I'm nasty that is funny.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
I love my wife.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
They're not nasty if they're in the house.
No.
I need, you need anothersquirrel, I know that would I
need.
Speaker 2 (54:18):
You need another squirrel, I know that would be
fun and I need another pig, acute little pig that was.
I'll get back around to thatone day, but I want it I'll do.
I will do it a little bitdifferent.
In the training department, Imean, ruby was great, but you
know, ruby lived in our closets,our master closet, but that
wasn't bad, was it?
It wasn't bad.
(54:40):
The only thing, the only reasonit was bad, is because they are
very like.
That was her home, so she wastrained to go to our closet.
She would stay in there,whatever, anything like that.
But then if she went in there,like in the morning, she wanted
out of the closet.
So you had like she was readyto go out of the closet.
(55:00):
And if we went on trips orsomething like, we kind of had
to have someone come stay at thehouse Because she was used to
her closet, because she was usedto her closet.
So I would have.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
Great train them.
Speaker 2 (55:13):
Well, even that, or I would have like a little
outside area built for her wherethey go every day, like a cute
little shed barn, like off thepatio, that, but not that that
she could go to, like when we'regone or something, I don't know
.
That's the only thing.
The only thing I didn't.
(55:34):
We just don't have a good placein our house that separates,
because our whole bottom flooris open.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
And if you have a pet pig, here's the thing Dylan's
sister had one Now we do have.
Speaker 2 (55:47):
How I've divided off the garage and finished what's
supposed to be our mudroom, Iguess she could, technically,
that could be her home now.
Yeah, and then she would be outof the house and could come
right in there.
That's what I would do now.
Speaker 1 (56:01):
So Dylan's sister got one Mm-hmm and his name was
Peanut Mm-hmm.
You have to be very, verydisciplined with pigs, because
they have no off switch oneating Right.
So you have to measure theirfood or they get obese.
Speaker 2 (56:20):
Right, and you have to have one that's genetically
going to be smaller.
Speaker 1 (56:24):
Mm-hmm, because if you keep feeding, feeding,
feeding, feeding, that thingain't going to be small Mm-mm.
Speaker 2 (56:32):
Mm-mm, it's going to be big.
See I could do it in the garagenow or the mud room, Cause I
could set up even under, Daniel,if you're listening.
No, but you know, like underthe staircase that could be a
little pig.
I could clean out that closet,put a little, um, cute little,
what do you call it?
Dutch door in there.
Speaker 1 (56:53):
I loved Ruby and she was so, so smart.
I loved Ruby and she was so, sosmart.
I mean, that's the only petI've ever agreed to pet sit.
Speaker 2 (57:04):
But she was so smart.
Very smart.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
But you know she would wake up and if she was in
a bitch mood, you knew it.
She was like bitchy yeah.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
She would have bitchy .
Speaker 1 (57:17):
Yeah, she would have an attitude and then sometimes
Because I would call you earlierin the day and you'd be like
she's awful today she's in abitch mood.
And so the week before she diedI was pig sitting and I came
(57:39):
out here and I guess she waspissed that you had left.
And I came in and she was awfulto me.
She was so hateful and Ithought you know, heifer, I'm
leaving.
She would not have anything todo with me.
(58:00):
So hateful and I thought youknow, heifer, I'm leaving.
She would not have anything todo with me, which it wasn't
normal, yeah.
So I was like have at it,sister, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (58:07):
I mean, and I'm having all these conversations
with her.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
And so then I came back the next day and I guess
she had cooled down and shecouldn't have been down Mm-hmm,
and she couldn't have beensweeter, couldn't get enough of
you yeah, she was just, and I'mlike well, you like me now how
the attitude has changed.
Yeah but no, I mean, they'resmarter than dogs, I mean they
(58:34):
really are.
Speaker 2 (58:35):
Maybe one day I'll get another one, but see also
then going to Florida for twoweeks.
We can't take a pig to theFlorida cottage.
Speaker 1 (58:43):
No, Pete, I mean it just wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (58:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (58:47):
And the thing is, people have asked, but don't
they stink?
Speaker 2 (58:49):
No, they don't stink, they do not sweat.
And she was.
Speaker 1 (58:51):
They don't stink, they don't sweat their poop
don't stink, they don't sweat,their poop don't stink and their
pee don't stink and she waslitter box trained, so that part
was good, she could poop rightnext to you and you never knew
it.
Speaker 2 (59:05):
Yeah, it wasn't like a dog, it wasn't like definitely
not like a cat and as long asyou keep the litter box clean,
you know, if you let it sitthere long enough, the pee's
going to smell, but notinitially.
It wasn't bad and she wastrained she would go to the
closet.
Speaker 1 (59:23):
I never knew of her having an accident.
No, she's better than thesedogs.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
Yeah, she was she was good, so that's the only thing
there's.
Just, you know you can't boarda pig, so you got to have
someone come check on her.
So that's the only things thatkeeps me from getting another
one.
All right, anything else, I'mready to pull this baby over.
We got some work to do.
Like always, are you done?
Speaker 1 (59:52):
She made some good bacon.
Speaker 2 (59:54):
No, she did not.
That is me.
I can't even believe You're anass.
Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
No, I love that.
I couldn't have eaten thatbacon, poor Ruby.
Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
