Oh, but it's time for another episode of who's Driving. Welcome to who's Driving. I'm Wesley Turner and I'm Stephen Merck, we're two best friends and entrepreneurs who's Driving is an entertaining look into the behind the scenes of our lives, friendship and business.
Speaker 2:These are the stories we share and topics we discuss, as two best friends would on a long road trip.
Speaker 1:Along 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 home and garden.
Speaker 2:Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
Speaker 1:You never know who's driving or where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride. So we have some follow-ups to do. This week we're going to dive into a couple of really funny ones from our hotline, heading back to some awkward moments, and I thought another about another one for you. I need to know who that one was we'll have to text them. I'm sure they listen, so maybe they'll text us back and let us know I don't think there was a name. I need a name. Who that was, who that was?
Speaker 2:okay, are we picking on me? Oh, always, hey, I'm so glad I can be your. Uh, you know content, yeah you're so good at it.
Speaker 1:But before we get into that still getting bullied we are heading to the. We're heading to the high point furniture market. So our next episode we will have to talk about the trends that we're seeing, uh, there at the High Point Market. You know we always love to do a little follow-up to see what the trends are and what we're seeing and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2:Well, this April market is usually the market where you do see the new things and trends Furniture, market and picking up from last week's episode talking about tariffs and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1:They'll be, that'll be the buzz we'll be hearing. Yeah, what's it? What's everybody do what? What's? What are they doing? Or, you know, some vendors, I mean, and rightfully so and probably smartly, we'll use it as a marketing thing. You know, if you get your order in here at market we got some market specials. That's what we would do for the tariffs come in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean that's called smart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, usually they'll give some type of discount or something when something like that's going to happen, or they'll say, oh, I don't know what we're going to be up against, I don't know that. So we'll give you the full market update on the next episode since this one. We would have just gotten back last night, um, there from there. So let's dive into this. So a few episodes back. Uh, we've talked about some awkward moments and that sort of thing, uh. But I guess, before we get into that, hold on, let me backtrack here I go again. First of all, you have a squirrel.

Speaker 1:Do you cheat? I don't cheat, but I don't say.
Speaker 2:Let me just say I had some water and I mean why nobody sees it but me? No, I don't cheat. Try to look at it and you know, and tell myself it is really a good thing and I know it's in our.
Speaker 1:There's a little block on our members only community, but I'll put it down in the show notes if you're just listening to and you're ready for your water bottle and intake there. But anyway, that's a little plug from there. So a few weeks ago we talked about awkward moments. It was awkward moments day and I think we touched on this a few times. I have a lot of them Since then. We should just name the podcast that's our segment, awkward moments. It's a segment in every podcast because Steven is the gift that keeps on giving. That's the thing.
Speaker 2:So awful.
Speaker 1:And then some of you listening kept on giving and text us and message us.
Speaker 2:There's a few of you out there that are right up there with me.
Speaker 1:And so I printed off two of my favorites for this episode. This one is someone wrote in I printed off nice and big here that says we were eating at my in-laws for Sunday lunch and I'm very playful with my husband. We do have four kids, wink, you know. So you know it's fun to be good and playful. And I was cleaning up in the kitchen and thought my husband had walked up beside me and I reached down and gave him a little playful rub in the crotch area. You know a little tease. Hey, baby, it wasn't my husband, it was my brother-in-law. We can all still laugh about it now In my defense. They are same height, similar build and wear similar clothes.
Speaker 2:Was it really an oops?
Speaker 1:Yeah, or did you just play it off, did you?
Speaker 2:did you just? Had you been just wanting to grab it?
Speaker 1:oh my god, but that is awkward.
Speaker 2:That is something you would do, oh that would be so I think dylan would take me out and kill me If you were over at his family's house and grab someone. Yeah, and his sister has a boyfriend now, and he's petite. He's very small in stature too. That could happen. Oh my God, Please, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:I would just die. But that's a good laugh, once you get past it, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have lots of good laughs and I'm good with not laughing for a while. I'd rather laugh at somebody else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this one, I didn't even read you. This one went to a funeral home for a viewing before the visitation, signed the book and left and was talking to my friend about how bad the person looked.
Speaker 2:It wasn't them.
Speaker 1:And she said well, I thought he looked good. And at that time I realized I had gone to the wrong funeral home. And this person just happened to have the same first name as the man I was going to see. But at least no one else knew.
Speaker 2:No one knew and they were like that was so nice of Sally Farmer for coming by. We don't know who the hell it is.
Speaker 1:Who is?
Speaker 2:Sally, yeah, yeah, I bet that was one of his girlfriends.
Speaker 1:She probably added all kinds of gossip Gossip going on. Especially if it was in the South, I knew that tramp would come. Did y'all see her? I didn't even see her here, that was that teller at the bank that was his old secretary, wasn't that her name? Oh my gosh, just causing all kinds of drama.
Speaker 2:The thoughts are coming up in here, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:We were on the phone last night speaking. We'll switch to you now. Listen, just go with it.
Speaker 2:I'm going to create awkward moments for you so that I am not in the hunt. I think I probably have awkward moments.
Speaker 1:You just don't remember them and bring them up. You know, one of us has to be the secretary of the friendship. I guess we were on the phone and I don't know how it came up, but and Dylan was there, and we you and I started laughing about this, about how? Because Dylan wouldn't remember that, you know, dylan's a young, he's a young and he's what? 29 now 29.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:To trade him in when he he's young, he's what, 29 now 29. Oh my goodness, to trade him in soon.
Speaker 2:It's about awkward when he gets 36,. I'm trading him in on two 18s.
Speaker 1:That is not even funny, but it was a good saying Good punchline there. But no, we were talking about people bouncing checks.
Speaker 2:It's different now because it is electronic but no, we were talking about people bouncing checks and it's different now because it is electronic. Everything is electronic and if you know me, okay, I am well, I mean, I'm anal about everything, but I am very particular and I still write checks. I think I count it, I think I counted. I think I have seven checkbooks.
Speaker 1:So, steve, did you ever get a debit card? You did for the business eventually.
Speaker 2:You made me with the business account. Yeah, no, I don't have a. I've never had a debit card.
Speaker 1:I will never have a debit card unless I have to Wow. You have credit cards that you use.
Speaker 2:I use credit cards. It's safe.
Speaker 1:It's not coming out of my bank account.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:I know Steven is so old school Like he will still take his check to the bank to deposit it when you can just do it right there on your mobile app. And the bank doesn't even, like most banks, including ours that we go to, don't even have deposit slips anymore.
Speaker 2:But I took their deposit slips when I knew they I had. They finally told me you're the only person that uses deposit slips and I got all they had, and then I made copies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so he still turns in. I want a record, yeah, a deposit slip. I haven't deposited. I, you know, still have checks for the business. If we didn't have the business, I would never write a check.
Speaker 2:Dylan doesn't have checks. I was like I need a check. He's like for something. I said I need a check or you need to write a check. And he said I don't have, I've write a check and he said I've never had checks. I was like what? Yeah, you've never had check. I have seven, not, I have seven different checking accounts. Yeah, not including the business. Oh my gosh. Well, I mean, it's all necessity, is it though?
Speaker 1:well, but if you have this money market account, this money market, I still have checks because of the business, but with that I haven't deposited a check. If I have to deposit a check, I either go to the ATM and I put it in right there or I take a picture. I do the mobile deposit on my phone. I haven't talked to a teller in years.
Speaker 2:Well, I know what you're going to tell, because we were talking about it.
Speaker 1:I, I. He bounced the check.
Speaker 2:One check in my life.
Speaker 1:But it wasn't his fault, it wasn't my fault, of course it wasn't.
Speaker 2:My first partner. We were together 12 years. We've talked about that Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and great guy. But Was he? Yeah, he was. I mean I wouldn't have kept him for 12 years if he didn't have good qualities. I mean he would not pass the test now and especially he did he. He's not a fraction of dylan um, but he was as buttoned up as I am and keeping it together and organized. He was the polar opposite. So I've always had a checkbook. I kept it perfect. He would just grab random checkbooks, you know, with the same account, drove me crazy and throw it in his back pocket.
Speaker 1:So then they weren't even in the same numerical order, because you might be writing out of one book. He might be writing out of one book, he might be writing out of another book.
Speaker 2:So that was our household checkbook and that was his. My name was on it. That was his, I had mine. Mine was to the penny.
Speaker 1:Of course you did, but Only child Selfish.
Speaker 2:But, mm-hmm, I had written a check out of that account.
Speaker 1:Your house account.
Speaker 2:Out of the house account back in the day.
Speaker 1:This was the 90s.
Speaker 2:I had written a check to Pizza Hut Pizza Hut and it was like $30. It was nothing. Well, that dumbass lost that checkbook that I had written it out, didn't mention, didn't say anything. I think I lost it. He lost it. He called the bank and canceled that whole book of checks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:My one check to Pizza Hut was in there and I remember I was doing yard work. Uh, the mailman came by and dropped the mail on the porch that was back in the day and I saw an envelope from the bank uh-huh and it was hot pink paper inside. Well, I'd always heard that means it's a return.
Speaker 1:A return, a bounce check.
Speaker 2:It was that check. Oh my God, I had an absolute come apart. Yeah, I was like, why did I bounce? And we always kept a lot of money in there so I never had to worry about legit bouncing a check, yeah, and a lot of money. I don't know several thousand dollars. But if you're writing a $ a check, yeah and a lot of money, I don't know several thousand dollars. But if you're writing a $30 check, you knew you were covered. Yeah, and I called him. I said why in the hell?
Speaker 1:did my check bounce.
Speaker 2:Oh no, well, I lost that book of checks so I just called the bank, canceled it all. I said you are going to take this down to that pizza hut and you're going to make it right? I will never Do. You know this is a true story. My ass has never been back to that pizza hut again. You think they still know you there In my mind. So what we were laughing and talking about, you know. We both grew up in the country. I was in South Carolina, he was in Tennessee, and so we had.
Speaker 1:Well, also, what I was saying is when we opened Daniel and I opened Roots back in the day, which was 2009,. Checks were still hugely popular. I feel like they really dropped off around 17, 18, 19.
Speaker 2:We only get about five or six checks a month.
Speaker 1:It's very few Really. After COVID I feel like everyone got used to no check. I don't know if they were doing cards because they wouldn't take things during COVID or what, but after COVID we get like no checks, very few checks.
Speaker 2:It's like me and a few 90 year olds that write checks.
Speaker 1:But what we were saying? Well, you were saying it was so embarrassing to bounce a check back in the day.
Speaker 2:You were seriously like where I came from.
Speaker 1:You were trash, I mean your name, but everyone has bounced a check here and there.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying in the little small piddly-ass southern town. Yeah Well, really you wasn't trash if you bounced the check, if you didn't go get it.
Speaker 1:So that's what we were talking about.
Speaker 2:Do y'all remember, that's when you hit just trash?
Speaker 1:Yeah, do y'all remember there would be like? I worked at a gas station and growing up I can remember there was the wall or the board where they would print the checks off.
Speaker 2:It would say bad check board, yeah, and they would just staple them on there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just put your check up there for everyone to see. I mean, it was at checkout so you could see. You only got on there if you didn't come back and pay yeah within like 30 days.
Speaker 2:You had time to pay and make it right, they would call you so, honestly, if you didn't, you were kind of trash because you were stealing from that business. Yeah, because you knew it was there.
Speaker 1:They didn't do it right away.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. They would give you a chance because you know everybody's been guilty, like me with the Pizza Hut. It happens yeah.
Speaker 1:So Dylan was like what. And we were like yeah, they used to put you on the wall. On the wall if you didn't come pick up your check.
Speaker 2:But one time we you and I we had a lady here in Greenville. I wish she listened to us. I'm not going to call out the church, but her husband was the minister of music. It wasn't in Greenville, it was in Greenville County and she was shoplifting from all these stores on Augusta Road. Yeah, and she was arrested. Like we got her tag number and it ended up being like six different businesses. She was supposed to pay restitution and stuff and never did. And we went on Facebook and we printed out her picture and hung it at the register In all fairness, so the employees would know if she's coming in there. You need to watch out.
Speaker 1:You need to watch out.
Speaker 2:It's true, she was stealing and she had no reason to she. Something was wrong with her, obviously, but it was funny because when we, when the police called and we found out who it was, of course we took to facebook to see who it was.
Speaker 1:We took two. That's a Southernism.
Speaker 2:So we went and found out who she was, and I said, and we saw who her husband was, and I said, oh my goodness, there's McDonald's owners that go to that church. So you know, I had to call the McDonald's owners and I'm like, do you know so and so and they were like, oh yeah, her husband is our minister of music. I said, well, she just robbed us it's true, I'm not awkward, it was awkward.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know if they still go there, but I still think of that. There was an advertisement I saw something on Facebook for. I don't know if they still go there, but I still think that there was an advertisement. I saw something on Facebook for that church. And listen, it's nothing against that church, they can't help it For their Easter program. And I was like I wonder if they still go there.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it just makes you wonder Because she was a nice-looking, very well, very well dressed, very well put together lady. It was like a Winona Ryder situation.
Speaker 1:I just think she did it for a thrill or something. Well, some people just, yeah, it's a thrill, it's almost like a drug. You know, they get a thrill, they get adrenaline from it and I mean that's what a klepto you know kleptomaniac is. And speaking back in my small town, you know my grandmother had the Merle Norman. And we have a little square. But there was a lady and her husband was in. Was he a judge or a lawyer?
Speaker 2:I can't maybe I shouldn't give out too much.
Speaker 1:But anyway she was, that she was a klepto and everyone knew it and it ended up that you know she was a klepto, she would steal and then the husband would get it and bring it all back to the businesses. Or they would call him and say, hey, like just so you know, and then he would bring it back.
Speaker 2:And there's another lady here in Greenville and I'm not going to give out any information.
Speaker 1:That's the difference when you're a small town. So they didn't call the police, they all worked it out. They would just call and say but you know?
Speaker 2:there's a woman here in Greenville and everybody knows who she is and she's not poor, pitiful, she's well-to-do, and everybody knows who she is and, um, no one has ever prosecuted.
Speaker 2:It's really, I mean it's kind of odd. Yeah, I mean I know who she is, so like I know who she is, she knows me, I don't know, it's just odd. Like when I see her in one of the stores I'm like hey, are you stealing today? You know, I'm thinking to myself and I'm not like I don't. I try to be a nice person, so I don't ever want to embarrass anybody and she obviously has something wrong with her. But you know, there's that part of me.
Speaker 2:I'm like you better not be stealing from me, because I will snatch you baldheaded right here in front of everybody. You know, I don't have any tolerance for that and I feel weird and I always think does she know? I'm watching her? Yeah, and I'm like God. She's carrying that big keep-all-Louis bag today. You know she's just filling it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't help. But think big, keep all Louie bag today. You know she's just feeling it, yeah, you can't help it. And like I even had seen her in other businesses and I'm like, oh, what'd she get? You can't help it. Think like that, yeah, and you know, she may have, she may have gotten help, she may have quit. Um, I don't know, I have not seen anything. Um, I mean, she has stolen from friends that have businesses, yeah, and everybody you know gives her a pass or whatever. Maybe they shouldn't, maybe she they should, so she can get help, but it's, it's so awkward, I'm just like I just want to say just don't come in here, because it just you make me sweat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I get the. I get that stinky sweat when she comes around just that cold, just like.
Speaker 1:What is she stealing? What is she doing?
Speaker 2:and and it's weird because she had not only steals from businesses yeah, she has stolen from friends. Oh, like their homes, oh, that's even. I mean we've stolen from central as a joke and she's stolen. That was a joke. You know, we do it and then put it on it's, you know, and send it back. Yeah, but not really. But I did so. It's already out there. Our friend, central on instagram, is opening a business. Oh, yeah, um, so I did tell her we're gonna shoplift something and see if we get caught. Oh, we should. I mean, I want to tell her because we're not really, we're not really stealing. We will give it back, but I think it's a good test for her as a retailer.
Speaker 1:We need to go when she opens and be secret shoppers and shoplift too.
Speaker 2:And I want to know how good are you? Are you doing a good job? How much did we get Because we could leave and take it to her house?
Speaker 1:Just leave it on her porch.
Speaker 2:We just shopped with you and here's what we got.
Speaker 1:We walked out with all of this and no one questioned us. That would be fun and funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I think she should do it to us. We have to have her on the podcast.
Speaker 2:Do y'all know anybody? Do you have anybody in your town? That's like that. Do y'all know?
Speaker 1:anybody. Do you have anybody in your town that's like that. Are you a klepto or a thief and willing to talk?
Speaker 2:about it. We interview It'd be anonymous, we won't tell your name. No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1:We just want to know we want to pick your brain?
Speaker 2:Why?
Speaker 1:And what has been your biggest take? Yes, and what do you get from it? Like, do you just like the thrill or do you like the product? Or do you get the product home and you're like, ugh, I don't want this shit. And you know it's on to the next thing. Like, did you steal something you really wanted and you stole it because you wanted it, or do you steal it just to see if you can get away with it and the like adrenaline you wanted it or do you steal it just to see if you can get away with it?
Speaker 2:And the adrenaline. We've never talked about this and again we're not. We're not calling out any names.
Speaker 1:I know one of you out there, statistically speaking, one of you out there is got a little habit, so call us or text us at 864-982-5029.
Speaker 2:I want to talk to you. Yeah, we do. Well, we had an employee one time. Oh Again, we're not going to call anybody out, we're not trying to ruin nobody. There's another Southernism, go ahead. So we were just. It was after hours and it was the three of us. Yeah, and we were just having a chit-chat conversation.
Speaker 1:It's like we had closed up the store. I don't even know how it came up.
Speaker 2:This is a well-to-do employee. Okay, this is a fancy person. And we were just chit-chatting and she just flat out told us and laughed telling us how she would go to like Walgreens with her children in a stroller and still make up.
Speaker 1:She would just drop it in the stroller, oops.
Speaker 2:Just dropped it in there and would go out and we and I, we both thought it was a joke. That's funny. She was like yeah, I was like wait, are you?
Speaker 1:serious, she's like yeah, yeah it was just drugstore makeup.
Speaker 2:I mean, who really cares? That was her. That's a quote, right, and I have to this day not, I've forgotten that yeah, I can't get past it.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, and as soon as that conversation was over and we left the building, we immediately called each other and was like, okay, she's got to go.
Speaker 2:How do?
Speaker 1:we get rid of her. Because if she'll do that, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh and then, oh my gosh, talking about small world, and I'll give hints on this person.
Speaker 1:Oh, mm-hmm, do I know this story?
Speaker 2:You're tied into it in a convoluted way. So way before Wesley I had a neighbor that lived across the street. Fancy neighbor.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Because you know, I lived in the zip code and this was fancy neighbor and we had gone shopping together in her mercedes benz just want to throw that in there in her mercedes and, um, I'm just gonna tell you right now, this old boy, I've never done anything like that, still none of that. And we had came back and we had gone for a walk, yeah, and we went by a local business near ours now and they had a garden area in the back and it was fenced in, but it was like like you would have your chickens fenced in like a patio, fence like a patio four foot tall like you could bend down and pick something up.
Speaker 2:And she said and we were looking in there and I'm innocent, were y'all? Walking walking, okay. And she said what do you want? And I said you know, very innocent, oh, I like that. Oh, I like that. Yeah, I was like I may come back tomorrow, you know. And she was like, and she said we'll get it. And I said huh I said, well, I might.
Speaker 2:I, I mean, I'll come tomorrow when they're open. And and then I was like thinking to myself, well, I really can't afford that. Yeah, anyway, window shopping, yeah. And she's like, well, just let's get it, no one will know. And you're like mm-mm, when I tell you. Right. Then at that moment I said mm-mm, I'm not friends with you anymore. And I said I don't care what you do, you do you, I'm taking my ass home. Yeah, like that was the end, and I walked my ass home. I was like I am not going to be, I'm not even walking with you if you are taking something, right, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:And so fast forward like 10, 15 years later. I know what you're going to tell me. Yeah, we had at Roots a lady. Stop in still hanging baskets on the side of the building.
Speaker 1:In her Mercedes.
Speaker 2:It was an SUV. It looked like a Mercedes or a BMW, and I looked at her and I told Wesley I told Wesley this story.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And I said and you could not, it was so grainy you could not tell specifics. And I said I you could not, it was so grainy, you could not tell specifics. And I said I swear, that looks like her. Well, we are investigators. We looked up where she lived, her address, we drove by there.
Speaker 1:Well, no, then someone.
Speaker 2:Well, someone called the store and said because you put it on social media, yeah, this is what happened. It was great.
Speaker 1:This went on for years, forever remember that time someone still I mean it went years. This went viral in our area before viral was a term. I mean it was being passed around. Who is this? Because the video was well what it was. It was at nighttime and we forgot to put. We had hanging baskets hanging down the side of the building and we forgot to put them in the locked-in area. Car drives up at night grabs all these hanging baskets. You can tell it's either like a mercedes or a bmw, you know, like a luxury suv and it's night vision. So it's not that it's like bad grainy, but it's night vision. So you can't tell perfectly, but it was good enough that everyone was passing this video around on Facebook.
Speaker 2:Everywhere it was the best.
Speaker 1:I mean those hanging baskets got us. It was worth the steal.
Speaker 2:So randomly one day someone so I'd had this conversation with Wesley and and we were like I was like I swear it looks like her build. But she had long moved away and, you know, lived in a different neighborhood over on the east side and blah, blah, blah and I was like god it, I swear it looks like her build, but there's no way, yeah, like shouldn't even live on this side of town. And we kind of ended it there. And then someone called anonymously to the store and said just want you to know this really looks like, and they named her, okay, and I said oh my gosh, you're like I told you Somebody else sees that it's her.
Speaker 2:I told you somebody else sees that it's her. So we looked up where she lived and we went to see if it were was her car. But she had it in the garage. So we never solved that, but I you still think. I think it was her.
Speaker 1:Well, it is coincidental that you thought that immediately you were like I think this is so-and-so. And you told me this story and I was like really, and then we were trying to, you know, look up on Facebook and stuff, and then someone called and said I just want you to know, I'm pretty sure that's so-and-so.
Speaker 2:And they were adamant about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were like that. I mean coincidentally.
Speaker 2:Lightning doesn't strike the same tree twice. Like it was too yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know how we got off on this, but it started with so do you remember the bad check wall or the bad check board? It would be at the grocery store, the gas station.
Speaker 2:All your local little mom and pop places. Oh yeah, I mean, you knew not to show your face there. Oh yeah, you better pick up that check and honestly in all fairness, because you had 30 damn days to go make that right and they would have been like I get it no problem, rip that up Over and done. Nobody judge you, but you cheated them out Of the money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's true. Now there's no. You know what kind of people. Someone would probably sue you these days for putting I don't know, I'd still put it up there. Someone puts up a bad check Also. Now it's happened to us, I don't know when the We'll probably get one now it's been a few years since I've gotten a bad check. But you can also just send them back through and then they, you know, if there's money in there, then it just goes through, or whatever.
Speaker 2:So most of the stealing we have with people now is just taking advantage of us. Yeah, but not outwardly stealing, it's more just. We're going to take advantage of you.
Speaker 1:I just thought of another awkward moment that involves you, what we started talking about this in a live sale the other day. I don't know how it came up. I think I was talking about. I've been recently working on some projects, business things and I've had to do more Zoom calls than I've ever had to do.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, You've got a big project.
Speaker 1:I got through all of COVID and stuff like that, with very few Zooms or video conferencing. Just, we work for ourselves. It's the one area I feel like I've gotten left behind in, because when I do it when I do it, though, and have to do these things, it's not natural Not the video part, but I don't know where to click. They're like, oh, can you share your screen? And I'm like, oh, can you share your screen? And I'm like how do I do this? And then I feel awkward and flustered when everyone else.
Speaker 2:I know, I know what you're telling now. Well, I was in the corporate world, and With McDonald's if you didn't know. Yeah, and I was a leadership owner, which means I was on the board. You know, I was the liaison between the company and owners, if you will. Yeah, so I had to.
Speaker 1:This is his awkward moment. We're getting to that we thought about. That's how we got there. I was talking about me being awkward and having to do the same.
Speaker 2:This is the number one.
Speaker 1:You think this stops shitting your pants? Yes, you were. This stops shitting your pants. Yes, you were more embarrassed by this this I almost lost consciousness over this. I remember so this was years ago, and Stephen, so video conferencing would have been kind of newer.
Speaker 2:It was very new and I'm an idiot.
Speaker 1:So this cause? This would have been like 2012. We live next door to you for a hot minute. We rented a house next door to you, daniel and I did, and I remember we lived next door to you and I came over and you he was all disheveled First of all. He had just like woken up.
Speaker 2:Well, it was so when I owned McDonald's, I worked very late and I did my own accounting and everything. So then I would work in the middle of the night when I got home. So I slept in, yeah, and I there was a. It was webcast then, yeah.
Speaker 1:That was a big thing. I came over and your hair. He's got this baby fine hair anyway. It's like cotton candy it sticks up like what are those little we used to have on the pencils back in the day.
Speaker 2:Troll dolls, troll dolls that's what his hair looks like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he'll have on some type used to like ratty T-shirt.
Speaker 2:Or no shirt at all.
Speaker 1:Shorts, Just ratty Homeless Looking. I walked in and you were like I am going to die. You will not believe what I did. This is bad.
Speaker 2:I'm going to die, not believe what I did. This is bad. I'm gonna die. There was a 10 10 am meeting on a webcast that I was presenting, but I had called marketing and said I don't need video chat, I'm just going to do it audio in slides.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it would just be your voice in slides, in slides, that's all I needed.
Speaker 2:I didn't need to be on there, and so I rolled out of bed at like 9.30. At that time I drank like what? A case of Diet Coke a day yeah, literally. So I had popped my Diet Coke. I was in my office at my desk, and my hair was.
Speaker 1:Troll doll.
Speaker 2:Troll doll hair and I just had on panties. No T-shirt, no shirt, nothing, just like a hat and shave.
Speaker 1:I think you should take your hat off and your shirt off. And give them a visual. Give them a visual of what this would look like. It was bad.
Speaker 2:I had not brushed my teeth, I had not shaved my face. It was bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. But I made it to my desk and I'm talking, being all professional and going through my slides, I do not know what the hell I did and I somehow hit, hit the video, the video button. It gets worse. I didn't know that. I hit the video button, so I was there like just nappy as hell, nasty just drink it.
Speaker 2:Still didn't know it. And a marketing person that is an angel said oh, and I see steven there drinking a diet coke. Well, that was my cue I. I almost threw that computer out the window. Oh my gosh, to this day, okay. Unless you're doing a lot of video conferences or anything. Put a sticker over the camera.
Speaker 1:The camera. Well, you know a lot of computers now have a little thing you can slide over it, Like it has a little slide thing so that you can close off your camera.
Speaker 2:I literally almost lost consciousness. I thought I was going to fall into the floor, did you just black?
Speaker 1:out. At that I felt my.
Speaker 2:And so I didn't know what to do. So I grabbed and just put my hand over the camera and I think I just stopped everything. And it was so bad. And there were and just to appreciate there were about 450 McDonald's owners and corporate and corporate and you're supposed to be doing a leadership thing like uh yeah, yeah, I'm the example.
Speaker 2:You're the example, all right, oh my, but you know what? Then, like, literally, I would say, that's one time I seriously thought about suicide and I'm not even joking, I was that—humiliation. Seriously, this is a fact. Embarrassment and humiliation is like one of the number one reasons of people doing that. And then I was like, okay, stephen, get a grip, you know what? No one can fire you. I mean, I'm an owner. What can they do? Knock me off of leadership? Okay, so, and then I thought about it how many people were just listening?
Speaker 1:Like how many people were in their cars.
Speaker 2:And then the other thing I thought about is how many other people look just like me and said, oh my God, I feel bad for him. So then I was like I don't give a damn.
Speaker 1:For about a day.
Speaker 2:you did, and I know, even at that I looked better than a lot of those people on that call I mean, or I just busted at that I looked better than a lot of those people on that call.
Speaker 1:I mean, I just busted out laughing when I walked in and you told me that and I was like, oh no, it's going to be OK.
Speaker 2:And I had to go to a meeting the next day and face people.
Speaker 1:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 2:It was. I mean, that was you know, somebody still tells that story.
Speaker 1:They probably forgot about it. It's only as embarrassing to you. They've moved on. They don't care about it. Do you remember anybody doing stuff like that? No, you just go on. It was funny at the time for them.
Speaker 2:I hope it was. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
Speaker 1:You were distraught, though. So National Day calendar I got that out. I don't think I talked about it last week. Well, I thought. Since we're getting close to the month of May, this week it's going to be on Thursday let's talk about the monthly observances for May. Okay, I'll just run through a few of them. Barbecue month this is for May. Okay, I like some barbecue. Miniature month Miniature, what? The hell is that Hamburger month, egg month, photography month I like all those things.
Speaker 2:Returning to your youth month. Oh, I think that means I need a facelift in May.
Speaker 1:Salad month, salsa month, strawberry month, Jewish American heritage month.
Speaker 2:I don't hate any of those things. We're just eating the hell up in this month. Yeah, I don't hate any of those things the hell. Yeah, I don't hate any of those, though, uh, there's none that are really. The only stupid one is miniature. Yeah, I mean, what is that like? Miniature figurines or miniature dogs?
Speaker 1:okay. So this week on the 28th, which would have been yesterday, is blueberry pie day. I'm just gonna hit some of these. I don't do. I don't do blueberries. So this week on the 28th, which would have been yesterday, is Blueberry Pie Day.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to hit some of these. I don't do blueberries.
Speaker 1:The 29th Tuesday. The 29th is Shrimp Scampi Day I like shrimp scampi sometimes. It's also Zipper Day, national Zipper Day, oh.
Speaker 2:So here's a question.
Speaker 1:Is that like?
Speaker 2:Do you like zip or button fly button? What do you like, zipper?
Speaker 1:I like a button fly. I don't know why. I feel like there's something like unique. I feel like it's a little sexier to have a little button action than a zipper.
Speaker 2:Always get everything zipped. I did button fly when that was the new thing and I don't like when I. This is probably TMI, but if I use we have gone way past TMI on this. If I go to a urinal if I use a urinal and, ladies, you probably won't understand this, but if I go to a urinal I just want to unzip plop it out do my business and roll on and with button flies I always have to undo my belt and start at the top.
Speaker 1:I can't go to the middle, hold up, wait a minute, back it up. So when you go to a urinal you don't unbutton your button and unzip. You don't undo your belt, unbutton your buckle and then zip it down. You just unzip it and pull it through like this little cave. Mine won't do that. Mine's too big to get through You're so full of it. No, I have to start at the top, no matter what, yeah, I have to start at the top, no matter what.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have to undo my belt undo my top button unzip, plop it out however you want to do it, go at the urinal and then put it all back together.
Speaker 2:I don't even do that. If I'm peeing right here in your house, what Mm-mm? I ain't doing all that and that's why I don't see that. Sorry y'all, that was way tmi, but that's what that's what it's for. No, yeah, no, look it up. That's why.
Speaker 1:That's why your underwear you and you pull it straight through the opening in your underwear.
Speaker 2:I do pull it down and out, uh-uh.
Speaker 1:No, because if you, mine doesn't do that, because if you just unzip it and try to pull it through, this has gone way off. The zipper hits it sometimes and I had it, I had it. It shreds it, it feels like it.
Speaker 2:I had. I had when I was at Clemson. I went through a period. This is way TMI. I went through a period that I didn't wear underwear. I don't know why I don't. I don't know why I did it Well, I do know why I did it. I know why. I did it because I could not work, go to school and keep up with laundry, so I didn't have clean, yeah, so I just went without. That's the truth. I zipped it up.
Speaker 1:Oh, you grabbed the skin and the zipper. That is the worst. I can remember doing that as, like a kid I did it, tiny kid.
Speaker 2:In college and I thought I was going to have to call 911. I almost passed out. It hurts so bad.
Speaker 1:Even now, if you just unzip it without unbuttoning your never happen to me again that hurts so bad. I'm not talking about zipping it up in there. I'm talking about because you just unzip it and the zipper doesn't spread apart enough. It grates against your thing. I kind of hold it.
Speaker 2:I kind of I don't know. I've just got it down, pat, I have to unbutton and unzip. When I was little I did all that, but as you, you know, grow up you realize I don't have to do all that?
Speaker 1:No, because when you unbutton your button to your pants and then unzip it, it opens up wide enough.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but my pants would fall down, like I always have on belts, and it would just go, and I don't want to be at a urinal with my pants.
Speaker 1:I've never had my pants fall down ever.
Speaker 2:You don't wear like heavy belts and stuff either. I'm telling you most. That's how most men do it.
Speaker 1:That is disaster waiting to happen in my no, if I don't sit down.
Speaker 2:If I'm in my master bathroom, I take them all the way down and plop my ass down.
Speaker 1:Now I want to know how everyone does it. But you can't be the urinal and be like how do you?
Speaker 2:pull it out, do you?
Speaker 1:unzip and pull it through the zipper how? Do you pull it out, do you unzip and pull it through the zipper, or do you unbutton all the way?
Speaker 2:You'll probably get hit if you're like how do you do it?
Speaker 1:Well, what?
Speaker 2:about you. No, that's not acceptable in a urinal.
Speaker 1:I need to do an exit interview as they come out. Can we take the microphone to the street and stand outside of like a public bathroom in the park and be like? So we just want to know, sir, how do you do it.
Speaker 2:I think most people. That would be a good one.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I don't even know how we got here. I'm so flustered now. No, I have to unbuttonton unzip, so that that makes sense why I don't mind a button fly then that makes sense, because it didn't make a difference in there yeah it.
Speaker 1:It wrecks my world, it throws me for a loop uh, there's a lot on the 30th, which is what day of the week is this? I have to flip this Wednesday. There's a lot of national days here, including Adopt a Shelter, Pet Day, Bubble Tea Day, Bugs Bunny Day, Hairstylist Appreciation Day, Honesty Day, Military Brats Day, Oatmeal Cookie Day, Raisin Day. There's some other ones. Stop Food Waste Day On the first. Oh, we are stacking it up Chocolate Parfait Day. I'll participate in that day. Yeah, there's a lot of school things going on too Mother Goose Day. So there you go.
Speaker 2:So we need to go to our next segment because we've got things to do and we don't have time to read that damn calendar the whole time.
Speaker 1:okay, um well, you got us off on talking about pulling our wieners out.
Speaker 2:Wiener, wiener a lot of ladies probably found that interesting. Southernisms oh, we did not. You know, we talked last week about southernisms and we covered. Who you are Is Pecker a Southernism?
Speaker 1:He probably is Goober Goober. Are those Southernisms?
Speaker 2:Oh, my God Anyway.
Speaker 1:Our new segment, southernisms by Steven. He's got your Southernisms of the week coming your way.
Speaker 2:So last week we talked about letting you know who you are if you're moving here. Well, we didn't talk about this. Who?
Speaker 1:we are. We're the gays.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the gays in the South, we're the gays. The one you wantays in the South, we're the gays.
Speaker 1:The one you want to live next to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you want them to do your hair. You want them to do your flowers.
Speaker 1:And decorate your home.
Speaker 2:Yep and probably pick out your clothes and maybe do your makeup. But we, our title is we're the Gays and that's the gays.
Speaker 1:Yes, he does my flowers, he does my hair. It's why it looks so good.
Speaker 2:They love us in the service industry and the men, the southern men. Yeah, you know he's gay. Pretty good fella. You know, I ain't got no problem with him being gay as long as he don't hit on me. Okay, Now let's talk about that for just a second.
Speaker 1:Wait, are we talking about Southernisms or being gay, because this can go so many different ways. Both.
Speaker 2:It's one in the same. This is the Southern men. This is their take on us. This is who we are in the South and, honestly, I've never had one issue in the south and but this is coming from a man. I ain't got no problem, as long as they don't hit on me and I'm like your wife, don't even want to hit on you. You are 400 pounds and you smell. It's always that person.
Speaker 1:It is that person.
Speaker 2:It's that person that says that it's not the hot guy at the gym. Yeah, no, no, that actually somebody wants to flirt with. It's always that nasty ass. Women don't even want you. Women don't want you. We definitely don't want you. A pit bull, don't want you with a T-bone tied around your neck. Nobody wants you, and so that's who we are, because I'm not going to call out the Yankees or anybody else.
Speaker 1:We're going to keep it fair, we're the gays.
Speaker 2:We know our place, it's fun, we own it. So a few words Change we're switching.
Speaker 1:This isn't a gay thing.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. I have a question. This is a Southernism.
Speaker 1:We're friends, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know we get called names as gay people and there's, you know names or whatever. Do you straight people know that the gays call you breeders? Do?
Speaker 2:you think they know that. I don't know, and it's very funny how too in the evolution when I came out in 1994.
Speaker 1:This breeder.
Speaker 2:And it's very interesting to me how all these words or titles or definitions come and go every few years and certain things are acceptable and not acceptable. And the funny thing is is how my straight friends' perceptions are to certain words oh yeah, straight friends perceptions are to certain words oh yeah and um. I was talking to someone and I said queer, and one of my straight friends says oh god, you can't that, you can't use that word, that's derogatory. I'm like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That used to be derogatory. Now that is acceptable terminology. I was like so you can say that word Honestly. I could.
Speaker 1:I don't take any of the words that you want to call? Derogatory, unless you use it in a derogatory. I mean, if you call me a MF, something, then it's derogatory, it's not that word.
Speaker 2:It's really not going to fire me up. You could call me anything. I would be like, hey, girl, is that the best you got? Honestly, none. For whatever reason, I'm blessed in that way. None of those terms, whether they're derogatory or not, affect me, honestly, because I know who I am, I know what I am and that does not affect me. You can call me whatever you want, from asshole to whatever. I don't really care, because I know who I am and what I am and that does not affect me. That's true Whatsoever.
Speaker 1:But back to my question Do straight people know that gay people call them breeders? Do y'all know that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know, it's just a fun way to refer to straight people, breeders, breeders, those breeders blah blah, blah.
Speaker 2:And it's funny. I refer people to other realtors and agents and whatnot. So I had friends shopping for a house out of state and said friend is in this house, and this house is absolutely phenomenal, it's fabulous. I mean I looked at it and was like queers live here, it's too good, this place is nice. But I was just thinking that I didn't say that. So they go look at this house with realtors. Well, coincidentally, I had referred them to a gay agent, not because he's gay, just because I knew him when he lived here. And he lives there. So and they walk in and the listing agent is there as well.
Speaker 2:And my friend refers to the wife of what a beautiful job she had done decorating this house. They're like and that agent was like wife, you think breeders live here? These are gays. Breeders can't do this. And she said this in front of my friend. That is an openly gay man and she's like no offense, but we can't do this. And he laughed. He was like well, I didn't get this gene either. I can't do this either. But I hear you that's funny.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, it was funny that she said that and because my friend had never heard that terminology and she was like and she called us breeders. Yeah, I was like, yeah, a breeder. Yeah, you didn't know that, you didn't know you were.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, breeders can't do this, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:That is funny. So, continuing on Southernism, back to our segment Change, change. So we have to use this in a sentence. I have not had a change to do that. So the definition of change is chance C-H-A-N-C-E.
Speaker 1:Change. I don't say that that's an older grandmother.
Speaker 2:It is, it is, but it is a southern is, but it is a southern it is a southern change so if you are in the south and you so, you hear someone say and depending on how small town deep south you get you could the? The age can go down that you use that word. I haven't had a change to do that yet. That's what that means.
Speaker 1:Walmart.
Speaker 2:Walmart, that's a Southern thing too, Walmart we went to Walmart.
Speaker 1:I can't even say it that way. Walmart is Walmart, walmart the CK.
Speaker 2:Walmart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's funny. And red light oh, everything is a red light.
Speaker 2:Yeah, up there at and red light.
Speaker 1:Oh, everything is a red light. Yeah, up there at the red light. It's not traffic light, I never. That is one that I still say. And I have to correct myself. I try to say traffic light, because it didn't dawn on me I think someone mentioned it one time that well, what if it's green? I'm like, oh Then it's a green light. You take a left at that red light, go up there three red lights and turn right.
Speaker 2:And I was like that is a definite southern thing. You think so?
Speaker 1:Other people don't do that.
Speaker 2:And the other thing is we'll wrap up southernisms with this. One is um coke there. It's not pop, it's not soft drink, it's not soda coke. Yeah, coke encompasses all of the soft you know what I say? I hate I say soft drinks because, only because of mc McDonald's.
Speaker 1:And I like soft drink and I feel like that is more of a commercial soft drink. What kind of soft drink? I have said Coke, and I probably still say that too, but I hate pop, pop. I want to punch you in the face. When I hear pop, I feel like pop, and I may be wrong.
Speaker 2:So if you're from this area, let us know. I think pop is like Illinois Midwest Pennsylvania pop, but I may be wrong. I think it's just a northern thing. Well, some of them say soda. Tell us what are soft drinks. What's a Coke to you In the South, generally speaking, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee Mm-hmm Coke.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what kind of Coke do you want?
Speaker 2:And that means what flavor Do you want? Sprite Dr Pepper Coke? It doesn't have to be Coke no no, but soft drink is Coke, yeah here.
Speaker 1:What kind of Coke do you want?
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:And that could be any brand, any flavor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, any soft drink, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I like soft drink. I don't like pop. I don't like pop.
Speaker 2:I don't know why, and here's one that bugs me Pop and my godmother says this, and she's from texas. So this is a, this is a texas thing. Well, texas is its own world well, in texas it, it's so big, it's different areas, right, she says cold drinks. Well, what the hell is that?
Speaker 1:the hell is that? No, that's a hurt, that's a her thing.
Speaker 2:No, no, I was watching something.
Speaker 1:What kind of cold drink you?
Speaker 2:want. Yeah, that's a thing. That is a regional thing and I'm like and for many years I thought it was just her, yeah, no, that's a thing. Cold drinks, she said. I haven't had any cold drinks in a lot and I'm like, well, what are you drinking?
Speaker 1:hot ones, that's funny, meaning she hadn't had a coke, a soda, yeah, soft, drink a soft drink and I'm like you were in mcdonald's, you should say soft drink.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's bothering me that. That's the only thing that really bothers me about her. I should probably cover that with her, you should. We're not going to say cold drink anymore.
Speaker 1:We're going to train you to say something different.
Speaker 2:We're going to go to soft drinks, so what do you call them where you're from?
Speaker 1:Let us know.
Speaker 2:Is there one we're missing? Cold drink, soft drink, soda.
Speaker 1:Coke, and you know, no one calls it a Pepsi in mean general terms. I hate Pepsi, me too, Do y'all?
Speaker 2:like Pepsi and I don't drink that many. She, my godmother, she drinks Pepsi products. She only likes Pepsi, she doesn't like Coke. And I'm like it is wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, like, like this is gonna sound bad or whatever, but like I don't drink many soft drinks at all anymore, I don't either. But you know, growing up as a kid and I born in the 80s and the 90s it was very popular, super popular. So we always had coke in my family coke, sprite, coke products this is going back to my actual brand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my aunt that I didn't like bought pepsi, should have known she wasn't no good.
Speaker 1:Then, right, I went to a friend's house and they had pepsi. I wouldn't drink it. I wouldn't drink it and I low-key judged. You didn't know it, but, like to me, pepsi products were like the no name it name. It was like it was the Kmart yeah, the Kmart to Walmart yeah, like Walmart when I was growing up was the better store and Kmart was the no name. In my area here in the South.
Speaker 2:Now it would be Target.
Speaker 1:Target's the good one. Pepsi would be Walmart.
Speaker 2:Yeah, target would be Coke. And what really sealed the deal is you know mcdonald's is kind of married to coke from the 50s, yeah, so I guess if well, you know, pepsico kind of is with taco bell, taco bell kfc, all that but I wonder what if? What if it'd been reversed? Would I be be a Pepsi person?
Speaker 1:No, I can't imagine. I can't imagine you went slumped that low, Like even.
Speaker 2:Dylan, even Dylan, like. We go to a restaurant and like, if we're like wanting a sweet, we do not buy soft drinks for home. We drink water. But maybe once a week when we go out we'll get a soft drink and we ask do you have coke or pepsi products? If they're say pepsi, we're like yeah, we're probably not gonna come back and you're probably not gonna go back our favorite restaurant in greenville carries coke products trio downtown if you carry pepsi.
Speaker 1:To me it's always flat, it's too sweet, it's just. And why were you not good? To me, it's always flat, it's too sweet, it's just. And why were you not good enough to get Coke? Yeah, it's like you couldn't get the Coke licensing.
Speaker 2:Like it was just a little cheaper to get that Pepsi yeah.
