Ah, buckle up, buttercup. We're driving separately today. Yes, take your own car. That's right, I'm about to head out of town. It's time for another episode of who's Driving. Welcome to who's Driving. I'm Wesley Turner.
Speaker 2:And I'm Stephen Merck. We're two best friends and entrepreneurs.
Speaker 1: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 on this week's episode if you're watching, stephen and I are in separate places, which is we'll see how it goes Probably will turn into a shit show. I don't know, we're driving separate. Today we are squeezing in this podcast because we've had such a busy week in a crazy time. We've had a lot going on.
Speaker 2:We've had a lot going on. Dylan and I have been in Atlanta. Yes, we came back here. We're getting ready to go back to Atlanta for two days. We're doing live sales, but they're super fun. We are loving doing live sales, but they're super fun. Like we are loving the live sales, like it's just. I think it's just more fun when you're in a new place, when you get to take it to the road, yeah, when you're having different products and and I think it's fun for us, um, because we get to go different places.
Speaker 1:You know we love a market. We love that's why we're here. We really just like shopping. So that's why we have a business that we can shop for people basically and bring the best products. But so it's fun when we get to take it on the road and do the live sales and I think that improves our energy and then the customers love it because they're getting to see different things and usually when we take it on the road to do live sales, we're doing things different that we don't normally stock in the warehouse or something like that. So, yeah, y'all went to Atlanta this week Today's Sunday that we're recording. So y'all went to Atlanta, you got back and then tomorrow, which is Monday, Daniel and I are headed down to our Florida cottage, Kind of a last minute planned trip a few weeks ago. My parents are going to be down there with my niece, so we thought we would go join them just for a few days. We're leaving tomorrow and come back Thursday and then, while we're gone, you are going to take the show on the road again and go back to Atlanta. It's the Apparel Mart at the Atlanta Market, which has great accessories, you know.
Speaker 1:But I have to say if you haven't, well, first of all, we got a brand new app for the Nested Fig. That's what's also been eating up a lot of our time getting that launch. So we launched it this past Friday. So if you've had the Nested Fig app and haven't updated yet, you need to update, you can just go to your app store. If you're on Google, you need to update. You can just go to your app store. If you're on Google, you have to download a new app. So just search the nested fig and it'll be the one that says like app tile under it, not the comment sold. If you're on iPhone or Apple iPad any of those just go to your app store and update your app.
Speaker 1:But the last live that y'all did on Thursday oh my gosh, I've gotten so many messages. Y'all went to this brand new place with bags, purses and that sort of thing. I have never had so many messages about. Please go back there. So many people ordered during it but then a lot of people missed, and because missed it and they were going to watch the replay, but because it was when we were changing over the app, we had to cut that live sale off. I've never had so many people message me and say, please go back there, I missed all things I wanted.
Speaker 2:Dylan and I have gotten so many messages, so we are actually going to go back to that warehouse that is not at the market.
Speaker 1:That is a warehouse outside of it.
Speaker 2:No, it'll be on Tuesday the 10th. Okay, Tuesday June 10th, we will be back at that place. That's awesome, but coming up this week. We'll be in Atlanta Thursday and Friday of this week and we'll be doing some other fun lives yeah.
Speaker 1:So y'all are really taking it on the road Week after week after week.
Speaker 2:Take it on the road baby.
Speaker 1:I was here. I didn't go. Well, you know, we don't always have to be live together either. It's fun for a variety but I was here getting everything ready this past week for the app to launch and trying to get all that under control. And you kept it going so and everyone absolutely loved it. And, speaking of the new app, I will put down in the show notes whether you're listening or watching in our online community. I'll put the link to the app down there and you can just click and update that way too if you need to. But the app so far we're on Sunday has gone smoother than I thought it would go.
Speaker 2:I mean now.
Speaker 1:It seems like we've done a couple of test live sales and now it seems to be that the questions are more just the customer not know something's in a different place. They're like, oh, how do I find this or do this? So it's so far has gone much smoother. I was holding. I've lost sleep and hours over this because I've been the one you know, I'm the technical one. I've been the one that has gotten all of this set up. Stephen, well, I did show you a glimpse of it, but he really didn't see it until it actually went live.
Speaker 2:I surprised myself, though. I surprised myself that I picked up on it as quickly as I did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so I was like, oh my gosh, if this doesn't go smooth, he's going to be like what the hell have you done? What is going on? Not that he would you know be mad or blame me, or anything.
Speaker 2:But I hate technological change. Yeah, that's the best word. I don't mind change, it's the technological change.
Speaker 1:And that was the other thing. You know, stephen runs the live sales typically from. He's doing the messages, putting up the products, putting out fires, answering the customer and I'm the one in front of the camera and I have to say, both sides of it is equally challenging and it's whatever you get in the routine in. So sometimes when we switch off and I have to do what Stephen normally does, I'm like I don't know how to do this. Where is it?
Speaker 2:Well, it's just a lot Once you're in a routine. At first it's overwhelming because you're like oh, I got to look at this, I got to look at this, I got to look at when. When you get used to it, it's not, it's not that hard and the hard part about me in front of the camera is I want to be reading.
Speaker 1:The comments that you're normally used to doing.
Speaker 2:It's hard for me to break that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm glad it seems to have gone smooth, and so grab our app. If you haven't grabbed it, we have some fun things coming up. Oh, we have new things like loyalty program in our app where you can earn points. Uh, we have different shipping.
Speaker 2:it's just a whole new experience and I'm excited and I love points I think that I think people, but people love getting points, people, and I think they're gonna love it.
Speaker 1:They already love it. I've had people message me about that. So last night I went and updated and added some new ways that you could earn points too, because people were already messaging like, well, I want, what else can I do? I mean I'm like, okay, okay, we'll give you some more points if you need, if you need more points ways to earn, so that's awesome. So this week, like I mentioned, I'm going to the Beach Cottage, where you haven't even been down there in a while.
Speaker 2:It's two years in July, so yeah, I mean we need to plan a trip.
Speaker 1:And you're not going this year because it's booked, and then y'all are going to Hawaii.
Speaker 2:So we're booking a trip now for the 4th.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we talked about that on the last podcast. Have you decided where you're going?
Speaker 2:Well, I had my heart set on Amelia Island, so we're going to book Amelia Island for the 4th next year. The Ritz-Carlton was booked and we both decided the reason we love a Billy Island is going to that Ritz Carlton.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you're liking it and worth going if we're not staying there Like there were.
Speaker 2:there was place available at Fairfield and Courtyard, but it's just not the same. I mean not that there's anything wrong with those hotels, but if you want a vacation mode it's not the same. In a spa and all the bougie things that y'all really want in life Food room service. So then I looked at Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee in Georgia. They had blocked out using points, so we can't go there. Probably can't go anywhere.
Speaker 1:Did they not all block out their points for holidays?
Speaker 2:Just some, and it was like $1,400 a night and I pulled that up. Dylan said oh hell, I'm not even going to ask if we're going there. I said that's right, we're not.
Speaker 1:What's the place that you gave us a gift card that we've never gone to? Is it in North Carolina or Virginia? That's good massage.
Speaker 2:Oh, the Grove Park Inn. We could do that, but we kind of got it narrowed down. We found a property that we like in Key West, so now that we can stay for free. And so now it's coming down to we're going to do Key West or Las Vegas.
Speaker 1:Go to Key West because I'm going Key West or Las Vegas. Go to Key West because I want to go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Come on, y'all don't want to go to Las Vegas for Fourth of July. It's going to be crazy Party people.
Speaker 2:It's going to be super busy. Well, it's going to be worse than.
Speaker 1:Key West no, because that's a more limited crowd down there Maybe.
Speaker 2:I really want to go to.
Speaker 1:Las Vegas, but it's fine, you can go without me. I'll be able to use some money to put on something.
Speaker 2:And let Dylan record it.
Speaker 1:Let Dylan record it from yonder way See if I were in anything.
Speaker 2:Wouldn't that be hilarious if you won like $5,000 in Florida.
Speaker 1:It would be. Yeah that would be amazing.
Speaker 2:We would need him to record it, because if I hit that on yours, I'd probably say oh, that was mine. No you wouldn't.
Speaker 1:No, I wouldn't. I trust you. No, you would be.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, I'm too honest. It would bother me. I'd be like okay, I lied, it's your money. Our new segment Southernisms.
Speaker 1:You are sticking with this segment.
Speaker 2:It is a public service. I mean, if you look at how many people are moving into South Carolina and it's a double-edged sword for me because you know I'm in real estate- and we have stores, so we love new customers. It really helps. It helps our business in many ways. But the traffic it is helps. It helps our business in many ways.
Speaker 1:But the traffic it is crazy and I know this doesn't pertain If you don't live here in Greenville, where we live specifically, you're like whatever, but living here you know. I moved here in 2005 to the area and been in Greenville since. We in like 2000 difference in the traffic I feel like every about six months. You know you go your same routine every day and I feel like about every six months I'm like, oh my gosh, the traffic's worse than it was. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:How it's bizarre. Yeah, it's so weird to me because I moved here in 1995. And traffic was bad on one road, one road in Greenville, and it was only bad during holidays and certain times of the day.
Speaker 1:Mainly rush hour. We never even had like rush hour traffic until Never you were noticed. I mean traffic would be heavy, but it wasn't like bumper-to-bumper rush hour until like maybe like three years ago, I really noticed like, oh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2:So we have a lot of people moving here.
Speaker 1:And it's good for the here, and I don't blame them because it's a great place to be.
Speaker 2:So come on down. It's a great city. We're adjusting to the traffic and we're extra nice here. We'll let you in. Yeah, go ahead, you can get in.
Speaker 1:See, we're nice like that, come on. Come on, hey, how you doing.
Speaker 2:This little segment is important.
Speaker 1:Don Come on hey how you doing this little segment is important. Don't come moving down here and honking your damn horn, though. If you are moving here, do not honk your damn horn if you come from up north somewhere or a bigger city. We don't do that. You wave people in, you stop. You let them in. Hey, thank, you If someone lets you in, say thank you and you go don't honk your horn.
Speaker 2:So this is a really important segment when you look at how many people are moving in here. And this, this one came. I was watching, you know, on instagram, of course and I watched this comedian talking and I was like, oh, this is funny, it was, it was about the South. So I said, oh, I've got to tune into this. They're either making fun or telling truth. And she, she was telling some truths. And one thing that she brought up and I had not thought about this in a minute, but I do think about it every time, I think, because I am really bad about not going to church, because my church is 45 minutes away and people say, well, get a new church. Well, I've gone there for 52 years, so it's a little hard, and so, you know, I'll set my clothes out at night and I'll say, ok, I'm going to church tomorrow, and it doesn't happen. But when I think about that night, when I'm like, oh, I'm going to go to church and I think about it, my brain still takes me to that same pew. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2:Your family sits in the same spot, yeah, forever Ever. One thing you do not do Is sit in someone else's spot. No, you do not do that. No, when you are visiting a church, you take your ass and sit in the back till you learn, learn where you can be, but some people like sitting in the back.
Speaker 1:You have to go in my church.
Speaker 2:It wasn't really that way, and we were always oh we did? We sat toward the back on the right side we did too.
Speaker 1:Right there we set like three, three or four pews from the back. Yeah, on the right side, that's what I mean and I mean sometimes we would. You might have to shift down. You know, someone comes in and throws a kink and things, so you might have to shift down towards the middle or towards the right side of the pew or the left side of the pew. You know some rando will come in and you know there's those people that like to move around. How you doing. I want to sit here with you. No, no.
Speaker 1:Climb your seat and go sit your ass over there every week and see.
Speaker 2:You know, since my mom and my grandmother died, I'm like who's taking over our seats?
Speaker 1:I know there's been vacancies.
Speaker 2:That's going to be awkward. When I walk in there and I'm like why the hell are you sitting in my seat? Why are you in my seat? Hopefully we paid for that pew or something. I'm sure there's a little plaque on there that we did, I hope, because it's going to make it less awkward when I throw their ass out.
Speaker 2:So I mean, she said that and I thought about it and I was like that is so true and I have, you know, and one of the things that I want to do this year or visit, there's a couple of churches in Greenville that are very LGBT friendly and it's kind of comical because I grew up Methodist and in my in, you know, it's never been a big issue. I grew up in a more of a liberal church and here, one of the churches that people literally for 20 years have been and listen, I will visit any church. I don't care.
Speaker 2:I don't get caught up in that, but I giggle because my grandmother did and I could just see her face.
Speaker 1:You know I grew up Baptist, I'm Baptist.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's fine. I mean it doesn't bother me, but I know when, like my cousins or something, they move some and they would have to go to another church.
Speaker 2:And they would go to another denomination and my grandmother always says stuff like that's not who we are, yeah, you're like it's it's. At least they're going to church, right, shut up. Yeah, it's funny. So when they were talking about the church pew, I just giggled because that is so true. Even when I went to, uh, my dad's family Baptist. So when I would go to church with my dad's parents, they had their pew.
Speaker 1:Everybody has their pew.
Speaker 2:Wherever you go. So another one of my favorite sayings, and I had to look it up because I was like what the hell does this mean? Does it really mean anything? And I've always said it. Well, he was drunk as Cooter Brown and I thought, well, who?
Speaker 1:the hell is Cooter Brown.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I looked it up and it goes back. If it's true, it could just be made up, but I mean my whole thing. My grandparents said that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's been around forever. It goes back to the Civil War days when, evidently, cooter Brown lived on the Mason Dixon line and the story is that he had family on both sides of the line. He had family fighting on both sides of the deal. What the old wives tell is that he just got drunk and stayed drunk for the whole war because he had family on both sides.
Speaker 1:He couldn't pick sides and was just a hot mess.
Speaker 2:Yeah so drunk, as Cooter Brown Coo'd and pissed off. Yeah so bronch is cooter brown.
Speaker 1:That's funny.
Speaker 2:And then another one, which I've always said. This one Ooh, you live in High on the Hog, yeah, high on the Hog. And that one makes sense to me because every year we would kill one or two hogs, mm-hmm. Well, you are so damn country, you are so damn country. Did y'all not ever do that?
Speaker 1:No, no, I was not that country. I never slaughtered anything, nothing. I mean, the closest we had to that was my brothers are hunters and maybe like a deer, like they would go deer hunting and then they would, but they would get it processed and then you know, but deer are so gamey. My mom would use the meat like she would use the, like the ground meat.
Speaker 1:Can't call it ground beef, I guess Ground deer as like taco for tacos, because once you seasoned it you couldn't tell the difference, or something like that. But anyway, you real country when you're out there killing a hog Well a lot of families.
Speaker 2:we ate the meat. But a lot of families sold it. So you know, once you killed a hog you had a lot of extra money evidently back in the day. So that's where that saying came from. We had not to interrupt, but we didn't Go ahead.
Speaker 1:sorry, no, go ahead.
Speaker 2:My idea, my reality of living. How on the hog was me and my cousin Susan literally got paid $5 for cleaning up the outdoor kitchen after killing a hog. Do you know what that was like? It was like you had slaughtered something. It looked like a mass killing in there.
Speaker 1:I cannot imagine Prissy Stephen, prissy Country Boy Stephen, out there cleaning that up, because nowadays you would be like mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. Girl.
Speaker 2:No, I wouldn't do it for 500.
Speaker 1:You wouldn't do that for 5,000.
Speaker 2:I don't know, 5,000. I could probably. I could probably stomach it again. Yeah, yeah, that was so. That was our living home.
Speaker 1:I was going to say a second ago, shout out. The other day I was at the outlet store. A second ago, shout out. The other day, I was at the outlet store. We had a big sale and two girls came in, two ladies, uh, and they were hoping to see you or so, to tell you, hey, they work in six mile, like in your area yeah, and they're like we've gathered.
Speaker 1:Steven is from like the six mile kind of area and I was like, yes, I can't remember their names right now, but I know they listen, so shout out to them. Thanks for coming to the. To the outlet store.
Speaker 2:We had some other followers that came in from a. Two were from Aiken and one was from Knoxville, but originally from Aiken for a girl's weekend, and they came over to the sale and they were super sweet and their names escaped me. I could tell you what they bought, but I can't remember their names. Isn't that terrible, Isn't that terrible? But we see so many names all the time, it's hard. I know they were super sweet.
Speaker 1:That is funny. It's hard. I know they were super sweet. That is funny, like when we see people and you know we see so many different names but we don't see faces, like the people on the other side see our face, so they immediately recognize us and I'm like now who?
Speaker 2:and they're like oh, I'm that one, so I'm like that's what one of the ladies was saying. She said said I feel like we're friends because I watch y'all and listen to your podcast.
Speaker 1:And I was like yeah, I said we are friends.
Speaker 2:I just don't know your face, Because everyone knows so much about us.
Speaker 1:It's really funny when we meet people like that and they say that, but they're like, oh, I love so-and-so, or I know you don't like this, or I know you like this or whatever, and it's like, oh my gosh, people know more about us than we. It feels like on our side, until we meet someone and they're like telling us, like my favorite thing is when you were talking about blah, blah, blah or you did this, and I'm like, oh my gosh, people do listen. Like people, people listen. It's crazy.
Speaker 2:Uh and we were talking. We were talking yesterday about how I never listened to the podcast.
Speaker 1:I've never listened to one of our podcasts.
Speaker 2:I never talked about it, which just I don't listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1:I've never listened to one of our podcasts. I never will.
Speaker 2:We've talked about it, which just blows my mind, and I don't listen to any podcast.
Speaker 2:But, I don't want any, honestly. I just don't want anything to have any influence on me. I just want to be real, genuine and be myself, and I feel like sometimes you get in your own head. I just want to be real, genuine and and be myself, and and I feel like sometimes you get in your own head. Yeah, if you start watching too much or listening too much, you know, I mean I'm never going to be um, whoever doing whatever podcast, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:So um, okay. So I saw this thing and I have to ask you this it was a good thought-provoking question on a fun level what is something you secretly judge people on? Like? If you see something, you know it could be something petty, it could be like like okay for me. One of the things that came to my mind is if I see someone's like social media Okay, before I say this, I don't, I mean I know because of what we do If we go to someone's house, they feel like we're judging their decor, like I mean people will say, oh, I had to clean it up because you were coming over, or like I had to get things together because I know, you know, your house looks so good or whatever. Honestly, I do not pay any attention Like it's your house I really like, unless your house is nasty or something like I don't look at your decor.
Speaker 1:It doesn't. I don't know, it really just doesn't cross my mind.
Speaker 2:If someone asks a question, I will get in that mindset, but honestly I'm not working. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And if I just walk into your house, I honestly don't notice. I mean, if I'm just walking in to say hey, how's it going, or whatever, I really don't notice, unless, like you said, I'm going over there and like come see our remodel or come tell me what to do in here, then I start like looking around and like noticing. With that said, though, the one thing that I secretly judge people on is, like social media, like their um, maybe their profile picture of what's in the background, like I always look at it like if you, if it looks dirty in the background, or if it's like a mirror picture and you have toothpaste splattered on your mirror. You know what I'm talking about. That, yeah, that is my one thing I will judge you on. I do judge that.
Speaker 2:I do judge that nastiness like, because if you'll put that in a picture, that's my thought that it's like a character thing.
Speaker 1:Or like a like character thing, if you took a picture and thought, oh, this looks good and there's just almost like trash behind you or the mirror is dirty. Or if you do it in the bathroom, people will take mirror selfie pictures and it's toothpaste, and then I can see the reflection of your bathroom in the back and there's dirty clothes pil piled up and stuff like that. I judge you because I'm like, if you took this picture and didn't notice all of that and thought this is how I want to present myself, what, what is it really like? So that's that.
Speaker 2:I feel like that. I feel like that's normal judgy. I don't feel like that's petty judge. Okay, I feel like that's normal.
Speaker 1:But, as I was saying, it could be anything. Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe other people don't have that. I literally have friends that say I mean people I've known for a long time that, like you, can never come to my house. No, you can never come to my house.
Speaker 1:I'm not paying attention to your house.
Speaker 2:I could care less what you do. You boo, I don't care, like that. That's weird, is there?
Speaker 1:something you secretly judge people on Could be anything.
Speaker 2:Gosh, I feel like a bad person, though, putting it out there One of the pettiest. Okay, this is very, very petty. Well, there's two things on men, and there's one thing on men and one thing on women, and this is so petty. Tell us no one's listening, it's just me, I know, it's just us. With men, when they wear an obvious belt, say you're dressed up and.
Speaker 2:I'm not talking about somebody that's poor or pitiful. I'm saying it. A person that puts themselves together that they have the means to do it is what I'm speaking of, and they wear black shoes and a brown belt Drives me crazy Like a mismatch. Coordinate If I wear a pair of natural suede shoes you know that are, just I don't wear. I I've have had those belts, but they don't hold up, so I wear like a chocolate belt.
Speaker 2:So you're in the same color family warm, warm colors, and I get, everybody doesn't have all these belts, but if you wear a pair of blue shoes, coordinate it with a black belt, so it's the same, cool or warm whatever.
Speaker 1:So blue or gray or black shoes, wear a black belt If you're doing something that's more warm browns, camels sand.
Speaker 2:If you can't match the same color, yeah, but if you wear them all the time. You just need to go ahead and get another belt. So that's one thing with women what I judge, and this is so bad Eye makeup, See I notice nothing like that like, like eyeliner and stuff. It drives me crazy and my my mind, my brain does work in artistic, very artistic color. That's the way my brain's programmed, and this like people that will like wear a bright blue eyeliner with their, and I'm like with what, what, what are you doing?
Speaker 2:like they'll have like green eyes or something. But I mean, I don't know that wherever a blue eyeliner should be used.
Speaker 1:But you know, I had a lot of employees, someone is listening today and they have on a blue eyeliner. Change it.
Speaker 2:I've been being honest. I feel bad, but you know I had an employee and she was a very sweet girl and I walked into the restaurant one day and I swear she looked like a clown.
Speaker 1:I feel like some people intentionally make their makeup look more artsy and fun versus natural and whatever they do, but this girl wasn't, and normally you know it's none of my business.
Speaker 2:I'm just telling you what I secretly judge people on.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't say anything.
Speaker 2:But, this particular day. She asked me, she asked you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't ask me Because I don't lie. And she said how do you like my eye makeup? And I said well, said well, I mean it was bright blue eye line. I said it's horrible, it's horrible. And she said these people have been coming through the drive through telling me that it looks pretty. And I said, honey, they feel bad for you, they're. And I said, honey, they feel bad for you, I'm just serious. I was like they don't mean that and I think you're a beautiful person and I want to tell you the truth. And you know, she looked at me and she said I really appreciate that. I said you're beautiful and you don't need to wear that. And she never wore it again.
Speaker 2:Well, so you have I mean, I didn't say it in a mean way.
Speaker 1:I didn't make fun of her. I just said it's awful, You're very pretty girl, I didn't say it in a mean way, it's awful.
Speaker 2:It's awful, it's bad. But you know I I mean, I'm sure I do things people don't like too, and that's fine, and. But you said what we secretly. You know I don't go around taking everybody's inventory I just do it in my head. Yeah, okay, but I'm critical of myself like that too. I'm like, oh, what are you wearing that for? But other than that, I mean other than nasty people, and I don't mean again, I'm not saying that's not a secret thing, that's not secretly judging.
Speaker 2:No, no, I'm not saying poor, pitiful or homeless. I'm not saying that I have a big heart. I feel sorry for those people. I'm talking people that choose to be that way I find repulsive. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I forgot. I wanted to mention this at the beginning of the podcast, but your family got out of prison this week the Chrisleys.
Speaker 2:So I don't think we talked about this on here.
Speaker 1:We've never talked about it. Steven gets compared to Todd Chrisley all the time and I have to say, your mannerisms, your look. I feel like y'all used to look a little more like really, really alike. Y'all still kind of look alike, but I think y'all are related somehow. Because y'all are from the same area.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just less than 20 miles apart, I think your daddy his mama. You know my dad could have happened. So the weird thing is is, before I knew who he was, I had people on social media asking me if we were related yeah and I was like I don't even know who that is and they're like well, and they weren't being like sarcastic or anything, they were being serious and I was who is this guy?
Speaker 2:And I I watched it and I was like I don't think we look alike, but I guess you could see. You know, dark blonde hair, you know.
Speaker 1:No, y'all look kind of alike and your mannerisms in person, If you are around you, are very similar, like ironically beardly similar, Like ironically weirdly similar.
Speaker 2:Walking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yes, Walking the things. Y'all say the laugh it's very weird.
Speaker 2:Well, they're out, they're out, and I won't. So they have a new TV show and but it hadn't started yet. No, but they picked up filming. They had stopped filming and then, when they were released from prison, they started filming.
Speaker 1:They said like that night, that day, like when they yeah, like immediately yeah.
Speaker 2:Their reunion was all on this going to be on this I'm interested in knowing, because they say, listen, I don't know anything about it, and they may be innocent, they may be guilty, I don't know, yeah, but I'm interested to see what comes out of it. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:It will be interesting. And I've heard things and like, again, I'm not getting political and I don't know enough to speak on it, don't you know whatever? I don't either, and there's two sides to every story. But it does seem like maybe it's been presented like there was some unfair bias or whatever and it kind of goes back to like the Martha Stewart. I feel like, kind of feel like where, um, maybe things were a little more, uh, not exaggerated, but like harder because of it being a public thing and like you know, I don't know, I definitely.
Speaker 1:I definitely think that I'm not saying that there wasn't a crime or wasn't whatever, but with someone else that was like just you know, not in the public eye have gotten the same treatment or the same time, sort of thing. And, like we all know, with Martha Stewart, which she, what happened to her happens every day. So you took the fall for it.
Speaker 2:Well, in Martha Stewart what she did honestly. I mean, her first career was a stockbroker, so she knew she didn't do anything wrong. The stockbroker is who did wrong. I mean, if I called you today and said you're going to lose $100,000 and it was a minimal amount for Martha Stewart- yeah, that's the other crazy thing.
Speaker 1:It was like $200,000. Why wasn't that like a fee or a fine for her, like, go to? Court and pay a fine, because you did this.
Speaker 2:She spends $200,000 on paintings. I'm sure I mean that's nothing for her. So I mean seriously, and my thing was, if the Chrisleys are guilty of whatever of something, rather than putting them in prison for all that time, let them be working and paying restitution.
Speaker 1:That's always what kills me. When it's especially like a financial crime and people have gone to jail and stuff, it's like why not just make them work and pay? It would be a better system.
Speaker 1:It would be a better? Uh, it would be more fitting. Yeah, it's crazy Dangerous. Yeah, it'd be very interesting to see. Uh, what comes. I can't wait to see the show myself too, and it's probably going to be one of those things whether you like them or don't like them, or think they're guilty or not guilty or whatever side like them, or think they're guilty or not guilty or whatever side For them, it's probably just going to make them that much more popular if they work it right, kind of like Martha Stewart Sucks that she had to go through that for her, but it probably made her in the long run more money and made her more relevant and stay in the public longer than if that hadn't happened.
Speaker 2:Oh, she tripled her net worth while she was in prison. That's crazy. I mean it dropped so much, but she did triple it. Oh my gosh. And then it's just been building, and building, and building since then, mm-hmm. And then it's just been building and building and building since then.
Speaker 1:Well, it's time I feel like we need to pull over separately, since we're driving separately and I got to get the show on the road. I got some things to do before I can get out of town tomorrow. We got a live sale tonight. I got to do some training videos for the warehouse, but I can't wait to see how this with us being works. We may not have to be together again. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:We'll be back together.
Speaker 1:We'll be back together. But we also wanted to test this out because we really want to see if we can mount these and have two separate recordings when we are on a road trip. So we want to see the quality, know the recording and the mics and all that. So we'll see how it turns out yeah, or we can. If we can do it when we're on the road that's what I'm saying, like yeah, we're on the road, oh, or like at market or something we could just set it up, yeah, yeah yeah, hotel without having to take you know all of the crazy equipment and stuff like that so far as we got through it.
Speaker 1:So I think we're going to pull this baby over. Remember, you can listen to our podcast anywhere for free. You can listen on our website, whosedrivingpodcastcom.
