Here we go. We're back at it again, Just a couple of days late this time. But they're late, isn't it? That's right. 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. You never know who's driving, or?
Speaker 1:where we're headed. All we know is it's always a fun ride. So this week's episode got derailed. You know how we do around here. Nothing new there.
Speaker 2:Well, we've gotten to where we wait until the last minute to record.
Speaker 1:We're back, finally bit us in the ass. That's right, but better late than never. So it's Thursday. We're releasing this. Remember, you can watch at whosedrivingpodcastcom. If you join the online community or anywhere, you get a podcast, you can listen for free. You can also listen for free on our website at whosetrivingpodcastcom. So how did we get here two days late? Well, we're in my office.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we're switched up from Wesley's office to Stephen's office.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we've gone from my office where we normally record it. Then we had to do it separate one time, then the last one we had to do at the warehouse. Now we're at your office.
Speaker 2:I mean, we're really taking the shit show to the streets right, we may be in my car next time, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but you know at least we're sticking with it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and shit happens. So Sunday night Refine to Sunday night. Sunday night we were in a lot of sale, yeah, and I got a call. I think I answered the call.
Speaker 1:I said I got to get this. Yeah, because you're like Dylan's called something.
Speaker 2:And it was a neighbor and she was like the fire alarm in the meal is going off. Are you here? And I said no, I'm working.
Speaker 1:But first of all, you all know Steven by now and you know he likes to be in charge and in the middle of everything. And I am in charge. So he's on the board at his condo mill and are you a vice president? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You know it wasn't good enough just to be on the damn board. He's got to be all up in it because he wants to have a say-so and make sure things in his home are gone. He thinks he lives in the whole building.
Speaker 2:No, I listen, it takes. This building is almost 150 years old. It takes a lot of money to keep it up and I ain't playing with that To keep it up. And I ain't playing with that Because we've never had an assessment since this building was done. So, anyway, we've had random things with the whole fire suppression system and it's very, very sensitive Like a false alarm. Yeah, I mean we've had excessive dust from work being done in the building, set it off, mm-hmm, you know various things like that.
Speaker 2:So my next-door neighbor called and she said you know, I'm not even going. I said listen, it's fine, dylan is home, I will call him. He can be my eyes and ears, we'll handle it, it's fine. And she said you know, you're right, I'm not even going out. Not even going out, okay, it's probably fine, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So I text Dylan in the live cell hey, nothing. Well, he always texts me back. We're both always right on it and I'm like where the hell is it? So I text him again Nothing. I'm like what in the hell is going on? So I called him and I was like where the hell are you? And I could hear and he said I'm in the shower. And I said now's not a good time. I said I need you to go out. The fire department should be there. I need you to go out find out what's going on. Let me know, just to make sure everything's okay. Because there were no other board members home. Yeah, most everybody that lives here has two or three or five homes. I don't know how many they have, but none of them were here this past weekend.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, except for and when the alarm, when the smoke alarm goes off, like that, it sends a signal.
Speaker 2:It does, I mean they automatically show up, they automatically show up and unless we were to call and say this is going on, yeah, you know it's a big building. I mean, there's 104 condos in this building. So I don't hear anything and I'm not. Honestly, I wasn't even alarmed, was I? No, it's like, it's fine, it's something stupid. Somebody you know burned their pizza. We've had that and I'm sitting there and the next thing I get was a photo. It just sent me a photo and it was just water pouring out of the ceiling, yeah, in the hallway, and I was like, oh my God, it's actually a like my, one of my number one fears.
Speaker 2:Uh, no, I mean, a home fire is horrible and uh, and then the good thing is, you know it's a double-edged sword. A good thing is is we have the, the fire suppression, the spring course. The bad thing is each sprinkler head. So I think there's one in here, that little thing. There's actually two up in here. Oh, is there Right? We have a million. Dylan was counting you have a lot. Oh, it's ridiculous. Maybe this is bigger. We have a million. Dylan was counting, you have a lot. Yeah, oh, it's ridiculous. And why? Maybe this is bigger in this, I don't know. Anyway, one, that one there went off. It was the one that triggered In someone's condo. 100 gallons of water per minute, that seems like a lot. Are we sure about that? Yeah, I checked with my dad too. I was just crazy.
Speaker 1:Well, my dad said when I was doing work on it, that there was an actual fire. There was a fire, so he runs out during the lockdown. Oh yeah, yeah, Sorry so.
Speaker 2:I am just like holy shit, nobody's there. I got to go, mm-hmm, I get here and there's more than I ever anticipated. There was probably four city police, eight fire trucks.
Speaker 1:It was not a false alarm, mm-mm, and it was not a malfunction.
Speaker 2:And the good news is being in McDonald's for 30 years. I've been through about every scenario you can imagine, and a restaurant burning down is one of them. So the good news is is we weren't dealing with customers sitting on the toilet or something you know. Yeah, the bad news is there's 104 units in the building and we still had dumbasses and I can say that because if I weren't on the board, I would have been one of the dumbasses that didn't leave.
Speaker 1:Well, that's like how we slept through the hotel evacuation.
Speaker 2:There's a lesson to be learned. You never know. That's true. You never know. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Speaker 1:You wouldn't have left. If you would have been. I just said that you would have been back there. You probably wouldn't even have heard them.
Speaker 2:I just said I just said, if I were not on the board, I would have been like I'm not there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not standing out there.
Speaker 2:So I actually had a few homeowners say don't be mad at me, but I'm not like I get it, but I get it, but I get it. But they were safe enough that they called neighbors to find out where the fire was, and they were on a different wing. Yeah, so they were not confirmed. But it's comical because at the time I don't think. All I think is I want to know what's going on. So I get here. No one's supposed to be in the building.
Speaker 1:I go running in the building You're like let me see for myself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, like I'm here.
Speaker 1:Steven in charge is here. You know that's how he is. You were probably holding the hose for the time signer Busting up in there. I was like what's the problem? What's going on here?
Speaker 2:How'd this start? I said what's going on? Yeah, Problem, what's going on here? How'd this start? I said what's going on? Yeah, and he was like walk with me. I was like, okay, so me and the firemen are going through and I'm like I need to know what's going on. And he was like, okay, go talk to my fire chief. Yeah, he's outside. I said, okay, point me to the fire chief. So the homeowner had left. There's a Broadway show here in Greenville at the Peace Center the Michael Jackson deal. We got to see it in.
Speaker 1:New York City. Oh yeah, you did Shout out Brooke. Uh-huh, she listened and she's coming to dinner in the Dias. Yeah, so they were not listen and she's coming to dinner in the dais.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they were not here and actually the owner of the unit was out of state on business, but his fiance had been here and left. Their dog was in the unit, so we really didn't know. She finally got here. I was like, do you have any idea? And she's like, no, yeah, and it's like in the spare bedroom.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was in the spare, it was in the guest room.
Speaker 2:It was in the guest room. She was like I dump laundry on the bed, yeah. So after several hours we let homeowners back into the building. Then we had the company here to reset the fire alarm or reset all of the sprinklers. I mean, it's a whole, like it sounds like it's not a lot, it's hours and hours. Yeah, you were up all night, yeah, the amount of water that it don't.
Speaker 1:It's a thing.
Speaker 2:Thousands of gallons of water, yeah, and it just takes hours. But I was so impressed with the city of Greenville Police Department, fire Department, impressed with the city of Greenville police department, fire department. We used rainbow restoration to get the water up. They've been working in this building since Sunday night, no sleep, worked around the clock. They've been amazing, I mean.
Speaker 1:I could not ask. I was impressed because I'm just on the outside like what the hell's going on. But they were here, the Rainbow Restoration people, because it started on the third floor, so that meant all the water went to the second floor, flooded the third, then flooded the second and then all the way down to the first floor, and they were here that same night with fans.
Speaker 2:They were here on our property before the fire department let us in the building. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:They did great, but I'm like how did they get we can't get four people to show up to work how did they get all those people to show up?
Speaker 2:They were impressive, and so I've already talked to management. I was like I'm sure you do they did a good job and you don't get that a lot these days.
Speaker 1:So the fire leave you hanging, started in the guest room In the guest room and you know Stephen had to go investigate. He thinks he's, you know, the doctor, but he's an investigator too. I am. No, you actually went with the investigator and so tell us.
Speaker 2:And I just honestly, I just wanted to go with the investigator just to say I would know, you know I was. I had no reason to suspect there was any negligence or anything, but it could have been like a candle burning.
Speaker 1:It could have been For its situation. It could have been yes.
Speaker 2:And I needed to know how to proceed with. You know, it was just important. So you know and I don't know shit about food, I don't know anything about fire that I'm scared of it and it was very interesting watching this, but I knew my country ass could not see anything. I'm like there was no. I was honestly expecting an iPad or a phone charger or some electrical device that could have caused it. So no, the way it appears, the way it has ended up, is we noticed that the globe on the light fixture was missing. It was an LED light fixture and the bulb was missing. So then the homeowner got there and was like is this? She said no, that was taken off. According to the fire investigator, what happened was sometimes those LED lights evidently can get short out and get hot. Yeah, so they're thinking it did that melted and dropped onto the bed Mm-hmm, and she had laundry there and poof Went up in flames. So what a freaky thing. What a freaky thing.
Speaker 1:But the thing I've learned, tell us, is keep your cover on your lights, but none of my lights have covers.
Speaker 2:It's not the same LED light. Those are one of those that are kind of made to be covered. Made to be covered and you don't replace it. Yeah, like a built. Yeah, so keep your cover on there. There was no reason. You know what I mean, and I'm not saying they were negligent or anything. They didn't know. Hell, it fell off. I wouldn't have promised. You know, shit happens. I don't think they did. I don't think the homeowner did anything negligent or wrong at all. I feel horrible for them. I feel horrible for the 16 to 20 homeowners that had been infected.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Luckily the water stopped like pretty much right at your door, like he stepped out like two times. That's where the water was running down the hall and I thought.
Speaker 2:I thought I wasn't in here and I thought it may make it in the door, yeah, but I was like we can handle this. I really wasn't worried about us. You know, at that point I was like we'll handle that. Yeah, you know, at that point I was like we'll handle that. But luckily and unluckily, the floors in this damn place are like this. You know, they're just like a burning house.
Speaker 1:Well, your floor in your bedroom is like Drops three inches. Yeah, it's funny because Stephen and I have a thing amongst us for our houses. I never end up anywhere with straight walls, like there's always some kind of like funky curve. Even our old garden store like it got narrower. There's always nothing, something ain't squares Right, just, and then, like my house now has all these like angled walls just extra. Yeah, and Stephen's is always the floors aren't level and like your old house, like his bed here is actually propped up on. You got it on like Shims.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because if not, when you lay down on the bed, you would be like my blood went to my head, and so I said to the people that owned it before I said did you not notice? How in the hell did you sleep in this? They said what are you talking about?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They said what are you talking about? And I said the bed sloped three inches. So when I laid in the bed I felt like I was hanging up something and they said you know, that is so funny. We never notice. How would you not notice that? How would you not notice that? That's crazy. So, anyway, and I think it goes back. I am making this shit up Now. I'm a meal iceberg. Yeah, I think it goes back to when this mill was built in the 1800s. Mm-hmm, I don't even know if there were window glass in all the windows. Yeah, and I think they made the floors slow for drainage purposes. Yeah, to keep the floors from rotting. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Because it was a factory, it was a working factory. Yeah, because it was a factory, it was a working factory and it shifted every time. So, long story long, the sprinkler, I guess, put out the fire, although it had to get hot enough to turn that thing on. I can't listen. It had to get hot enough in the room to trigger the sprinkler because it has to bust the glass, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:I've told every homeowner. The good news is this place will never burn down. Well, don't say that it won't. The bad news is we might wash to Georgia. Yeah, it may flood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:It could have been much worse, and I forgot to say while they left their dog at home. Yeah, so their dog was trapped in there. Yeah, so thankfully the fire department got here so quick. Yeah, and the dog was saved, because it wouldn't have taken long.
Speaker 1:Are they able to identify what condo it came from? How did the fire people or could they see?
Speaker 2:it. It tells you on the system. It will tell you what condo, what room, exactly, where it's coming from. That's good to know, they know before we know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I'm like, otherwise you're searching around Like.
Speaker 2:Dylan. I don't know how Dylan knew this. I don't know. Did he call 9. Somebody called 911 in the midst of it, yeah, and I and I could not honestly talk to one person long enough, trying to deal with all the different stuff and it was kind of insignificant. But I remember at one point Dylan saying well, 911 said a fire, and I'm like ah okay.
Speaker 2:And then somebody else had said at some point a neighbor said well, dylan called 911 or somebody did yeah, and I'm like, okay, and he doesn't. It's neither here or there. It all worked out, the dog is fine yeah.
Speaker 1:You got here, though, and Dylan was in the parking lot. Yeah, he had rounded up his bag of goodies.
Speaker 2:He had. I couldn't even stop and laugh because it was so, but I mean, that's good. It is good. That's what I would have done. He got my backpack. He was like I made sure we had one computer. Yeah, he got all of our car keys, which is $1,400. That's $600 a fall. Yeah, he got all the cash and got all the watches and jewelry.
Speaker 1:You said the hell with the rest of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we would forget my art, forget my photos, forget all of that. We would have Rolexes. You could sell them off. You know I could not. I would have done the same Because I would have been like that's funny.
Speaker 1:I can't believe he wasn't running in and out grabbing more batteries.
Speaker 2:I tell you that it makes you think. It makes you think about things differently, and I had thought about ordering the chain thing. You throw out the window to climb down in an emergency. It's not a bad thing to have.
Speaker 1:It's really not, but also you have a stairwell right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you should be. We've got one in two ways. Yeah, I feel you should stay.
Speaker 1:And I could jump. Yeah, you might break something, but you could.
Speaker 2:I'm sure I'd break it, you'd be in traction. But unfortunately I mean fortunately it wasn't worse than it was and fortunately I was able to call all the homeowners that their units were affected and get into their units and get Rainbow in to get water out. I mean, everybody has been. This has been as good as it can be for a bad situation. Insurance has been great, adjusters have been great and everything's happening. Bam, bam bam. Everything's being repaired.
Speaker 1:Well, that's good it's got about. Just on this one floor, like 40 blowers out there, just on this one floor, like 40 blowers out there.
Speaker 2:I wonder, when all said and done, how much money that? Yes, I bet you it astronomical, I bet it will be, with all the I bet it to be close to a million dollars of repair.
Speaker 1:A total plane that time. Yeah, it's a lot. Well, I'm glad that worked out. You still got a home because I was like, oh my God, they can't come with me. No, I'll be out.
Speaker 2:I'll be out of luck for six months moving. Oh my God, Because I'm telling you I would have just had to move.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is crazy. So, moving on from that, do you have any Southernisms for us this week? Because I have a story? Give me your story. Okay, have you seen? You've been busy so you probably haven't seen this. I'm going to chalk it up to being Southern, but have you seen these two girls on TikTok that were traveling? Have you seen any of this? And they got sent to the wrong place. So it's been. I'm sure you've seen it if you're watching or listening, but this is so something that would happen to Stephen and me and you traveling. So these two girls are traveling together and they are going to Nice, france, to Nice. France is where they're going. So they're traveling. They have their ticket to Nice France. Well, they get to the airport and Wesley, I'm sure of the two, had to check their luggage and they were four minutes late. So that's exactly the scenario that I would get us in, with or not you'd be like four minutes, four minutes. I told you you were on Instagram.
Speaker 2:In fact, this is a true story. My only travel issue with you is the very beginning, making sure you're on time.
Speaker 1:That's it Getting there and getting off, that's it. That's the only thing. They miss their flight to Nice Springs and there's not another one to get there from this airline. So the airline, I guess, like there's not another one tonight or today or whatever. So they referred them, I think, to a different airline next door, like they're already at the airport. So they go to the counter and they're like we need, we missed our flight, we need tickets to Nice, france, or to Nice, I guess, is what they said. Well, they get their ticket.
Speaker 1:Tunis, yeah, tunis, tunis is where they're going. They get their tickets. I don't know why they didn't check them. I saw an interview. She was like they were paper. We travel a lot. We just didn't pay attention. But they get on the plane and when they're on the plane they realize they're going Tunis, in Tunisia, africa. They're going to Africa, to a place called Tunis. Yeah, it's spelled T-U-N. How do we spell it? T-u-n-i-u-s? Tunis instead of Nice? Yeah, so instead of T-O, nice it's Tunis. Yeah, to Nice.
Speaker 1:So they got booked to go into Africa, Tunisia, tunisia, tunisia Instead of France. But isn't that something we would have done? So she posted the whole thing, like they literally realized it when they were getting on the plane they were like, wait, is this? And then the crew's all confused because they're like, is this going to Nice? To Nice? The way they're saying it to me sounds like more of like a southern kind of accent. Like, is this going to Nice? And they're like, yeah, we're going to Nice. And they're like, and then they're all confused.
Speaker 1:But then they couldn't get off and so they ended up flying to Africa. They get there, they said. I looked it up today after the whole ordeal they ended up just getting another flight, like they never. Because people were like, did you not just stay there and do something? And they were like, no, we were going to. Because once we figured out what was happening and then I guess people were messaging them like it would have been a pretty place, but they already had accommodations and everything set up in France, in Nice, france, and they couldn't cancel it and so they would have to book. And so she said they ended up just kind of a long layover and got out of there. But I'm like this story that sounds like one of my travel stories. That's something we would get ourselves into, you know, and I would have been the one documenting it.
Speaker 2:I have all of my travel disasters he would have been the pissed one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I have all my travel disasters. He would have been the pissed one. Yeah, you know, I have all my travel disasters. There's been something, especially if I leave the United States, there's something, there's something. And so Dylan's heard all those. Yeah. So when we were in, you told us when you went yeah, he was like no turn around. Yes, this story did not end up. Well, I remember it. Yeah, he was like no turn around. Yes, this story did not end up. Well, I remember it was turn around and I was like it's going to be fine. Yeah, it's going to be fine and it was fine. We stayed. But, yeah, I mean. So Southernisms I don't have, I have kind of. This is funny. So during the fire turmoil, a plumber ended up being here. Someone had scheduled the plumber that I use and he was here Just randomly Randomly the day after.
Speaker 1:The day after, and I was here, I was no sleep Because the night when the fire started it was like probably what? Nine o'clock at night, mm-hmm. And so back to the fire. You ended up staying up pretty much all night because you were letting the people into condos and double-checking. And it was just in the middle of it, mr Big Mac, over here, big back, and around this place, I said, gee, I can see you in here going. We're getting this done and it's going to be better than it was. Just wait.
Speaker 2:Yes, I was like didn't like this color of these walls. Anyway, I did say that I was like we're changing this.
Speaker 1:Well, we got to paint. We're going to change it all anyway, just saying.
Speaker 2:I can hear you. So while he was here, I was like you know, my damn garbage disposal has been broken for over six months and I just had to get these people over here.
Speaker 1:Water damaged from a fire.
Speaker 2:I'm dealing with them. But I just said you go on in there and replace my garbage disposal. So we talked for maybe three minutes and I said you know? Funny thing is I said I grew up in the country I didn't know what a garbage disposal was. You know what our garbage disposal was?
Speaker 1:The hogs. Well, see, in the country you had a can. Well, you're not supposed to have a garbage disposal, especially back in your day. They probably didn't even make them back in your day in the country, because when you have a septic tank you're not supposed to have a garbage disposal. We had, when we moved in our house had a garbage disposal and I took it out. I had it taken out, I took it out. You shouldn't have, because you shouldn't have that with a, because it fills up your septic tank and takes it out of balance. And you know, my granddaddy is a plumber. You need that, you know. Like my mom's house, they have a septic tank. She's never had a garbage disposal.
Speaker 1:And she's never had a garbage disposal and she's never had to do like doing that. She's never had to have her tank like pumped or anything Like it, just naturally.
Speaker 2:So when I have clients with septic tanks no garbage, no garbage disposal.
Speaker 1:That is good to know. And if they're selling or buying, if they're buying it and it's with the septic tank, you need to make sure they do an inspection because it may need to be pumped because it fills up.
Speaker 2:That's really logical, good to know. Well, I was laughing to him and I said you know, I grew up in the country we did. We had a I don't know how y'all did it we had what used to be a Crisco can that had the lid. We just all went down. We had a scrap can that sat beside the sink Real pretty yeah.
Speaker 1:Real nice looking. Those silver ones, mm-hmm, that matte silver with the little handle that the Crisco painted. Is that what it was? Mm-mm, it was just a little plastic, oh, just peeled off.
Speaker 2:Ugh, it was just a little plastic Just peeled off, stinking, yeah. But we would line it, you know, with like a Walmart or an Ingalls plastic bag. Yeah, real classy, real classy. And we scraped our plates in that, yeah, real nice. And I told him, I said I went from that to this and I said this shit breaks, we don't know what to do. It throws us for a week. What are we going to do now?
Speaker 1:Well, okay, but here's the thing. So growing up we had dogs or like outside, so we always just scraped it in a pan and fed the dogs, whatever the secret.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you could do that, but if you had hogs, we didn't have hogs or anything it depended on where I was. It depended on where I was, like my mom's parents. It went to the dogs and with my mom she wouldn't feed that to our dogs, but we just scraped it in the edge of the dogs With my mom she wouldn't feed that to our dogs, we just Once the dog got into the chicken or something. It just depended. But you know, my other grandparents, my aunt, both went to the hog house.
Speaker 1:But now, like Daniel and I, I'm trying to like we just scrape it into the trash can.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can do that, it just gets a little stinky and take it out. That's what we did and ours was broken. But it was just funny. How you know, I did not grow up with a dishwasher, I did not grow up with a garbage disposal, I did not grow up out of that, I mean. And now when our Wi-Fi goes out, it's like, oh my God, oh yeah, it is, we are down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're down for the count. Well, that's how we ended up moving places. Remember the Wi-Fi was down. It's been weeks since we've given you a normal podcast, but someone did reach out to me. I wonder if I need to check back. They have a countertop composter that is supposed to compost within 24 hours your food. I wanted it like a brand did. I wanted it just to try it to share with you, just to see what happens. I mean, I want to try it out to see what happens, Because that would be cool if it composted and no smells or anything. We've gone through periods. We have a pail where we will put our coffee grounds in some sort and then compost it. Then we just did coffee grounds and then.
Speaker 2:I mean, I don't agree Composted. Yeah, you have to be careful in the country because of rodents and attracting so much if you don't have a special compost.
Speaker 1:Well, we just throw it out. Daniel with the flower farm, he has a big compost pile and he turns it with the tractor and stuff like that. You know we don't do nothing with it.
Speaker 2:Does he still have the tea thing for the fertilizer? Does he use that? He does have the compost tea. I don't do nothing with this. Does he still have the tea thing for the fertilizer? Does he use that?
Speaker 1:He does have the compost tea. I don't know if you you know I don't keep up with you that was expensive.
Speaker 2:I don't know that thing was expensive. It was like it's like a giant tub, it's like a giant tea brewer.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that you brew a compost tea and then it's liquid and then you fertilize it. But I don't know, he buys random things and uses them, then he doesn't, then he does, then it's the best thing, then it's the worst thing. Well, I thought it was cool. Yeah, I mean it's in the greenhouse. I mean I know he still has it. I just don't know how much he uses it or does or doesn't. And he might use it for certain things, like starting certain things, or not. I don't know about egg a pando.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's funny like doing that, you know, for the southernisms, like scrapbook it I know that's a southern thing, yeah. And the other thing is and I don't know if I've ever told this on here for years I thought, you know, I went down to my aunt's house and our butter you told that was on a dish and pretty and pretty, and I thought fancy butter. Yeah, the grocery store had something nice this week, you know, I didn't think so, literally like 30 years, and she was saying something about butter molds and I was like those were grandma's. Yeah, she was like no, those were my butter. And I said what did't you for Butter Vault? And she was like all of the butter you had, what I made.
Speaker 1:That's funny. We should make some butter. I want to make some butter. It's not. I mean, it's not hard, hold on, it's not. I don't think it's any more like efficient or price efficient. But it'd be good to if you named your own butter and you could season it. You could season it Because I'm about to get it's about to be sourdough bread making season again, so I'm about to get into that. Which sourdough you can have anytime, but for some reason, even when I've made different breads, I always do it in the fall, winter.
Speaker 2:I don't like it in the summer. I always I watch how different people make butter in different ways. Yeah, it's interesting to me, mm-hmm. And then the seasoning of the butter. Yeah, and you know, I can always tell now, like when butter is fresh. Yeah, you know, because it ain't bright yellow. Yeah, if your butter is bright yellow, it ain't real. Or it might be real butter but it's got color in it, it's got something added to it. It should be a cream.
Speaker 1:It should be. If you're listening, we're going to wrap this one up. It's going to be a little shorter because I got to go, but if you're listening to this one, on Thursday or maybe within the next few days, next week we are doing a three day sneak peek week online at the Nested Fig, on the web or on the app, the Nested Fig app. So for those of you who are chomping at the bit to see some Christmas items, we're going to do a three-day preview.
