Inappropriate Public Sightings and Home Tours
Speaker 1Hello, it's me.
Speaker 2Let's go through. It's time for another episode of who's Driving. Welcome to who's Driving. I'm Wesley Turner.
Speaker 1And I'm Stephen Merck. We're Two Best Friends and Entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2Who's Driving is an entertaining look into the behind the scenes of our lives, friendship and business.
Speaker 1These are the stories we share and topics we discuss, as Two Best Friends would on a long road trip.
Speaker 2On the way. We'll check in with friends and offer a wide range of informative topics centered around running small businesses, social media and all things homing art.
Speaker 1Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Speaker 2You never know who's driving or where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride, and on this week's episode we are going to get into discussing some inappropriate things that we see in the public.
Speaker 1That just stop doing yeah right, maybe not, maybe we don't understand it.
Speaker 2Yeah, maybe it's not inappropriate, maybe it isn't, we're not exactly sure.
Speaker 1Before we get there, though, because there's some inappropriateness, things that we like, right Maybe, so I don't know, maybe it's. There's another side to it, maybe a different perspective.
Speaker 2Maybe Before we get to that girl what you been doing. You been decorating.
Speaker 1I have been decorating.
Speaker 2Ho, ho ho.
Speaker 1Mo mo mo, and you know I love funny. You bring that up. I was just thinking about it when I drove here, because I saw your Christmas trash outside, uh-huh. I've been decorating too, I love living in a gated community, in a gated building 99% of the time. It really, truly works for us. Right, and that's the first versus a house, because that's the first building I've ever lived in um other than a house.
Speaker 2But hauling stuff in and out has got to be Lord Jesus.
Speaker 1I mean, you have to say a prayer when you pull it, when you pull in. Just, lord, help me get this stuff up and not just fall out. See, I couldn't do that. That's what's hard.
Speaker 2Especially as much as I'm decorating to show you know, for content on Instagram, to show what we have in stock at the nested pig, and all of that. But I had to haul. I mean, I dread it and I just have to haul it through the garage, through the garage.
Speaker 1That's the only I was thinking about. Why do what do I hate about this? I love the decorating Right. I love the creating. I don't mind pulling it at the warehouse, no.
Speaker 2I don't mind the dread getting it from the car in the house Upstairs. Yeah, and you got to go on the elevator.
Speaker 1It's just a whole ordeal. But you know there's always a positive side what we were just saying. So I drove up, I saw all your trash. I said well, now there's the positive. When I have trash, I have a dumpster Right out there. I just poop.
Speaker 2Yeah, but here's the thing. You still have to walk it all the way out to the dumpster. You're doing something like that. I just have to load it in the car and it's like literally like a half a mile from here. It probably takes me the same amount of time. And let's be honest, by me I mean, daniel, the same amount of time, let's be honest, I mean. I mean, I mean I walk it down, yeah.
Speaker 1But yeah, there's just pros and cons to having a house. But I could remember going shopping at my old house and you know I didn't have a big yard and my driveway was right there Well, and you had trash pickup. I had trash pickup. It was just. That was the nice part. But there again, I don't have to worry with the yard. It makes a difference?
Speaker 2It does. I mean, there's always, there's always pros and cons to everything.
Speaker 1And even you go to a clothes shop and it's like, whoa, keep my, there's too many pairs of shoes on this trip. That's funny.
Speaker 2So we're going to be doing home tours virtually in the nest-a-fig app scene. So if you're listening, you'll have to. If you don't have our app yet, search the nest-a-fig in your app store. You can get our app. That's our online store. If you don't know, we ship goodies all across the country, but you'll be able to see both of our homes there. We're going to do home tours. We've done that the last couple of years.
Speaker 1This would be third year. Yeah, so if I, may be laid up in a floor somewhere. If you are, just pan the camera over me and say he didn't make it, but here it is.
Speaker 2Remember the first year we did it in the nest-a-fig app. You weren't showing your face. We had this whole thing going on and you weren't showing your face on camera, so you literally had to climb around in the floor.
Speaker 1You were crawling around my house in the floor so you wouldn't see, that took so much more energy but it was so worth it because people got so invested in. I know who is that, who's that voice? And the funny thing, the biggest comment that I got after I showed myself is they were like oh, you're cute. We thought you must be ugly If you didn't want to show your face.
Speaker 1I know I was like oh my gosh, I guess they did think I would have thought I was ugly too. But you don't wake up next to me. Some days it's pretty rough.
Speaker 2Oh gosh, that's for everybody, though no one wakes up too pretty, but we started that. I think we've talked about that on the podcast, if you don't know. If you weren't around then, for two years, stephen and I he would be in my stories on Instagram, but I wouldn't show it showing, wouldn't show his face. He would be singing in the car, we would take road trips and that sort of thing. It started in 2020.
Speaker 1It took a lot of energy to do that.
Speaker 2It did. I mean we would be at market and I would do my normal stories and you would be right beside me and I'd be like stand over, like stand right here and no one can see you.
Speaker 1You know, we got to keep you, it got to being a problem.
Speaker 2Yeah, it got to be more work than it was fun, but it was a lot of fun because we wouldn't show your face and that just everyone was sucked in. We want to see him, just show him. Just show the side of him, show the back of him. When are you going to show it? We drug that on for two years, two years Then.
Speaker 1I remember when we decided to let the cat out of the bag and I'm the cat. It was such, you know, it was so funny, it was such an ordeal, but it was great, that was great, tom.
Speaker 2Okay, let's talk about some inappropriate things we've seen in public, or trends or what. Just wrong, or maybe they're not so wrong.
Speaker 1Well and see there's a lot of ladies listening out there that probably think gray sweatpants for men are just vulgar or inappropriate.
Speaker 2Personally, I can't, or do they like them?
Speaker 1Personally, I can't wait for them all to roll around.
Speaker 2Do you know about that? Maybe some ladies don't even know about this. Do you know that there's a gray sweatpants season that people look forward to because they see the man bulge. They can see the package. I don't know.
Speaker 1But I don't know. All I know is every October I go buy me some sweet potatoes. Oh my gosh.
Discussion on Leggings and Tennis Outfits
Speaker 2But I mean it only works on the right people, because you see some of them out and I'm like you shouldn't have those on. It's wrong, I'm not. So what made us think of this? I was on the phone, or maybe I called Stephen right after the other day. I had, in particularly, made a trip to the grocery store and I was like Lord you are not.
Speaker 1You're you here in the Piedmont area?
Speaker 2Yes, I was, you were, so it was probably.
Speaker 1I'm just gonna go ahead and tell you that person probably worked for me, but I know they used to be my customer because you know, on the McDonald's just right across the way.
Speaker 2But okay, we have uppity customers, or whatever you wanna say. However you wanna, is uppity a negative term?
Speaker 1More sophisticated.
Speaker 2Yeah, we have customers that should know better, that do the same thing. And I was in the grocery store and this woman was coming down the aisle and I swear to you, I thought she was naked. I was like what is this?
Speaker 1She had his flesh-colored leggings.
Speaker 2Leggings women. What is it with the leggings? Look, I am not judging anyone, but I kinda am. If you put them all, look in the mirror first and do a full 360, maybe set up your camera, hit record, do a little video and watch it back. What are people gonna see? Maybe you need different angles.
Speaker 1I do not know what Turn around, turn around.
Speaker 2And I know leggings are must be comfortable or casual, I don't know. Put a shirt on that covers like Long long. I mean I could see front and back, every dimple, every lump.
Speaker 1Every camel toe.
Speaker 2Everything, all of it, and I was like Moose track and all Stop. But okay. But then we have employees, older employees that wear leggings very well.
Speaker 1Yes appropriate.
Speaker 2They dress them up. They have on their leggings, they have on cute tops, they may even throw on a little cape or whatever you wanna call it, and looks very good. So I just don't understand the leaving the house with it all just hanging out, and especially now. Listen if you're like well, wesley, I'm gonna wear whatever the hell I want to.
Speaker 1It's my body. You do you.
Speaker 2You do you, but just don't wear them the same color as your skin.
Speaker 1That's when it really takes on a whole new level, Whole new level right. Cause that really cause it catches, you really stare at it, cause you think this woman's not wearing pants, because, honestly, these days in 2023, it wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 2I know and I mean, like I said, if you're loud, proud and wanna show off your body, go for it, but maybe just.
Speaker 1Let the camel run loose. I mean whatever. Seriously, if that's your thing, right? I personally wouldn't do it Right.
Speaker 2I don't know, it's just. It just threw. It really threw off my shopping experience.
Speaker 1But I mean as a man and I love me some sweatpants. As you know, I'm careful where I wear those.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Because there's only so much you can camouflage.
Speaker 2Or put on like the appropriate undergarments. That kinda you know, suck things up.
Speaker 1Yeah, keep them. That's true. High and tight. Yeah, then you know, you know whatever. Then it's not as yeah, but then I'm like I don't want people to think I'm Don't have, I don't have the goods. I mean, that's not that's not.
Speaker 2Don't ear them out. They don't need to be shabby.
Speaker 1I know, I know it's funny. It is. It is a happy medium, though.
Speaker 2Yeah, but speaking of that, we have customers that also. This isn't inappropriate, but we have okay. So we're in our retail stores in Greenville, south Carolina, are in a affluent area. Is that what you call it?
Speaker 1Affluent. Yes, it is.
Speaker 2Affluent area we have these. Well, most of our customers are ladies. They always come in in their tennis outfit, but they don't play tennis.
Speaker 1And there's one in particular, and if she's ever played tennis, I will kiss your ass Because I don't buy it.
Speaker 2Nice, some of them. I have been there before in previous years. Like back in the beginning, this is when I learned to shut the hell up. I mean like, oh, how'd your tennis match go today? Or whatever. Like I was loaded in their car. Oh, they said, oh, I don't play tennis, this is just cute and easy to put on, but they're out running their errands, making it look like they've been playing tennis.
Speaker 1Well, there's this one person, and it's the person that you're thinking of that I always talk about. I know that you're thinking of, because but I mentioned that to a friend of mine. I was like, why does? First of all, I said because they're kind of friendly with her.
Speaker 2Here goes our customers. We're gonna need you to buy at the nestificcom online, because we're about to lose all of our customers.
Speaker 1No, no, it's not a great customer, it's just a customer.
Speaker 2Now she's really gone.
Speaker 1But it's a friend of mine that knows her and I was like what is the deal with the tennis skirt?
Speaker 2What is it?
Speaker 1Is there some kind of an attachment? Is it like her blankie, because I know she cannot play tennis? And she said actually she does, she says she plays all of the time. I said well, when I look at those people out there playing, they're running and sweating and they are wearing themselves out. She must just stand there and wave the racket.
Speaker 2Because she, there is no way she plays and definitely not all the time. Well, I think she, she, because she always has on her tennis outfit, they must think she's playing.
Speaker 1She must have an entire closet of tennis clothes. I have never seen her. You've known her longer than I have.
Speaker 2I've never seen her in clothes other than tennis skirt. I don't think so.
Speaker 1I mean, it doesn't matter if it's Christmas. Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's summer, it snow could be on the ground, throw some leggings on, but she doesn't even do that.
Speaker 2No, no, just tennis skirt I would rather all the women start wearing tennis skirts and outfits than the leggings.
Speaker 1No, I do have friends. I do have a couple of friends and they don't play tennis, but they wear tennis skirts because they're like a sport.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And I get it. They're cute and my friends are cute. They could wear anything and they're cute, but I guess I get it. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I always wanted to get me some of the Samba soccer shoes. I've never played soccer in my life.
Speaker 2Speaking of some of this, we've gotten off topic with the tennis outfits and we'll just talk about customers now. The other thing is with some of our affluent customers are the ones that come in in the middle of the day and they have taken their pills. They're zen it. I'm just thrown out and just shopping. I'm like that's always we can write a book.
Speaker 1Well, we're gonna have a tail all Before we do the tail all, we're gonna have to sell this thing off because That'll be our retirement bonus. Yes, the book, yeah, the book.
Speaker 2That's what we'll just call it the book.
Speaker 1We're gonna call it the O5.
Speaker 2Could we write it and be anonymous, like have a, can you?
Speaker 1Well, that's what they did when they wrote the help. Yeah, I mean, they wrote the stories, but didn't tell who it was.
Speaker 2Okay, back on the subject of inappropriateness.
Speaker 1Well, I've got a good story of inappropriateness. And let me preface this by saying oh gosh where are we going? There's a preface that always makes me nervous Especially when it's you, it's my country family, Now my grandmother my grandma was very, very, very special to me. She was one of my favorite people on earth, yeah, and she was a sweet, godly woman that would do anything for anybody.
Speaker 1Is that the preface? That's the preface. And my aunt, her daughter, which is now 80, is also precious and would give you the shirt off her back. Very good-hearted people, but country and I guess the appropriate word would be ignorant to some things that you do or you don't say and do, and I guess they just didn't have a good filter. So growing up, me and my cousins and we were out in the country and we ate gravy three times a day, we ate biscuits, we ate biscuits and cornbread and all that. But for whatever reason we were all I was emaciated, skinny, skinny kind of.
Speaker 2That's how. I always look pitiful, but no one, you eat something.
Speaker 1Yeah, nobody was really severely overweight, they were normal. Somebody might put on 10 pounds, but nothing of significance. But my aunt had moved down to Florida.
Speaker 2Is this the same aunt? You're talking about the sweet no, no, no, Another aunt. She's already passed. This is the third aunt. Yes, I mean a third character in the story.
Speaker 1She had moved, before I was born, to Florida and she raised her family in Florida and I loved her, loved my cousins. They're very nice people. They had a very different life and I can remember going and visiting and they were eating doughnuts for breakfast. Well, that was kind of unheard of when I grew up. You just didn't do that. Yeah, we ate eggs or toast.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was just different, especially in the country.
Speaker 1Yeah, they just had a different lifestyle. My cousins were large or are large, they're still living and great people and I hope they don't listen to this, but if they do, they'll know how horrible I felt.
Speaker 1They were the sweetest, but they were just. I mean, from when we were kids. They were just big, they were overweight, they were very obese and we never made fun of them or anything. We would have never done that because we loved them and cared about them and knew better and knew better. We were taught. But my sweet grandma and my aunt, my cousin and I still talk about this because we were both mortified. We would know when they were getting there. Oh, they're getting here at 4.30. Y'all come over, we're going to go down to Anderson and eat at the Duff's, so we would all be there.
Speaker 2It was a family event because they were coming from out of town, from Florida, out of state.
Speaker 1We didn't get to see them but twice a year and it never failed. My little country, grandma she, or my aunt one of the two would start it out. I think you bigger than you were last year, no, no, and then the other one, and so I was about to die. My other cousin, Susan, and I would look at each other like shoot.
Speaker 2We were kids.
Speaker 1but we were horrified. And then the other one go what's you up to now? No, like it was.
Speaker 2Like it was an accomplishment. Oh my gosh, I'm such a hit and bearist just hearing the story.
Speaker 1If I had been them and they still come visit us and they still love us and I don't know why. I guess maybe they were smart enough to know.
Speaker 2They just didn't know better, you know better yeah, but. I. I bet they were never so glad to get in the car and get the hell out of there.
Speaker 1I would have never. I really think they enjoyed it and I really think they do love us. But that has bothered me for 45 years.
Speaker 2So this wasn't just like a one-time thing.
Speaker 1Every single time, and it was the same. It was every time oh what, you've gotten big, you, bigger than you was last year. I mean, it was oh no, and on and on. And you know, finally, I would aside to my grandmother, would say, I don't think we need to say that, yeah, well, what? I didn't mean nothing by it, but I wouldn't have came back, I would not have. That would have been the first time they said that would have been my last.
Speaker 1That is so it would have hurt my feelings, but it has literally my cousin, my cousin that lives here, that I'm so close to, we literally talk about it at least once a year and Still secondhand embarrassment.
Speaker 1And I even talked to her before I talked about it today on the way here. I said I'm thinking about talking about this on the podcast. Do you think they listen? She's like I don't know, but maybe you shouldn't say it, just in case they do, Because we don't know. And I said you know, I think I need to tell it because if they do listen, I would like them to know how bad I felt about it yeah. How bad it made us feel for them.
Speaker 2Yeah, Sometimes, and you know different generations just say things. Just no is this the same grandmother? That would pinch you on the side.
Speaker 1No, no, no, my grandma was sweet.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1This grandma was precious and she wouldn't. She would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings. No, my other grandmother on the other side would intentionally.
Speaker 2That would be like Thanksgiving right Speaking of Thanksgiving, Easter or.
Family Dynamics and Inappropriate Behaviors
Speaker 1Thanksgiving. I was always really slim and I guess I gained weight honestly to normal size in my late twenties. And my youngest cousin there's only three cousins on that side. She was always a cheerleader and beautiful, but she might have gained 10 pounds. I mean, it was insignificant, right. And then her brother, my third cousin. He was chubby.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1But he was the favorite. So my grandmother wouldn't say anything to him, but she would come up to me and my other cousin and pinch us, like it, around our waistline. Your love handles size, yeah, size, and like if we were getting cause I love sweets and my cousin was, so we would get extra and my family can cook they crazy, but they can cook and she would come up and grab us and whisper in our ear do you think you need that piece of cake? And it.
Speaker 2I bet you would almost just it ran all.
Speaker 1It was like I guess maybe that's why I'm so empathetic to my cousins on the other side, but it ran all over me. First of all, we were nowhere near obese, but she my grandmother on that side really cared about appearances and kind of like your grandmother. And in one day I said to her cause? She said that to both of us and it just deflated. You know, you say that to a female and that's really bad Right. And I said why in the hell do you choose to say that to me and her when your grand, your other grandson over there, is fat ass and he really wasn't that big. But I was just making a point. She said well, you and her have better self-esteem. Y'all can take it. I'm like you're just killing our self-esteem, right.
Speaker 2That's the same thing. So we talked about the. Steven and I have very similar family dynamics, like we had the sweet country grandma that would do anything. You could go to her house, you could get out the toys, you could do whatever. Eat what you want, then we both had the more strict grandmother that you didn't touch anything in her life.
Speaker 1You didn't eat in the living room. No, no.
Speaker 2Table. Only Don't touch anything, don't touch that. Whatever we had the. But she was always hard on my mom and she would say uh, cause you're the, you're tough, you can handle it. That was that mentality of those. It was.
Speaker 1I mean, it was kind of like damn, and I loved my grandma. I loved both of them, they both, they both made me giggle.
Speaker 2It's a different dynamic.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was a different, just different she was. I mean anything I did. It was like like when I bought my first McDonald's, this was her response. I called her hey, mama. Well, finally happened. Today I closed on my first McDonald's. Hmm, I cannot believe you gave up that good job making all that money in that company car to live under this kind of stress.
Speaker 2Always the next, that was my congratulations. And you're like well.
Speaker 1I did. And so then you know, time goes by, things are going well, I'm making money. And then I bought two more McDonald's and I call her mama. I bought two more McDonald's when in that day for that you were doing fine with one. Why do you have to have more than one? I could have been president of the United States.
Speaker 2And it wasn't going to impress or there was going to be a problem Something wrong?
Speaker 1Yeah, something wrong.
Speaker 2That is so crazy.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, and it was, she was always that way with my mother, like, um, that's how my grandmother Do you need to eat, that. I think you need to lose a few pounds. And if my mom were and my mom was never, was always tiny, but then she, if she was watching my mother, watched everything she ate because of health Right.
Speaker 1She was a fanatic health fanatic and she died young, so I don't know what good that does you, but anyway, right. And when she would do that because my mother ate like a rabbit my grandmother would push like don't you want this piece of cake?
Speaker 2Push means honor.
Speaker 1It's opposite.
Speaker 2Right, whatever. That's how my grandmother was too.
Speaker 1Your grandmother's seat, when it's not your grandmother or your mother, it's freaking hilarious.
Speaker 2Oh yeah when it's about someone else and not your family.
Speaker 1I loved your grandmother because she like made me laugh the entire time. I mean, just like when your cousin got married. I probably shouldn't tell this, because they listen, but it doesn't matter, they know how she was. Um, you know we were, we did the flowers for your cousin's wedding and I sat with my grandmother, your grandmother, who owned Meryl Norman Cosmetics. Meryl, meryl Norman, why don't you ever say it right?
Speaker 2Cosmetics studios and was pre-unproper and always met up For 50 years she made.
Speaker 1She owned that and she was a beautiful lady, and so you know how it. When you have weddings, they do hair and makeup. That's the thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, you get someone in to do your hair and they all looked beautiful.
Speaker 1First of all, everybody looked great. To anybody's standards, they looked beautiful. She turned to me and she curled her lip up and she said I don't know who did that makeup, but it's not right. Oh, you know, she was she and she had me rolling those eyelashes. I mean she was picking it apart, but that was just her. See, I thought it was funny. But no, she would have said that to their face, to them, they wouldn't have found it funny, Right, Because when it's your grandmother it's different.
Speaker 2It is true. Oh gosh, such a mess. Back to inappropriate things, though, Another thing that you should not do. This goes back to customers. We're kind of picking on customer. Well, we do have customers that do this too, but it goes back. But our people and this can be any whatever, but it does seem to have been more with women.
Speaker 1But again we have more women customers.
Speaker 2We do, we do that keep their money or their phone or their credit card in inappropriate places.
Speaker 1Bras and just and that's why you should not keep your phone and your broad. You know when we sold the radiation from when we sold the save the girls the phone strap phone strap things. We found out that so many women were keeping their phones in their bras. It was caught. It can cause breast cancer from the radiation and. I'm going to get it on my left cheek Asked you. That's why I carry my phone in my back pocket all the time.
Speaker 2I know.
Speaker 1Probably shouldn't do that, it is crazy.
Speaker 2I can remember though now it is more with phones or credit cards, but I can remember back in the day, at my first job, people would keep cash in their bras or wherever and they would bring out that money and it would be wet, just wet, just soaking wet.
Speaker 1I had a lady that came to McDonald's all the time, like every day, and it was even more gross to me because she kept it in this nasty old ziplock sandwich bag in her bra and she would pull it out at her at the drop through window. Yeah she just reach in and just pull it out and go like it went in.
Speaker 2Like nothing, like a little pocket. Yeah, okay, my worst win that I it's. It is still singed in my brain because it created a core memory of I wanted to throw up is a lady came in, got her cash out of her shoe. She took her shoe off, right? There pulled the money out soaking wet it was the summertime, it was like soaking wet, I like barely touched it and then, when she left, I took it back to the sink and used some dawn liquid detergent and scrubbed the money.
Speaker 2That is so gross, I mean it was when I tell you it was soaking wet. It was saturate, not like a little, just damp, like it was soaking wet from her shoe. No, didn't even think, Not like oh my gosh, listen, I'm so sorry, this is my emergency money I didn't have. This is the only place.
Speaker 1I'm going to run to the restroom and rinse this off before I give it to you. Anything, anything, that would have been like. At least you could laugh and it would have relaxed Girl.
Speaker 2You know, no, it was inappropriate. Didn't know better, I don't know. Just no, don't care. Yeah, don't cares what it was, but at least it's moved on to phones and credit cards. But see it, it our stores and stuff. Well, one store, you don't have to touch the card anymore. Our other one we're about to upgrade the system. You still have to like we have to take the card and swipe it.
Speaker 1And honestly, that makes it it's easier.
Speaker 2They should never have customers put doing that because I love it when I'm like I love well, I love doing like Apple pay or whatever.
Speaker 1There's one restaurant in Greenville.
Speaker 2Titty Tappadinko.
Speaker 1I've never seen another system like they have, and I always put it in wrong and he's like well, you're probably known about putting it in I have Good one, Good one that is so hilarious. And what about here's another that's very common. Now my housekeeper just had it done. She looks phenomenal, by the way. Yeah, but a lot of women I don't know that men do it. Oh, I'm sure they do. What do they do? Brazilian butt lift, yeah.
Speaker 2Well, that's what I was about to bring up. So someone a few weeks ago in my question box and I wrote this one down and I thought this fit into the inappropriate category or kind of what we're talking about Someone said what is it with these huge butts on women? Sexy or gross? Was there a comment?
Speaker 1I think it's how far you've gone, how far you go and like my housekeeper, which I love she's like family to me hers looks really really good. She had a tummy tuck and a Brazilian butt lift in Miami. And hers looks good because she's very muscular and fit. So it's proportionate. She's got muscular legs so it looks very natural. Proportionate. You would never know. But now if me and you with our chicken legs, we got a Brazilian butt lift, it would look like we had balloons in the back of our pants.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's so true. I want to know what was the process like for that.
Speaker 1It was that Well you know I had to ask all of the questions Right, so she had it done in Miami, okay.
Speaker 2Did she have the tummy tuck and that done at the same time?
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2So her stomach's jacked up and she can't sit on her ass.
Speaker 1She had to sleep like basically on her knees, like on her elbows and knees, and she had to wear a body corset every day, oh my God. So she had to cinch her body up like the size of a child every day, uh-huh, and she had to sleep. I think she told me the hardest part was the sleeping at night. So basically she had to sleep with her ass in the air. Oh my God, she couldn't wear panties for six months.
Speaker 2What? No, no panties.
Speaker 1So she didn't work for six months and when she came back to work she was still wearing the body corset. But she, when I tell you she looks phenomenal, she does. She doesn't look like Kim Kardashian, like where, it's like Like kind of out Very fake looking.
Speaker 2Yeah, not at all. Well, kim says hers is real. Okay, I mean I, I think any.
Speaker 1Again, I think anything you want to do that makes yourself feel better about yourself, do it. You need to do it and it's fine to do it. That's how I feel about it. But then don't don't be complaining, though, when someone comments about it no if you look like a cat or a freak on it Right, and you know it is what it is, I'm going to get a fake dolly with her boobs. She owns them.
Speaker 2She owns it, she makes a joke about it, and that's the way it is.
Speaker 1I am very honest and upfront. Sometime in the next three years I'm getting a facelift. It doesn't bother me. I dread that it doesn't and I, you know I don't. And people talk about this for eight months. Do you think it's this side?
Speaker 2The same as this side? Do you think it's the same as this side, do you?
Speaker 1think they mess me up.
Speaker 2Can you see this? Yeah, is it, does this, I feel like my mouth is pulled, yeah. I can only blink when I lid. What? What should I? Oh my gosh, I think it's. I feel a little numb. Am I having a heart attack? She don't stroke, or is it?
Speaker 1They tell you like when I had my hair transplant, they, you know, they tell you things and you're like why? Are they making a big deal. You know a big deal about this, like they told me. You know you're going to go home and all your hair graphs are going to start growing immediately and you're going to see all this hair and then it's all going to fall out and it's going to be devastating to you, but then it comes back in over the next 12 months and I was like hell.
Speaker 1It's not going to be devastating. It wasn't there before.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Facelifts, Hair Transplants, and Inappropriate Behaviors
Speaker 1It's going to be fine. And it grew in and it fell out. I was wrecked. Is it going to come back? Oh my God, where it's not coming back. Yeah, and then it all came back. But it is so such an emotional thing and that's why, like a lot of surgeons tell you after your facelift to cover up the mirrors for you know, like a week.
Speaker 2Because you got the puffiness, the swelling, all that.
Speaker 1I mean, you just look like you've had the hell be known to be.
Speaker 2I'm only going through that with you. If I can document it, you can. We're going to document it in a series on your Instagram or something.
Speaker 1And start to finish and my surgeon, if I, if and I'm pretty certain that's who will do it it's down, it's between two surgeons. The only reason I may not do my plastic surgeon here in Greenville is nothing to do with her skills or her technique, but there's one in Charleston that has a suite where I can stay at the surgical center.
Speaker 2You definitely need that overnight. Oh, you need that. You need to read it for a week.
Speaker 1But because you will be if, if I did it here in Greenville, you would be able to go document the surgery itself.
Speaker 2You can go into the I don't know about that, We'll just do the. I'll be out of it. I don't care. Yeah, I, we can just see that before you go in and the recovery my mother wanted to go in.
Speaker 1She took me to get my hair transplant and she wanted to watch the surgery. Yeah, and I said no, because I had to be awake to hear that, because it was an eight and a half hour long surgery and you can't be under that long and and you have to be agile, you have to be able to move and turn. And I was like, no, you're not going to be in there. And she was like, wow, I want to watch, I'm paying for it. She did it for me for Christmas that year. I said, because I know you that the first cut should be oh, baby, are you okay? Oh, that look. Oh, oh, is it numb?
Speaker 2No, yeah, I knew, I was like I know you said you almost did you throw up or almost passed out because of no, I almost threw up twice, but they said I don't know, it was just gross. So if you don't know for the transplant, they cut Steven like ear to ear on the backside and took a half an inch of my scalp out and to get a strip of hair, and then they put those into like little pieces, clusters, whatever.
Speaker 1They cut out the follicles that look like maggots with little hairs coming out.
Speaker 2And then they punched that into your head.
Speaker 1And it sounds. This is what made me so sick. I got sick the first time right after, because they gave so much local, I think it made me sick, and then I got sick the second time because when they're doing the surgery, they're stabbing your head with like this rectangle or looks like an ice pick and that's what's putting the follicles in. They're getting ready to that just pokes the hole.
Speaker 2It just pokes a hole.
Speaker 1And then they had to go back with like these, these medical tweezers, and put the bury the follicle in, but it sounds like when you stab celery a celery stick with a fork. I mean, it sounded like it sounded in the pressure of it, sounded like it was going into your skull.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh. So that's why I got sick, we got to get off of this or whatever, so we didn't even talk about the big butts, though the question was is it sexy or gross?
Speaker 1You're saying it depends on the bill or you go in the build of the person. Yeah, I think if you're like, if you look like you're walking on your hands, your legs are so skinny and you do a Brazilian butt lift, you look like a fool.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I'm probably just not the appropriate one to ask, because I don't really look at women's butts. Like I don't pay attention to that Like at all. I mean your butt would have to come in like three seconds behind you and I'd be like damn, she's got a big butt.
Speaker 1Other than that, I wouldn't even you just don't look at women at all. I do. I look at their boobs, I don't.
Speaker 2I don't, because you'll be like you'll be telling a story like someone that we know and you'll be like you know, she's got those big old boobs and I'm like her boobs are big and you're like yeah, have you not? And I'm like, no, like how big. And you're like they're really big and I'm like you never, noticed, I just never noticed.
Speaker 1That's funny, I know. I mean I'm always and listen. I am the first to say if I were a woman, you would see my boobs like 10 minutes before you saw me.
Speaker 2I would be hoisted up. You would be like that woman. We saw it. Dragon con. Yeah that they were so big. They were falling to her face In all fairness if men could have safe and effective penile enlargements.
Speaker 1They would pull them on wagons and everybody knows that's true. If you could have them, safe and effective and functional, men would pull them on wagons behind us. Is that not true?
Speaker 2We gotta get out of here. It's time to wrap this up. Let us know what inappropriate things drive you crazy in public.

Oh, but people who take their shoes off on the airplane, people who clip their, nails on the airplane?
Speaker 1Oh, I haven't had that.
Speaker 2Oh, I've seen that. Personally I've had that happen. You know that's. Luckily it was across the aisle, because I was like if one of those things comes, if one of those nails comes flying, popping into your ginger ale. Oh, my God, I would lose it.
Speaker 1That is so gross.
Speaker 2I mean, there's so many other inappropriate things we could do, but the leggings where you look nude. Let's do us all a favor.
Speaker 1But the airplane thing. So somebody clip their fingernails? Yes, well, I was on Instagram the other day and somebody had recorded a flight and they were sitting right next to the restroom, oh Lord, and they hit record on their phone. It was like the horn section of a symphony in there it was like I'm like I guess you can't help it, no, and I mean I guess it's better to do it in there with a fan than to the person they were probably like, probably had Starbucks, like you did when you shook yourself and just blew it out.
Speaker 2I mean imagine when you lost.
Speaker 1I would be so. I've never had that happen to me on airplane and I hope it never does. That would be so embarrassing.
